I get the factory literally walks through the holding lots installing chip modules when that’s a constraint but how do they finish Broncos that may need a new rear axle or a component in the third member?
Do they run them back down a production line in batches or is there a shop where they...
So now that we have DirtMountain 3.0 (maybe 4.0 as I’ve lost count) @Ford , what was the average wait time after blend date before those of you stuck there got shipped? Seemed it ranged between two and four months with some 6 months plus. Just trying to get a sense of what those of us in...
Hey gang, long time!
Remember way back in August 2021 when we all found out our builds were stuck in DirtMountain and that as an apology Ford Canada was giving us all $500 to be used towards accessories/parts/service?
Looked a little something like this:
Well, turns out Ford Canada (I've...
...a minute, I was excited. The next minute I thought about crazy hail storms while in transit, truck drivers running into low bridges…and dirtmountain. That said, I had a few questions for the crowd.
1. Are all broncos getting stuck on dirtmountain?
2. Is the issue the chip shortage?
3. How...
I'm posting this challenge to @Ford Motor Company
We are now in a race. My Bronco was blended on 1/14. 4/25 was the 90 day extended EDD that you provided me. 4 days after that deadline passed my 73 year old dad left Washington DC on his mountain bike and is pedaling his way to Seattle. He...
I want to give all my BRONCO 6G mates a hopeful message of encouragement as we all wait patiently for our FORD BRONCOS .............
Climb Every DirtMountain ...... FORD every stream ........ Follow Every Rainbow......Til you find your dream..........
As a first day reservation holder it would make me feel better to drive a Bronco that has been sitting in the elements from January until August or maybe later if Ford takes care of us by extending a factory warranty for 2 or more years.
Look at my progression:
And finally:
It appears starting with the 4/4 build week that all (most? some?) blends past an original blend date of 4/5 are getting parked at Mud Mountain. Where are our friendly drone operator/driveby members?
Most builds are getting a status of "In Production", secondary status "Produced", and an ETA of...
From my understanding the Broncos on x mountain are waiting on microchips. Are these particular microchips for a particular feature?
I have a order I'm waiting on to even be scheduled at this point (ordered 2/11/22). It's a mid package Big Bend which I know doesn't have any build constraints...
Just for fun, for visibility, and out of curiosity, who's got the oldest unshipped Bronco?
For example, ours was scheduled for build week 11/29, blend date was 12/02, and went into production 12/03 but has not reached "built" status. I know @ChefAlan86 (from my build week) is in the same boat...
Good Morning Everyone,
For those of you that had a stay at DirtMountain motor lodge....
Did you still get an "end of production" photo when it rolled off the line?
How many miles did your Bronco rack up before you got it?
Did you get email changes about production or did it seem to just...
So my Bronco was built the week of January 24th. Right as the chip shortage peaked again. Any clue how long models sit before getting finished? How long were people waiting last summer?
First it was DirtMountain. Now we have Ice Mountain. What will be the next form of Mother Nature surrounding thousands of undelivered Broncos as we end Winter and move into Spring???
Before anyone goes off...I am a licensed drone pilot and all FAA regulations were followed during these flights.
DirtMountain August 17, 2021.
Ice Mountain February 6, 2022. (My apologies for the low quality pic, forgot my SD card so these are the cached images)
This is from another...
...will have to figure out our one-vehicle situation for a few months.
My question to Ford is if you have 1000's of Bronco's sitting on dirtmountain waiting on a chip. Specifically, chips that may not affect the usability or safety requirements, why not come up with a plan to deliver the...
