7/17/2023 Build Week Thread

[NJBadlander]

Same here and same answers from Ford chat. I’m out east so going by rail presumably but still no tracking available from CSX yet either, so I suspect it’s sitting there on the production lot somewhere either waiting to be shipped, or worse, delayed for a missing part or something. Hopefully not a victim of the seatbelt recall fiasco.

My 2DR HE had a blend date of 7/18 modules popped 7/20 but tracker still saying "in production" chat tells me their "secondary" status shows "built". Dealer vin view showed original delivery date of 8/2 but that has passed and now shows "delayed pending pickup". Dealer is only 4 hours from the plant so truck shipment only no trains. Has anyone with a 7/18 build week been delivered?

Same boat, mine blended 7/21, modules popped. Ford marketing says it's built, with a delivery date of 8/5-8/12, or maybe 8/23. So who knows.

More of the same here. Blend date 7/18, modules popped and tear tag populated 7/20. Still saying in production with a secondary status of produced. Ford Marketing told me Monday that it was "released to the carrier" on 8/1, but it is supposed to be coming by train to NC. No CSX tracking info.

Same. Blend date 7/19. Marketing says "Produced"....going by rail but no update.....except for the "we will contact you every 45 days" email.....

Hate to see these delays for you guys. I had a 7/20 scheduled date, blended 7/24, shipped 7/25 and is arriving at the dealer this afternoon. Good luck!

Not me but I know @Wolfpack was blended on 7/18 and was delivered already.

Yea, but no rhyme or reason that I can tell. Not sure if it’s a Ford or shipper issue.

That is correct. @Bridgebuilder .7/18 blend date. Then got an email from dealer saying it was on the lot. Skipped shipping status on both trackers.

Mine was built on 7/24 and ford tracking status is still stuck on "Order Confirmed". According to Ford Chat, it shipped out some time early last week and they gave me the rail tracking details.

CSX tracking says "Placed at Industry" in the final destination Dixiana, SC since August 7th. I believe that means it's unloaded and waiting for a truck to take it to the dealer, but not too sure

Yes - Dixiana is where ford unloads nearly all of their vehicles for SC. I'm in Greenville, SC and super jealous, I had a blend date of 7/21 and still stuck at MAP.....

That's very frustrating. Hopefully yours & everyone here gets out soon!

If helpful, here was my shipping timeline of events: Left the plant on 7/29, was stuck in Michigan a few days, and then moved fairly quickly from there. Arrived in Dixiana 8/7. I'll post here once it actually gets to the dealer.

Also - I called Ford marketing as well to check for certificates, private offer, etc. I did not have one (Order date somewhere late April.... cant remember the exact day), and she said the best practice is to call back right before you take delivery to see a certificate has been generated for your VIN. She implied that it was pseudo-random on how they are generated (i'm sure there is some algorithm on that which the customer service reps aren't privy to), so its always a good idea to call and just check to see if you could save a little bit at the end.

My 2023 Bronco Outerbanks was scheduled to be built the week of July 17 and I got a blend date of July 19, I believe the modules populated on the 20th. My online tracker still shows in production so I chatted with Ford online (many times now) and they keep telling me that the secondary status shows that my Bronco is built but the primary is still in production. Multiple times they told me that it would be getting delivered between August 13 and 19 but it has not been shipped yet. I chatted again with them today and now the delivery has been pushed back to September 4th through the 10th, but still hasn't been shipped. I asked if it was a delay due to Ford or shipping and they said its due to shipping... They recommended I call marketing to hopefully get more details but marketing gave me even less information except they recommended that I call my dealership.

Welp - dealer told me today my eta was delayed to 9/1 (was 8/6-8/12).

On a positive note - tracker updated to "Built - 8/10" when I checked this morning.
