Bronco Build week 4/29

[KMJ]

Just got a call back. They won't escalate a case until 60 days after last correspondence update. Said its a Plant Quality Assurance Issue, that's all they know. Mine pending an update, which tells you nothing. No info on when to expect an update. Sigh. Guy pretty good to deal with though, said he'll keep an eye out for fresh info and will call me every Friday. Worth a try, back to waiting....

To all you folks waiting: Don't give up! My Bronco fits my purpose AND my style better than any vehicle have ever owned. I don't think you will be disappointed...
I am curious to know how @dcmeadows , @BoldNorth , @BMo and @JohnR made out. They may have posted their results already and I missed it.

@BroncoDave24 - - no changes for me yet. My dealer has checked VINview, and I connected with FordChat with results similar to SpacePal. My Status is "pending update." Vehicle is supposedly built and off-site, but no other info. I have not been told of a QA hold for my vehicle.

I may try the 800 number to see if there is any better info. I'm especially curious that I have a tear tag number, but no modules listed in the as-built data site.

I got mine mid-May, about to hit 1,000 miles. Only hiccup was the dealer did not install the hitch. Working with them to have it installed. Loving the Wildtrak so far!

Called the 800 marketing number. Marketing person was very nice, but didn't have much other insight. Last status was expected delivery from 5/15-6/2, and now pending an update.
Vehicle is in production. Secondary status is off-site, which she said is likely upfitter, but I'm not sure which option would drive that. I think brush bars, custom graphics, and ppf went to upfitters. My vehicle is Wildtrak with Hi/Lux. Options were dual tops, tow (dealer install), wheel locks (dealer install), all-weather floor mats, and tube step (I thought this was assembly line, but maybe requires upfit?).

So, unfortunately, no new info, but supposedly not on QA hold. If I knew what was causing the delay, I may be willing to delete it and do aftermarket stuff. Not the end of the world, just an unhealthy combination of excited and impatient

What is the entire 1 800 number? My Bronco is on hold and I'd like to see what I can find out about it.

On Edit: I now see the number was listed on the previous page. I called and spoke to a very nice woman but she had the same information I already had. I asked her if she was using VIN View and she said yes. So she has the same information as your local dealer.

She looks like a winner to me, I'd bet on her! I got the rack on top too, I'll show you mine next week I hope! Let me know if you get an interference with Satellite.

Great! Add another one to the Delivered column. Maybe @Frank556 has an update for us.

no interference at all. I’ve got the OEM rack and only time there’s any Sat/sig issues is under big bridges as expected

I will let you know. Stopped at the dealer today to check her out. They are doing the final cleaning so I can pick up tomorrow.

Depends where you live--and I live in northern Maine with a lower sat view angle- my reception is OK if I am in a wide open area--but any tree cover, hills , or anything blocking the view to the sky and there was 0 sat reception. Once I took the roof rack off it got better but it is no where near as good as my Rubicon which also has the antenna under the hard top--it is bad enough I am thinking of putting an exterior antenna. Lucky we only have leaves on the trees for about 3 1/2 to 4 months-- so I got something to look forward to.
