Here is update list sorted by Blend date. It's increasingly clear that 1/18 blend is a problematic date. We have 6 that we know of with that blend date and 3 are confirmed on QA hold. I suspect the other three are as well and maybe just haven't been given that status from Ford Chat, Marketing, or their dealer.
As I mentioned in my update yesterday, I was told my Bronco is "waiting to be verified" before being cleared for shipping. I have no idea what that means, but was told it is not on hold and is in fact on schedule. This came from a Ford Marketing person who took a lot of time with me and checked multiple systems. If I have no updates by mid-day then I plan to call back and specifically ask what "waiting to be verified" means. It's possible they are behind with some final check and that is what a lot of us are caught up in.
Thanks for the info.I talked to my buddy at the dealer and he told me that mine is on hold. It doesn't say for quility. He also told me that he talked to his buddy at the plant and he was told that they're short parts... He asked which parts and he said where do I start?! So heres more bad news and i hope hes wrong, but the parts they're missing is supposed to be in the week of March 4th.
Good Luck everyone I hope this isn't the case but i guess well see in the next coming days or week.
Bright side is that He located my bronco and its sitting at the plant.
If parts trickle in while they have builds running down the line, they will give the parts to the builds on the production line to move them out. If there's certain models on hold, they will wait until they have an over abundance of parts to dedicate to those builds. This was exactly what happened in the chip shortage of 2021-2022. Builds running down the line were getting chips and being shipped while builds sitting on a chip hold were continually waiting. I can't tell you if this is exactly what's happening, but being there through that debacle, I learned a lot. They are going to continue running and completing as many builds as possible that are going through the production line currently.
Makes me wonder what status they put on the vehicles back then. My dealer and Ford Marketing both insist it is "produced" and simply awaiting verification before moving to shipping. Several others on our list have been told same thing.
I'm not sure. I think people were informed it was a "chip hold". But that was a BIG known issue, so there was no way to hide it. Hopefully there will be some movement soon. Mine is set to go down the line on 3/8, so hoping for a resolution prior to this, ha!
