Welcome to the club. Been moved three times already. I am doing my weekly check in with the dealer now……waiting to see if I’ve been pushed again.

If it's a 2 door, @PREMiERdrum just said the floor pans are being delivered to the plant damaged and have to be repaired.

Shocking a stamping plant sent bad parts to an assembly plant.

He said damage is from transport.

Bronco help line was useless. He said, " I see you ordered your bronco on oct 3, 2021..."
umm no...October 3rd hasnt happened yet. in the us, 3/10 is march 3rd not october 10th.
Had to call the dealer and he confirmed they moved my date to 7/12 on 6/12, although i havent seen an. email update yet.

The damage is apparently happening during transport, they're good leaving the factory.

Sounds like this is your first build change, correct? There was a big first wave of changes a couple weeks ago but now 2 door orders are supposedly being pushed back for a 3rd time.

Brutal.

Let me guess 1) Trailer was not airride. 2) Parts weren’t locked in correctly 3) Details on the racks are not designed correctly

I’ve been on the receiving end of way too much bad sheet metal.

Door #3.

Door #3.

And people wonder on this forum why launches take so long………..

 

[PREMiERdrum]

It's worth stating that hiccups like this are very normal for a new vehicle launch. Trying to launch a new vehicle smack in the middle of a global pandemic that has disrupted the entire materials trade, shipping routes, and supply chain services just magnify the heck out of them. Even the Webasto issues would have been much easier to identify and correct in more "normal" times.

We'll get our trucks and I have full faith that MAP will deliver their typical sterling build quality.

We know too much at this point, and that can be a blessing and a curse.

I’m in software delivery so I know how getting things off the ground work. My purchase will include an extended warranty…
