[mjsmitty69]

Why can't the Ford motor company respond to us all and let us know what's really going on with this bullshit over 2 yr wait....!

A trusted source at MAP confirmed to me something today. She had told me that most vehicles waiting for components are “released for shipping” with no holds. They are then put into a status of “GATED” meaning they are not readily ready for shipping but are missing components. Transporters are not yet notified for shipping until the missing components are added by the union senior laborers on-site during downtime in our case. Vehicles in gated status stay there for weeks and even months. The LUX package seems to be the culprit at this time along with 7 other constraints. The customer don’t know any of this. However in order for an assembly line to be a BIC factory or best in class they need to only have 10% of production in overflow or in the repair lot. As far as I know none of the factories in North America are a BIC plant. Area reps and dealers know about this and they mark vehicles as a “factory hold” but in reality the vehicles are in gated status. There is no defined timeline for delivery or completion of these vehicles. I’m almost losing hope. What’s frustrating is vehicles are produced now with some of the constraint items since they are on the assembly line while others already “built” rot on ice mountain for months. I was also told MY22 will continue to be built until January 2023…..smh

yep. same here.

the algorithm must be broke.

just got bumped again, this time did't even make it all the way through the delivery window (07/08-07/14) . now it's 7/15/2022 - 7/21/2022

Got my built email on 6/5, nothing since. According to the back door link I’m on my 3rd ETA (july8-14) and I just got a email from ford saying it’s being delayed and gave me the same ETA as above. Hasn’t shipped yet and they send a email with a ETA that is going to lapse in 2 days. Lol!

Similar situation; I got bumped to a new window 07/19 -07/25 two days before current window expires. This is the backdoor information, probably the actual notification email will come after the 07/14 which is the final day of the previous window.

Ford gave me an ETA of July 25th - 30th at the end of last week. Bronco showed up today. I'm picking it up tomorrow!

That’s awesome!!! Was it by rail or convoy?

I was also bumped to 7/19-7/25 (4th delivery window). FMC has no clue when these things are actually going to get shipped to us. They’re just kicking the can one week down the road every week.

I wish that FMC poster would respond to the rest of us on what’s really happening.

I was told Roush employees handle thins work. There are hundreds of Broncos parked at a Roush facility in Allen Park. MAP is using crews of assembly line workers in addition to Roush during the shutdown. MAP doesn’t have the man power to run the line snd finish the Broncos waiting on parts. The Big 3 is notorious for outside contracting as much work as possible.

Same here…just got my 4th bump to 7/15-7/21, built 6/08 and just sitting there all lonely

You guys should ignore those estimated delivery emails. They are computer generated and mean nothing. I’m on my 5th delivery window and it expires in 2 days. My Bronco is on plant hold and is not released for shipping, Ii don’t expect it anytime soon.

Bumped to 7/15 to 7/21 too.

I will check and drive by there tomorrow lol that’s not too far from the Krispy Kreme. I was told they are held in the “final assembly” lot at MAP. The crew finishing them are senior union members from what I was told. Apparently this is the “norm” with the big 3 with missing components….

I replied to their post this am on this thread and got nothing.

Not from the tracker. 3rd email I’ve gotten from ford saying my bronco is built with an estimated delivery date

If there’s a hold fine, no problem then ford needs to say that and stop sending emails saying it’s built with a estimated delivery date.

as far as the excuse that it’s an issue with their software that’s bullshit too. It’s a pretty simple check to see if a hold flag is set to true or false.

Roush 9 Facility Allen Park in Southfield before it turns into the freeway.,

The lot is packed.

Is your source a Ford UAW member?
