Finally called Ford

[Bronczilla23]

Sooo I finally decided to put my big boy pants on and call Ford regarding my Bronco WildTrak. Talked to my dealer couple days before she said "It's been produced, It's in finalizing stage. Almost there" I said okay I'm good with that...But I really wasn't, so today I called... Yeah, I'm a stubborn one lol
Not much different, The lady on the phone was very kind (as expected). Long story short I gave her my VIN number (as requested), she said "please hold for a few minutes". She came back and said "your Bronco has been produced, but I'm sorry to say I can't give you a delivery date. It's being updated." That was basically it, I said thanks and hung up. My build date was 7/19, currently all my modules have an active for over a week now.
So I'm thinking, updating for what? It just came off the line. My educated guess is it's being put in a lot waiting for updated parts from a recall.
Any other guesses, I'm listening.

Likely the recall

I’m in the same boat. Blended 7/13 and completely built 7/17. Modules popped and originally they said shipping was going to be 8/3. Now dealer is saying 8/28 but it could change and that doesn’t mean much. I was speculating it had to do with a recall, but there is a site you can search recalls and my VIN says there is nothing. The really frustrating part is the dealer I purchased from has had broncos built at the end of July and they’ve already arrived on the lot… so if ours are built and no convoy issues, what’s causing the delay?

Very similar situation here. HLE built 7/19 and can’t seem to get any information as to why it hasn’t shipped. My dealer, who normally seems to be on top of it, has not had any intel of value whatsoever. Is definitely starting to seem like something is off.

I know right? At least you got a status change, showing up as "built". Mine is still showing "in production". (Sigh) yeah it's frustrating.
While I was leaving the deal of the other day, I a noticed green Bronco WildTrak extremely similar to the one I was ordering on their lot.. Even the invoice sticker was similar.
I walked away, turned around stared at it. Walked away again, turned around stared at it. Did that a few times while getting ideas.
Then I thought, naaa.... I'll wait for mine. Lol.

Yeah I agree big time, The level of frustration is reaching new levels.

After about 15 minutes of searching the interwebs I’m now convinced it’s related to this:

You better make sure that the Bronco sitting on the lot looking exactly like yours, isn’t yours…lol

Dang, you sure it wasn’t yours, sitting there because of some paperwork screwup?

I was thinking the very same thing... It was freaking weird. They had about seven or eight Broncos in the front lined up and only one WildTrak.. same eruption green I ordered. But It had a mod bumper. Although I'm trying to get mine swiped to a mod bumper, she wasn't mine. Lol

 

[Jilibnz]

Oh no…. I bet you are right. That would explain why those with later July build dates are arriving at dealers before ours. Ugh, I’m bummed because who knows how long it takes to repair hail damage for all those cars ….we’ll be riding with the tops off in the winter, lol! If that is the case, though, I wish they’d at least just tell us.

Lol... I did, trust me it took a lot of mental convincing for me to walk away . But she had a mod bumper, mine was ordered without one. Actually currently trying to get the dealer to swipe the capable bumper for a mod bumper. My ignorance didn't realize it's importance when I ordered it. 🫤

Ohh geez I hope to God....nooo. so help me if there's one hail dent on it...

I hope you don't end up on dirt mountain. Mine was parked there for 5 months.

Lol, maybe sometime in the future after my time is done working for Ford, but currently even with all her planned mods she'll be parked in my garage and babied... kind of a retirement gift for myself lol
