6/30 blend dates

[Papa Smurf]

I believe for the most of us it's not the waiting that is frustrating. It's the not knowing the why. Just a little communication from Ford(corporate and our dealer) would go along way. We can handle the truth! As for the dealers out there saying they are in the dark like us, I have doubt. If they want to please the customer they would try a little harder to get the facts. They have a better line of communication than us the consumer\customer.

My dealer thankfully has been helpful and has reached out to get answers. The Zone Manager and the Ordering Team had nothing to add. This is really starting to make me feel like a mushroom- being kept in the dark and fed shit.

we may have a better line of communication, but that doesn’t mean that Ford will tell us anything.

A better line of communication is exactly what that means.

For those of us in 6/30 Blend Date Purgatory, may our BUILT EMAILS light up the internet tonight!!!

There wasn’t exactly a flood of BUILT EMAILS last night was there?

I'm holding out hope that it's just a logistics thing. My build was pulled ahead before the shutdown. It's possible the vehicles my bronco was to ship with are being built this week. Checking vehicle visibility, there's nothing noting a stop ship for my VIN.

Confirmed from another thread, 7/12 Blend with Rotation number of #3329 has recieved a Built email with expected delivery window.

Are we sure 6/30 folk aren't collectively experiencing a major QC issue or something wild like that?

I have both. Odd they would be added after the fact?!

Thought so, I have both as well.

I've got also got both! This seems like a reasonable enough explanation.

I'd love to go through all of the confirmed built and shipped emails vs in-production purgatory to see if I can piece together what's different, but I still need to be gainfully employed to buy my Bronco whenever it gets here.

mine was in production 6/22, got built email 6/29 and shipped email 7/1 have not gotten any meaningful feedback from dealer. He said excited cant wait for it arrive, but when texted to see if they had any visibility on where it is at the moment..no response. On another thread have seen some have success, dealers have been able to give rail car, pinpoint where vehicle is in the journey

I much rather have gone 5 more weeks without a build date than to know my Bronco has been built and sitting idle for 2 weeks.

I'm. Over. It.

This just fits the script of this whole rollout.
Mic top problems could be why the delay is happening or it could be that ford got chips for tons of f150’s that were in storage all over the place and are trying to play catch up with shipping. Or it could be reason three. We are in Dante’s 8th circle of hell.
I vote 3.

The biggest issue that I see with this is how many orders are sitting at "Produced". If this was truly a shipping issue, the status would have been updated to "Awaiting Shipment". This morning, I jumped on Vehicle Visibility and saw that one of our Rangers just updated. This Ranger was built on 7/1 and sat in "Produced" up until this morning when 3 new status updates magically showed up. It was "Released to Body Company" on 7/11 (strange because that is a Sunday), it then "Returned from Body Company" on 7/12 and was then "Released, Awaiting Shipment" on the same day. This timeline could give us some insight into what is happening with our Broncos. Maybe they are having serious QC issues with the tops, maybe it's body panels, maybe it is something more serious. The fact is that they delay is status updates is abnormal from what I have seen, and it is about time that Ford gave us some indication of what is happening with our built orders.

Glad to see you finally come to our defense! Hehe

That's good gouge, thanks AJ.
