Pick the Bronco yesterday, what a beauty :) but....

My complaints or dislikes in this 10 miles I have drove:

- Doors wont shut with a normal push, it needs to be pushed harder, this is true for most doors. I used to work in Ford and this was one of the quality gates on all vehicles before final release.
- Engine feels a little bit rough, maybe it needs to settle??
- Gaps, this thing got big panel gaps all around, including the tailgate.

At this point all my excitement is gone. Still stuck in-production and nobody has any clear answers as to why. Thanks Ford!
Everyone I talk to gives me one of two answers:
1. "You have a MIC, yes, it must be the MIC" (it might be but that answer doesn't exude confidence)
2. "Talk to you dealer". (my dealer [most dealers] are as clueless as me)

Any movement from the stuck “in production” group?
Nope. Been waiting for a call from a supervisor from the bronco support line for almost 2 weeks now. Lady I spoke to Friday sounded pretty upset that no one has reached out to me yet and put an additional request so we'll see monday what comes of it... Dealer doesn't seem hard pressed to try to get answers for me or the zone rep for that matter. Lady from Friday also said that the zone rep should be able to contact the plant directly and speak to someone there which just adds to the frustration that they don't seem to want answers...

I haven't been able to keep up with all of the thread details but could the 2.7 be a common denominator for a lot of the stuck in production builds? If there is an issue with some of the 2.7s is it possible Ford was able to identify then and hold builds with a potential issue back. Sorry if this was already discussed.

I worried about my 2.7 a little but nothing to do but drive it and see what happens at this point. Hoping some of the issues are anomalies and not as widespread as some speculate.

Just chiming in, another nope here.
It was released (for a second time) from the plant about 2 weeks ago, but got sucked back into the plant on Saturday. Went from "built" to "In Production" as of Saturday, October 30th.
My Bronco is scared to leave the stable and no one can coax it out. :rolleyes:

At least take some small solace in the fact that it's being moved around. It's beyond sad those are little victories to acknowledge but I feel like mine is all but forgotten
