This is super scary and 1st gen is not an excuse for Ford. The brakes should be the highest priority system. This is the 2nd story I am aware of on this forum about brakes failing (the other was on a 2.7L). I haven't heard of that happening in all my years and now 2 on the Bronco.
I also went with Shomp and I can confirm that they are asking MSRP with 0 fees. I contacted 15+ dealers in CO/WY and that is the best I have found. Placed my order on the 13th. They asked for $1000 deposit.
Do you mind telling me which salesperson you worked with? I am also thinking of going to Granger but would be happy to keep things in state if they can come close to or match Granger.
Does anyone else see this as a good thing?
To me this likely means that they are replacing tops AND building new Broncos. How is that bad?
Yes, they could try harder to do a first-in first-out approach but we know they are busting their butts to fix a pretty bad mistake.
Just my 2 cents....
