This is because there are not enough reservation holders with configurations that are buildable with the available parts/constraints, so the option is slow/stop the line or build Broncos no reservation-holder has ordered while they await the constrained parts necessary to make more reservations buildable. Not much to do with the dealerships, IMO.
That's a very strange reaction by folks. One individual shouldn't grab their ire as if that person holds all the strings and the responsibility. Also to personally attack someone on here has no place.
And the 6/23 builds... basically that week of builds
People/company’s often have two reasons for doing something.... a good reason and the real reason. No doubt that there are some supply chain issues (good reason) but I seriously doubt that they can’t work their way down the reservation list to a buildable order. Of course doing so might mean building and order that is outside the dealership’s allocation and that would piss off the larger dealers who got the bulk of the allocations (real reason). Again, this comes back to keeping their customer happy.
Thank you for the link. I can see how that had affected the production then, but how does that affect the progress going forward since Ford has returned to production and shipping, but not those that have been built during that time. Is it the top? Is the vehicle flooded? Is the chip shortage? To state that it's still due to the flooding doesn't make much sense, but it could be. This is what I believe most of us that have a built Bronco sitting there would like answers to.
well said Zack!
This is good news but it won't last long. With so many on here justGuess what, Ford is on the forum, responding issues. See attached.
@Ford Motor Company you won’t be bored here. Let’s say Ford communication has been non existent since the beginning and hopefully you can help solve that.
We need to hear more about the current issues (leaking roof, honeycomb roof patterns, QC issues…).
We also need to hear more about order scheduling. Why some people like me (hour 1 reservation, #1 allocation at the dealer are waiting for their Bronco to be scheduled while some people with the exact same build but ordered later are driving theirs?) what’s the scheduling look like this month?
Why can’t we get a roof rack on 21MY Sasquatch and what will be different in the 22 to allow roof rack?
I am sure many other questions are still unanswered. Thank you for hopefully bringing some clarity, help and communication to this chaos.
Got that right! With so many on here complaining about silly and stupid stuff or hating just to hate, it probably won't last long. I mean look at the thread a few days ago about folks complaining about having to pay a delivery fee, or those that think they are experts in auto production that probably never make a tinker toy in their life.
So you’re saying Ford is intentionally not building higher-revenue, higher-profit-margin vehicles because the dealers would prefer them to produce barebones, less expensive ones that aren’t pre-sold? Tinfoil hat much? The only way you could even argue that is if you’re implying the dealers and Ford are conspiring to product more vehicles that the dealership can change ADM on and increase their profits. But many dealers are also charging ADM on reserved Broncos, so no.
YES, in the exact same boat with my OB 4-door
Perhaps that’s because their last 2 mass emails were to tell us to stay pumped, and the much anticipated 28 May email, that was supposed to tell everyone their build status instead told us they couldn’t provide a build status to anyone.
Maybe the Broncos build at that time frame were damaged and scrapped. Not to defend ford but starting a new build during the state everything is supply wise is just bad luck. So many fields are having supply issues. I know for what I do, we can't get tattoo needles anymore from the suppliers that we normally order from because of manufacturer issues and when we do get them finally the quality is far worse than acceptable. It's just the way of the world right now
I really do understand your point. What I am saying, we don't know what the real problem is, if it's being addressed, and what the estimated time frame of this to be rectified. Communication, not speculation is all I'm asking for.
