  1. Thermometer issue: outside temperature showing 118 degrees and it’s really 64

    They did eventually get the sensor working again. They said they traced it back to a low voltage issue. They actually said they found a bunch of low voltages, they called them ghost readings as they were not severe enough to show up on diagnostic tests and had to be found through some sort of...
  2. Thermometer issue: outside temperature showing 118 degrees and it’s really 64

    This thread is somewhat old and stale, but I wanted to chime in with my experience in case anyone comes through having similar issues. My external thermostat was reading 120-145F this morning... in January in Colorado. It varied through those temps widely throughout my morning commute. It also...
  3. How many long haulers are left ? unscheduled July '20 reservation holders?

    I've pictured my experience actually picking up the Bronco when it finally comes in, and I think you nailed it on the head. I'll be happy with the truck, but I'll be pissed at everyone who had a hand in the original hardtop fiasco, whoever decided they did not need chips and would apparently...
  4. More bad news regarding chips

    You’re assuming What I’m saying is you appear to be assuming just because you have a scheduled date or a blend date that they have your electronics ready to go, or that because they shipped some out last week on time that all of next weeks will also be shipped on time. That’s historically not...
  5. šŸ›  01/24/22 Build Week Group

    Just chiming in, 1/22 blend date, been in production ever since. I know the excitement will come back whenever I get it but this blows. I can’t even find it in myself to be happy for others that got theirs, because odds are they were reserved after me and through some Ford BS got moved ahead of...
  6. More bad news regarding chips

    LOL they don’t even have enough to get through December’s production.
  7. More bad news regarding chips

    I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not. My blend date was 1/22/22, and I can assure you they did not, in fact, have my chips snug at MAP. And there’s plenty of people with blend dates before mine waiting on chips.
  8. Feb-21-2022 Build Delays - called Ford customer service... few changes...

    I remember reading somewhere that Jeep has Bestop locked down as far as offering tops straight from the factory, and that's why Ford can't offer them. I'm not sure why Ford didn't go for another 3rd party to produce a soft top straight from the factory, but looking at the hard top debacle maybe...
  9. Feb-21-2022 Build Delays - called Ford customer service... few changes...

    We're counting every single day from reservation onwards because Ford had all that time - well over a year - to prepare for the larger numbers and completely dropped the ball. So yeah, that time does count against them. Production may not have started until mid-2021, but Ford's been working on...
  10. ā± Bronco Scheduling Next Week (2/21) For Build Weeks 4/4 Through 5/2

    If they’re firing the plants back up again, it better mean they’re anticipating getting the parts in for the ones that have been ā€œin productionā€ for 2 months. My understanding is they wouldn’t pull an order for production unless they had the parts for it… so what’s the hold up with my 1/17...
  11. šŸ“ˆ Bronco January 2022 Sales & Production Numbers: 8,101 Sold / 12,938 Produced

    What gets my goat is that there was a shortage on hard tops so they didn’t build mine, and now that they have my hard top there’s a shortage of chips… because they’ve been churning out base Broncos to send to people that order last month. So what, I have to wait until every last part is...
  12. The “I didn’t get today’s email” hugging and crying thread

    Aight I'll take your word for it and have my hopes dashed at a 100% increased rate this week.
  13. Anyone else's dealer just clueless or not helpful?

    But other folks are getting information such as whether they are code 99'd, or if their build is considered buildable from their dealers. If I knew I was 99'd I'd at least be able to let go of hope for a bit and not die a tiny death every Thursday. They're also being told that their dealership...
  14. Anyone else's dealer just clueless or not helpful?

    Oof, this is the kind of response I was looking for. I need to consider myself lucky I'm getting what I'm getting, I guess. I test drove my dealer's 4dr Badlands soft top on Monday, it was awesome. I'm 100% in love but it's making the wait even harder.
  15. Anyone else's dealer just clueless or not helpful?

    But knowing what place I am in line compared to their other confirmed orders and my status code is something ONLY they can tell, that stuff doesn't get emailed to me from Ford. I'm looking for any indication at all of my place in line beyond my reservation time stamp.
