crazy build times?

[keenanbronco1964]

you are

Ugh. I ordered mid December 2021. I’ll likely not get my 2-door OB with lux and tow until 2023 at this rate.

10 mo. behind my order, not including my 1st day reservation. That was July20

Dealer told me around 14 weeks for a '22 mustang GT, hopefully I have better luck than some of you folks.

And dealer told me 28 weeks for a Mustang Mach E GT . . .

acco

according to my dealer just the $100 for the reservation does not put you in line you have to order a specific model.

I have an order for a specific model-a Basesquatch. It has scheduled for production the week of Jan 17 and I have a window sticker. That's as far as it got- now it's on hold with everybody else's as well.

Okay so how does 14 weeks compare to 53 weeks?

Is it just me or is anyone else getting tired of being bumped for their build dates? My build date has been extended now twice , from Dec 18th 2021 to Feb 22nd 2022 to now April 22nd2022. I find it disturbing that there are new Broncos on the lot for sale and the one I have reserved since the first day, and ordered 13 months ago is not here. Has anyone reported this to their respective states? Seems wrong ...

Try ordering your same build from a different dealership.

Ha . . . yeah, I see the point, Bronco wins the wait game hands down.

 

[andrusoid]

that is what

that is what they said so I modified the order to alleviate that, changed models had to switch colors dropped some options. After that they said it should be first of the 22 year... thats not happening

Well, we're only two months in, so stiff upper lip and all that.

It's mostly you ... it is possible to have a first day reservation, but wasn't there a generic first order date for anyone who reserved prior to that date?
January 19, 2021 rings a bell.

Even if you "ordered" before that date or on that date, your order date is the same as everyone else similarly situated. I reserved, August 23, 2020. If you re-ordered in a timely manner in 2021, you and I have the same order date.

Respectfully ... take some time and educate yourself on the issues: Ford's policy of only 50% of production addressing reservations. Allocations, dealer and regional. Constraints. 7,000 vehicles on "chip hold", not "chip shortage" on Ice Mountain(s). There are folks who have had their build date moved multiples of yours. You do yourself no favors by imaging you have been wronged to an extraordinary degree, certainly when compared to many others on here.

If you watch some of the "build week" threads, it appears many of the late build weeks are being moved in ... I suspect Ford put in a conservative late date until they got a better handle on actual chip replacement timing and are now moving many in on a case by case basis as their information firms up.

Actually the way this was supposed to work, from the beggining to end was they were supposed to be delivered starting with the first RESERVATION then running down the line from there, when your order went in wasn't what it was supposed to be based on. Educate yourself.

Would you rather have it partially built and sit in a parking lot for several months waiting even longer for the rest of it's parts? That's the alternative to just waiting.

You're welcome to join the club. Dirt Mt., Ice Mt. I'm sure there will be another wave before too long. Count yourself "lucky" if you only have to wait for one 'build' date.

I think yesterday was my 1 year anniversary for my res date. So, I can officially start "bitchin". Sweet!!

13 months for me on my order date going crazy I would like to use my Bronco for vacation this year missed out all of last year and took a trip out to the south west in my wife's edge last summer and wanted to have my Bronco for Moab. Getting frustrated!

I realize I might be interpreted as a bit chirpy, apologies for that .. I was referring to all the issues around allocation, etc that the poster I was responding to didn't seem to be aware of.

Went to my dealer to check on the order and look around the lot. I think this is my last Ford product, nobody seems to know what is going on, and in general seem to have given up, not that I can blame them.

The only thing worse than giving Ford a free loan for an unknown length of time is sitting around telling customers you have no cars to sell. Regret is setting in.
