Thanks. Not intending to derail our thread just looking for education on what's going on. Got some feedback from builds within 1-2wks of mine that still have the tumbling rocks.Mine does not show the rocks becoming the Bronco either. Just blue screen with a bronco outline.
The Rocky Mountainesk scene is on my gauges at start up, the center console touch screen is as you described on start up. Also have the infamous window rattle, found when I googled it to see if it was common and first hit was to a thread on these boards. Besides the window rattle, 3/4 of the way down on the first tank and really loving each drive more and more.Question for those fortunates that have received their Broncos.
When you get in to start up, what graphics do you see on your center screen?
My ā23 Badlands had a little āintroā start-up with rolling/tumbling rocks in some western looking landscape that transformed into a Bronco.
Now my screen only has a blank blue background with an outline of a Bronco in the center; no clever graphic start up video.
Iām curious if my software needs some update or reboot.
Any help? What do you guys see at start-up?
Iām so happy for all of you cruising around in your new Broncos but Iām feeling more despondent as time goes on. Here I am over a month from our build week with no idea what is happening with my vehicle or when it might be arriving.
Does customer service created a case to investigate whatās going on with why my Bronco is tracking to be delivered to a different dealership from the one I ordered it from. They called and left a message that they āescalated the caseā whatever that means. When trying to follow up with the person working the case I got shuffled around so many times on the phone that I gave up after over a half hour of giving the same information to several agents that said they would transfer me to the agent handling the case only to have them transfer me to the general number again.
My salesman at the dealership is no help and he says he canāt find any information as to why my Bronco is stuck in production for a month. Iām so frustrated and disconcerted by Fords customer service that I am considering how I can get my deposit back and take my business elsewhere. Has me considering the new Toyota Land Cruiser.
And I know itās not unusual to have to wait for the Bronco and all itās just that I feel like Iām being given the runaround by all parties involved. And this spring weather isnāt helping as I want to be cruising around with the top off and getting out of the city to hit the trails. Ugh
Ok rant over.
I feel for you. Mine was built on 4/12 and has sat at the factory since. Hasn't shipped or anything, I was getting frustrated and seeing others in our build week get theirs was not helping me. Where I finally hit the wall was when I looked at dealer inventories and saw ones from our build week showing up on the lot. I told my dealer that if mine didn't ship the following week that I would start looking at other options. He understood.Iām so happy for all of you cruising around in your new Broncos but Iām feeling more despondent as time goes on.

I appreciate your advice and feel your frustration. I have been looking around to see whatās available and might end up pulling the trigger on something else. In the end these are first world problems and itās not the end of the world. I just wish there was a lot more transparency than what I am getting from all parties involved. I just want it to make sense.I feel for you. Mine was built on 4/12 and has sat at the factory since.

That was last week and late afternoon on Friday I set up financing with my credit union and started talking to another dealer. They had one on their lot that was nearly identical to what I ordered minus the engine block heater and plus the tube steps which I'll offer up here once my AR Stirrup steps arrive. It's build week was 3/18 with a blend of 3/22. I decided that I could live without the block heater.
I finalized everything on Monday with the other dealer for $4800 under MSRP and I pick it up tomorrow. Now it's a six hour drive for me each way but I have a long history of being willing to go long distances to get what I want and to make a good deal.
In the end my advice would be to look around, comb dealer inventories, there is usually a dealer within a couple hours drive that is doing discounts under MSRP, you just have to find them. The other thing that was noticeable was that another month went by and Ford produced far more units than it sold so that tells me there will start being more showing up on dealer lots.
Best of luck!
