FAKE NEWS! My VIN is Fake

[WheresMyCar]

Patience is key with this process. It didn’t track for me at first either. My suggestion is to relax. It’s not fake lol.

They use PLEX and PLEX is a POS. Sorry.

Your dealer, like every other dealer can simply look up your order on their computer system. It will show if you have a VIN or not, They can tell you whatever the status is. Fact.

Our vin took a few weeks to work iirc.

Also if you see an EG 2dr Sasquatch driving around Chino/Chino Hills. Probably my wife rofl.

lol I’m in chino and I think I’m the only 4 door hpr in the area.

I am not shitting you. A week before my birthday, I received the "you are scheduled" email. Complete with a VIN. I tried the tracking link, because who wouldn't, and it didn't work (VIN not valid). I gave it a few more days and tried again. On my birthday (yesterday), I called customer service to ask about it. Sorry, we don't know why you got that email. You do NOT have a VIN, you are NOT scheduled for production, and you should call your dealer. WHAT is this cruel joke? Has this happened to anyone else (I seriously hope not) and does anyone have any insight? TIA

Maybe it’s not the most appropriate comment, but Happy Birthday!!

If you have a Vin then you are golden. Just a matter of when it gets built and safely shipped.

I also read somewhere that the site would not be updated until April 1st. And I, like many others, have not gotten the site to reflect my order. Give it a couple more days.

Hopefully you are right. Ford is cruel.

I am pretty sure I have seen it.

We are the only 2dr Eruption Green that I have seen around.

I am usually driving my F250 on 37's. Will wave if I see ya.

Have you tried the backdoor link?

https://www.ford.com/buy/manage.html?reservationId=????????

The ?s will be your reservation number, not your order or VIN

My tracking link in the email only works with the Edge browser from my laptop, didn't like Chrome on my phone at all.

I have no idea what my res number is. Where do I find that? I have order # and dealer code, now a bogus VIN.

Ask your dealer, they should have it.

You would only have a res number if you reserved a Bronco back in 2020/2021 (not sure when the actual date reservations stopped) prior to the order banks opening. If you just went to your dealer and ordered you won't have this number.

I went to the Canadian site using the link provided and it showed a build day of 4/14 (friday) whereas all I knew before was build week of 4/10. Window sticker not released yet.
Contacted Sam at Granger and she confirmed the VIN is real and the build DAY of 4/14.

Now to try the backdoor link and maybe try Edge instead of Chrome, the the Chrome is on a laptop...

Backdoor takes me to the Ford sign in page.
Canadian still says "scheduled to week" but has the date of 4/14.
Window sticker not released.

 

[Greg2060]

My tracking started working today, but just shows it as "order confirmed". It does show the VIN and order number and the build is correct. I'm supposedly scheduled for production next week so fingers crossed it happens.

Great to hear! I will be continuing to check mine for any signs of life! you give us hope!
