5/23 Build Week

[BuckeyeBen71]

I do. my 3rd delivery window was 7/2 to 7/8. I called Marketing after I found out they said my Bronco was still just waiting on shipping no holds. After I got off the phone with them I drove to the dealership ( 1 mile down the road from my house) and found out they had just gotten a delivery of 4 Bronco's none of which were mine all build dates after mine.

Sales rep and myself called marketing back together got the same response no holds still waiting on shipping. In other words they're either fucking clueless or Ford has adopted a new strategy of of withhold build/hold issues from customers and dealerships.

Have asked that on Monday they get their regional Ford rep involved to get answers as to what the real story/issue(s) are.

I had a similar experience on 07/06 (the start of my 2nd delivery window) where I first used Ford chat, followed by a call to customer service to get an update. Both responded that it was waiting to be shipped and no holds. They were also so kind to suggest I use the Ford tracker web page which as we know is useless and works half the time.

I then called my sales rep who was receiving 4-5 Broncos at that very moment from a delivery but none of them were mine. He and his sales manager called Ford and got the same run around. He suggested the delay may have been due to a windshield recall but wasn’t sure.

I have 3 theories- 1) there is something wrong with the HOSS 3.0 that Ford doesn’t want to tell us and is trying to fix, 2) my Bronco has been lost on a back lot somewhere near MAP and Ford forgot I really wanted to buy it from them or 3) FMC is made up of idiots and this is why I should never have broken my rule about sending money to the State of Michigan. Go Bucks!

I don’t believe any of us will have a vehicle by 07/14 if we’re still in the “awaiting shipping” phase. So, I’m anticipating our delivery windows will be pushed again by next Friday.

HOSS 3.0 theory does not hold up, at least not for builds after mine, My dealership has already delivered identical builds to my WildTrak with later build dates, only difference was color. Nothing special about my color it's VB. Part of the reason I'm asking for someone to escalate to find out what the real story is here.

My conspiracy mind is working overtime this am.

I think our HOSS 3.0 builds were the first assembled at MAP.

Is it possible they discovered an issue on the first run (our Broncos), fixed the issue on latter runs and those are the vehicles being delivered? Now we’re waiting to go back through the assembly line for the fix after all the other builds are completed. I have no automotive assembly line experience but this seems reasonable.

At this point if there is an issue or a hold than just say so. The oh, there are no issues/holds, your Bronco is just waiting on shipping, here's a new delivery window bullshit is getting old.

My Bronco wasn’t at the dealership today but they had a Raptor F150. I looked at the window sticker and it was green like ours with a Blend date in March. I went to the F150 forum and it looks exactly like ours with shipping and parts delays. My point is we are not unique Ford customers. The only thing that irks me now is the term I keep reading. LIFO, Last In First out, meaning some trucks built after us will get shipped first. Supposedly the plant is idle so we have a chance if there are enough drivers.

Your theory #1 makes the most sense. I think we CD were the very first batch and at QC they found a major issue that requires resolution. The issue of the windshield is ruled out since only vehicles made December through march were effected. Only a handful of HOSS optioned WTs have been delivered and my dealership which is 5 minutes away from MAP still has yet to get any. I know for a fact none of us will have a 7/14 delivery just waiting for the next bump later next week….

My Bronco was built on 06/08/2022. I’m in my 5th estimated delivery window. My dealership is 20 miles from MAP. I contacted Ford Marketing 1-2 times per week the first 3 weeks. Each time they claimed it was built, no holds and released to shipping.

After the third week my salesman looked into it and saw it was listed as “Built, Plant Hold” since the build date - with no other details. He said chip holds and convoy delays would be noted in the file so it must be a recall or part hold.

I called Ford Marketing immediately after speaking to my salesman to see if they had any details on their end. They checked my file and told me it was built, no holds, released to shipping. I told them what my salesman told me. They put me on hold to “look into this further”. When they came back on the phone they told me it’s “Built, Plant Hold” and that’s been the official status since the build date. They couldn’t tell why I was told it was released or why it’s on a plant hold.

Fortunately, I was informed by a reliable, confidential source that my Bronco is on a Lux package related part hold for 2 minor parts. I am assuming many Broncos are on a hold for the same parts as mine.

2022 Wildtrak 4dr, Lux, MIC top, tow package, modular bumper, etc.

I’m in the exact same situation on to my 5th delay. Dealership and Ford gave me the same information. I am 2 miles from MAP. Did you resource tell you when the parts would be available?

 

[HalieT]

Curious- but does everyone have a 07/08-07/14 delivery date now? Regardless of your location?

Mine just changed to these exact dates. 3rd bump for me. I’m Convoy to SE Illinois
