Vehicles are designed to be assembled in a very specific order. In an assembly line, the chassis is married to the body. The engine is not dropped in with an engine hoist, as it will be with a swap. Of course people have been swapping engines for ages and there is a method, but it requires an...

Your plastic windows would be badly scratched, so not worth it. As others have already said, brushless or hand wash only.

I work for an OEM and that is not the case here. This of course does not mean it works this way at Ford but it is likely to be the same or similar. Here, once a car is complete it is considered by the plant as sold and is transferred over to the shipment group. They move them to their storage...

Well who knows. Maybe mine is waiting on a new module (chiped part). I would actually prefer that rather than a motor swap. I may never know.

When was yours built? If they are doing that currently, they are more incompetent than I had assumed and all logic has ceased. Also how long were you waiting on yours? This week makes 7 for me.

That honesty makes no sense. Why would you build Broncos down the assembly line all day with "microchips" just to have a lot full of units waiting for them? If this is true Ford needs to go back to the basics as this would account for roughly 5 of the 7 types of waste. I think several...

I'm a 9/3 blend date and my Bronco is still "in production". Never received a built email or shipping ETA. Never witnessed such incompetence in my life.

Mine hasn't shipped but the status changed to "in production" 09/03. Delivery date was 9/21.

Mine has the same status. Blend of 8/30, modules active, ETA end date has passed, and pending on palsapp (it is convoy). If there is some type of quality issue, they are not prioritizing the rework to these Broncos as identical builds are being shipped out everyday. If this is the case, they...

I just think it's purely based on luck. There was a Bronco delivered to my dealership with the same build week as mine and an identical build other than the color. It was delivered 3 weeks ago.

Thanks for sharing. I had no idea there were that many TSBs. I guess this should be expected with any new vehicle.

Are the defects you referred to know repairs occuring with Broncos at MAP or are you just listing general defects that customers have noticed once they take delivery? I will be really upset if I have been waiting this long for simple issues like some of these.

Awesome! Congrats! How many miles were there on it? Wondering if there is some type of QC hold or recall they are fixing internally. Mine has been MIA for 6 weeks with no explanation, so I'm thinking there has to be something being reworked to cause this.

I feel your pain. I would be glad to get any kind of communication from Ford at this point. I havent even received a built email and mine has been "in production" for 6 weeks. Guess it was sucked into a black-hole at the end of the assembly line because apparently Ford has no clue what the deal is.

Yeah this is ridiculous. I had a reservation within the 1st hour with the promise that I would have a Bronco by the beginning of Summer. Fast forward a year and I completely change/compromise my build based on communication from Ford and my dealer that if I did so I would get my Bronco sooner...

How many people from 8/30 build week are still "in production"? @Ford Motor Company what is going on with these builds? 6 weeks and no update is unacceptable. All your customers want is transparency. Some Broncos are shipping out immediately and others sit for months. IS FIFO not a thing anymore?

Can someone post the link? Going through the main Ford page takes you to 21 B&P.

Same here.

Yeah, mine currently shows a start date of 9/15 and an end date of 9/21. These must be the standard values applied based on the blend date as the status still shows in production.

Congratulations! I keep telling myself that the wait will be worth it but its driving me nuts not knowing what's going on with my Bronco. I'm still "in production" like many others. I'm not sure if the original order tracker has been maintained or not. If so it wouldnt be hard to figure out...
