Bronco production update 8/3: More downtime expected weeks of 8/16 and/or 8/23

[SVTLightning]

Here are some facts:
1. I was scheduled originally to be built on 7/19.

2. Most of the FEs being built next week were scheduled AFTER my Bronco was already on the schedule.

3. They have the commodities to build my Bronco because it is all the same parts as an FE without the stickers.

Why even schedule my build? Why make a commitment to build my Bronco in July then pull new unscheduled Broncos into the schedule with the same commodities and bump mine? How is this reasonable? I get most are FEs but what exactly is that saying? They're not sure they can build mine and all of the FEs so they're bumping me until they're sure???

Such is life I guess. I’m pushed almost 4 months now. Also a Badlands but 2.3 with 7mt.

My 2.7 OB w ht just got pushed back to the week of 9/27. Originally 7/26, then 8/23, then 8/30 and here we are now. Such is life…

I posted earlier in this thread that I didn’t think they were shutting down the week of August 23 because at the start of this thread and for the next two weeks my build week of the 23rd was holding until a couple of minutes ago when I received my third bump email. Now it’s September 13. I’m a pretty patient person but I’m ready to loose it.

I received my 5th bump email yesterday bumping me from 8/23 to 8/30. NOW THE 6TH has arrived and pushed me to 9/20. I wasn't worked up, but am now. Total BS by Ford can't get their crap together. May be ordering an F150 and walking away from all the Bronco problems

7/1 email -- Production week of August 16th
7/31 email -- Production moved to week of August 23rd
8/6 email -- Production moved to week of August 30th
8/7 email -- Production moved to week of September 20th

Apparently they had an epiphany on the 7th! Oh well, they've got 6 weeks to delay it even further.

It's sad, this country once had an amazing industrial complex. Now everything is outsourced, aircraft manufacturers design jets to crash, auto manufacturers don't realize they need to order (functional/operational) parts to assemble vehicles, and the list goes on. What a turd we're handing to the next generation.

In the same boat and ticked this time. May be time to walk away as the delivered Broncos have had enough problems as well.

@PREMiERdrum I think you may have understated the expectation of the August schedule getting blown up... It's disintegrated. People getting pushed like a whole month and shit. People getting 2 push-back emails in 2 days. I can't see how Ford doesn't have an official announcement at this point. This HAS so stop...

Yeah, Ford needs to hire Premierdrum as their disaster control PR guy.. This is getting insane. One or two straight up stories would calm my nerves. Non-informational emails, random date bumps and well documented hardtop issues are starting to get irritating

As long as we stay pumped.

Give me a break....be one of us first night reservation holders who've not heard a word yet from Ford. You are a lottery winner, don't forget that.

You tell him haha

Man I totally get the frustration. Ford has done shit the bed on this thing...
What gets me there seems to be no clear cut plan to get a lot of us that were built weeks ago out of production purgatory. These are built rigs that Ford has already paid for
Just sitting in some lot.
what’s the plan Ford? Some fu$kin communication would be nice...

My dealer has had zero orders pulled yet as of yesterday to build, and several are First Editions. You are light years ahead of 95% of us as far as getting your bronco lol, light years. Be thankful.

The dealership I got mine from has only gotten mine they still don't have dates on any of the other orders placed
