wrong. i’m a product engineer at FOMOCO in forward model vehicles, and worked launches. no pumping brakes here, sorry

EDIT: I don’t care if I just joined this forum today, that has zero to do with my knowledge and expertise/experience in tooling new vehicle launches. I read garbage on this website that is just plain FALSE. better off saying nothing than making up lies about things you know nothing about.

Any insight into what part of the PPAP process was not followed with the MIC tops?

Appendix A3 - 100-year, “Black Swan Event” Pandemic Contingency Planning, Section 2.3(b)(ii), Worldwide Government-Mandated Economic Shutdown and Quarantining to “Control the Spread”

Obviously!

Doubt PPAP Cert was met before production. Not uncommon

The playbook is there, too bad Ford calls the Audible and FUBARs the bronco launch.

Everyone shits on @Seatmandan for countering a completely baseless, fear-mongering rumor that is the cancellation of the 2 door Bronco with some relevant experience. No wonder no one from Ford sticks around these forums.

Ford isn’t going to ditch 30% of their orders for no reason especially considering they did spend the money to design and produce (includes tooling) the 2 door.

Actually, he was bashed for the tone he brought. Baseless rumors run rampant around here, we've become used to that and usually move on.

But when someone comes in here giving us attitude, basically telling us we should be grateful for how Ford is handling this, calling us... Shit I forgot... Oh negative Nellie's... Yeah we fire back.

And honestly, Ford should've been in here long before the problems started to occur, not some employee who wants to make an account just to give us grief.

The actions of many on here towards these so called Ford employees is the manifestation of months of let down after let down. And if they decide to come in with a confrontational attitude, they will get dumped on. Is what it is at that point. Goes to show, Know your target audience and adjust accordingly. Don't fight a fire by throwing gas on it!

Come on, now. Be honest… you never need an excuse for firing back.

Well........
In my mind, I always have a good excuse!

But the new and improved me (post 2 bans) is a much nicer Evl

Doesn't bother me. I'm mostly a lurker. I have thick skin. I do not in any way shape or form represent Ford. All I can say is I work in the auto industry, and these last 18 months have been unlike anything I've ever witnessed. I'm a bronco purchaser just like the rest of you folks.

Cancelling 2 doors is a particularly stupid, baseless fear. I took his post to be emphasizing how wrong that fear is. And he isn’t wrong about the Negative Nellies comment. There is so much negativity on this forum and saying “Negative Nellies” is a very nice way of putting it. Did he come in hot? Yeah! But that 2 door cancellation idea is so dumb, I’m okay with approach.

I don’t see anywhere in his posts where he is telling everyone to be grateful for anything. Have some faith that the 2 doors won’t be cancelled. I am a believer.

As I suspected, the guy named Seatmandan is not acting on an official Ford capacity. He decided to give some of his background as to why he knows 2 doors aren’t getting cancelled.

He says that he works for Ford, so all the sudden it’s acceptable for this forum to attack him for pent up frustrations of the company he works. Screw that! If the target audience is people endless bitching about Ford and manifesting doomsday, then this place isn‘t worth a thing. This place needs to be better than that.

Another thing: gatekeeping post count or account creation date as to what kind of content you are allowed to spread or how to say it is moronic. Judge the comments by their content.

7/14 Res, originally a 2 DR Badsquatch with lux/2.7/tow. Switched to a 4 DR soft top badlands, sasquatch, 2.7, lux, tow three days ago after an extended test drive Saturday. Scheduled for week of 9/20. Obviously happy but bittersweet giving up the 2 DR. Question, probably asked earlier.....if the build week does indeed end up being the week of 9/20, how long after "build" before the vehicle will typically be delivered to the dealership? Thanks in advance!!

Depends on your location in the country and what method they use to transport, either rail or convoy (truck).

What VINs are they up to now? Should be in the 90xxx’s. Going to roll over to MLBxxxxx soon. Kinda want a Major League Baseball vin but I’ll be alright.

MLA88 is a 9/13 build, so MLB is very soon

 

[Bronco cat]

Plus consider all the people who caved and switched to the "softy". Just to get built...

Not near enough people switched….. which helped the ones who did get a ‘21. I am one of them. The more I thought about it and after driving a soft top I realized there wasn’t a big enough difference to wait. I’m into instant gratification, or in the case of the bronco super delayed that it feels like a instant gratification. The best part was I added in 2.7 and sas to my mod bumper, lux, tow and it got scheduled within two weeks with dumping the mic.

Well said.

Folks can come to the guys defense all you want. It's unprofessional as hell for a Ford employee to come into a Ford enthusiast forum from the jump and pick fights with members about their dissatisfaction. If was anything but the internet that shit would never happen.

There was a better way.

 

[1975U15]

I would not stick around. No good would come of it. Some people give new meaning to " shoot the messenger".

Shoot messenger...ha! He came in and randomly picked a comment by @OldGrayMare and basically said stop your whining I'm a Ford employee...Ha!
