It's really easy to go there and use that argument. Most companies would envy a 97% satisfaction rate. Of course it sucks for the other 3%. Many made the choice to be part of that 3% and place the entire blame on Ford for their misfortune, but it really needs to be shared. Dealer claims to be older than dirt, so should know how the relationship with Ford goes or could go. Some have been here long enough to recall there was fallout between that dealer and Ford more than a year ago. None of us really know what transpired but are making a lot of assumptions.So are you saying that the 1% to 3% should not be upset? That they should just forget buying a Bronco and "move on with their lives?" Do you realize that 1% to 3% is between 1900 and 5700 customers? And that many of those customers reserved a Bronco those first two days the reservation site was open?
Wow. That sounds like some science fiction dystopia where the bottom 2% get culled.
Plus, these aren't all Granger customers. The other possibly thousands of culled orders will come from small mom and pop dealers in rural areas who won't stack up well with the new formula.
joined a forum for value and info on the new vehicle and to meet other people to talk about our Broncos. Thatās what this forum used to be and now its washed down with people complaining about every little thing Ford does to āthemā. You have to sift through all the crying to get to a thread thats adds some value. Anywho I hope yāall have fun waiting to get your Broncos in 2 years mine will be delivered next week.
Why be upset over something you canāt change or you canāt control? Anything you do or say will not change what Ford does with the bronco. They are legally backed in every move they make. They never promised a single person a vehicle when we all reserved one. All youāre doing is stressing yourself out for nothing. And. When your bronco comes youāll still buy it and or if you donāt someone else will and Ford still wins because they still sold your bronco.So are you saying that the 1% to 3% should not be upset?

At least we can finally see where your basic misunderstanding comes from. The dealerships promised nothing, Ford is the one that made the promises and dealers and people acted accordingly. It really is that simple.
My anger with Ford revolves around my conversations with them directly. They are giving me information which Mr. Levine has been contradicting publicly. Why wouldn't a customer be angry about that?
That's right, just ask @elmystico! I would like to see you tell him to move on with his life.
I don't understand the point you are trying to make when you say, "Anything you do or say will not change what Ford does with the bronco."
Way to make me start crying.
Sorry, but the point needed to be made. There's no need to be just rude and insensitive to others. I know that I am guilty of it at times, but seriously, we need to me more focused on what can be done to eliminate problems rather than just throwing each other under the bus in some forum flame fest.Way to make me start crying.
But a very valid point.
I have the magnets @elmystico designed on my fridge and get teary sometimes when I see them.
Yet another owner (or soon to be) telling people to quit whining.
Some of us were only trying to be supportive when we questioned how a dealer was going to be able to deliver on so many reservations when many of us were at much larger dealers and they already had more reservations than expected allocations. Many of these people got angry and waived the honesty & transparency flag in everyone's face that questioned how that would work out. Now that it in fact didn't work out, the same group still wants blame everyone else but the dealer that should have realized there was a certain amount of risk being taken. I can't be the only that feels sorry all of the customers that may be waiting a long time for their Bronco. It's just as bad as being forced to pay high ADM, either way you lose.
