Aonarch’s 2023 Bronco Build

[Aonarch]

Wait-what? You bent your frame?

lol no.

Just shitty door alignment from the factory that finally sagged enough to cause issues.

My passenger door has been a PITA to close since day 1.

I am dropping it off tomorrow at my local dealer.

Update:

I dropped my Bronco off two weeks ago to my local Ford dealership.

I hadn't heard anything from them so I called them first thing this morning. A few hours later I get a call from the body shop manager telling me it will be $1300 to fix the issue....

WHAT?

He said he was waiting on me to approve the quote.

First of all, no one had given me a single update, let alone telling me that they were sending it to the body shop for an estimate.

He said the door was over-extended and that the hinge was bent.

I told him that I've had issues since day 1 with the doors, and over the past few weeks the driver's door has been harder and harder to operate. The door has never been over-extended.

He didn't disagree with me that could be the problem, but still said that will be $1300...

I just left a VM with my absent service advisor to figure out what is going on.

Ridiculous that I would have to pay to fix the factory's screw up.

I'm on the phone with Ford Customer Service now.

EDIT: Ford Customer Service said it was denied for a warranty repair.

They are seeing what financial assistance they can provide me.

Further edit: Ford Motor Company will pay $950 of the repair.

Pretty wild I have to pay anything in the first place... If they just warrantied it, it would cost Ford less money.

Update:
The dealer is worthless and never once spoke to me.

I picked the Bronco up tonight and will go to a different dealer.
