NO Compensation for wait.

[Lakelife36]

This is getting strung out too long and with no compensation. "Free roof and price locked in". I go on the build and price and a year later Head Liner and price for my build is the same for anyone who signs up today. The only compensation is for those that order soft top these will be pre-wired staring September. But your hardtop will cost you more to ship it later in 2023. Yes the E-mail we got said 2023. "We anticipate accessory hardtops will be available in 2023 calendar year". So what compensation did we get? I've yet to see one Bronco on the road and most dealers have only have mannequins. With the hardtop problem is FORD still going to be able to run at full capacity with Soft-tops and get these done and out of the way. Probably not because I bet those are limited and production is such to only supply so many per month. I ordered a BB 2.7 MIC. So I have 2 constraints. a V6 a must and living in Midwest got to have a hardtop. I was considering switching to a Soft-top and taking a Hardtop later but could not get a cost and even Ford said expensive to ship. Ford said if you want both tops to order you Bronco at least with a MIC top from factory. This summer is gone and I only hope to get delivery by June 2022 so I can drive it next summer. YOU NUMBER GUYS how many Broncos do expect to be built per month? Or by June 2022 when most of us want our Bronco.

For one, Ford doesn't owe us any compensation whatsoever. It's right in the fie print that reservation does not guarantee delivery. At record low interest rates and (so far for now) low inflation rates there isn't even much of a case for arrears off of your measly $100 deposit. I am also frustrated, but more so by the lack of communication than by the myriad things only partly in their control.

That and most of us will get approximately $1300 total in ford points once the buyer takes delivery... Not to shabby...

Do we? Most of us? I hope. Please explain. I’m a night 1 MIC reservation. Ford recently keeps saying 1,100 in Ford points, but I thought 1,000 of that was for those who switched from painted mod top to MIC. I’d love to get these points, so crossing my fingers.

Don't worry about the Ford Pass Points compensation for the Mod top to Mic switch. There was a caveat in the email that it only applied to those who took delivery of a MY'21 Bronco. The WT reservation holders that for the most part have been pushed to MY'22 won't receive those points. Only FE buyers and the select few WT buyers for MY'21 will receive the 1,000.

Go to Off Roadeo and you will be willing to wait!

I just left day 1 in Austin, and yeah, my patience odometer has reset back to zero. I'm so excited again.

I waited at Culver's, in line, no free onion ring upgrade or nothin'!

Culver’s, you lucky duck. None close to me.

That’s what I was thinking, not most of us. I think those Ford communications do not include those details, making it sound like “look what we’re doing for you” for these delays.

Seems pretty straight forward to me. If you don't take delivery of a MY'21 Bronco, then no points for you as it pertains to the Mod top to Mic top.

I'm with ya man. My understanding is packages aren't changing, just potential additions or options. I think the price lock means they are using the SKUs and price from the initial ordering banks.

Like my BD build is price locked. If I change to BL, and I may, it would still fall under the initial price lock SKUs.

Ford never said they would price protect for a model change...

Correct, MIC tops get $1k plus about 310 for "inconvenience" and I forgot the other reason...

Do you have a vin yet? If not then your not eligible for the points.

Compensation for what. Ford owes you nothing. This whole situation sucks but thinking you are owed something is ridiculous. They gave out free headliner, 220k points when you get the bronco, price guarantee for 2022. Hell you're lucky you get anything. Nothing is stopping you from moving on

 

[rugbysecondrow]

Ford owes you compensation for a vehicle you are choosing to wait in line for? Does that make sense to you?

The reality, if there was a better option for you, you would have exercised that option. All this teeth gnashing about the Jeep, it really doesn't matter. If we wanted a Jeep, we would have gotten one of the millions available and on the road now rather than waiting for this new, special, Bronco. Any time of the day, any day of the week, you can find a Jeep to buy. That is always an option, just not a desirable one.

I have a car, pickup and a harley so for me this is a luxury buy. If ford wants to throw swag my way for "inconvenience" who am I to say no? I can wait it out and get the truck I want the way I want it!

 

[SuperFord]

Personally I hate it when a mistake is made or something doesn’t go according to plan and as a business you recognize it, own it and apologize to the customer who then asks, “but what are you going to do to COMPENSATE me?”

compensate you for what? If you want compensation I’ll get you an application and put you to work so you can earn it!

Sometimes a goodwill gesture is in order but some customers are opportunistic vultures. Ford’s communication has been inadequate to put it mildly, but they have made several goodwill gestures which people immediately crap all over as “not enough” anyway. so why bother? If they gave out free Broncos folks here would still find something to complain about!

Modern customer: “Ooh something went wrong! Let’s see how I can seek personal gain from this situation!”

(Sorry. /Rant off)
