My First Edition Bronco Finally Arrived....DAMAGED! 😤

[Taco_Sexual]

I assume the answer is "no" but I wonder if there's a route for getting compensation from the shipping company. With this being a FE there may be a case to make around this being a collector's item?

Let them fix it and discount the "delivery" charge below invoice AND set you up for a Raptor at MRSP. Then you can sell the FE to make the Raptor price better.
Ask for district rep to be involved.

This whole bronco launch has given me anxiety mine is due to be built week of nov 22 and delivered sometime in December and got to pray to the bronco gods it dose t get fucked up in the process.

I wouldn’t want a body shop fixing that how would they fix the frame peice that’s bent .seems like it could be pricey and would def suck if they fixed it using bondo. Lol your prob going to wait a long time for a new hard top too. If anything someone should gather all the damaged delivered broncos and send the pics to mike Levine Twitter . Ford should Be made aware of there product arriving damaged

After waiting very patiently for months, years - I finally got the call the my FE Bronco arrived. BUT, my rep said, it was damaged. Basically, the windshield frame, windshield and front portion of the roof were all damaged. Probably rode on the bottom level during transport. Maybe the car above was bouncing up and down, maybe it was mine. Maybe the driver drove it a little too far when loading it? I don't know but I am VERY DISAPPOINTED. I don't mind the windshield or even the top being replaced, since that's easy enough but the damage to the windshield frame is really depressing.

The three options my dealer gave me:

1. We'll fix it and you can buy it - Unclear what the vehicle history will be and quite honestly it doesn't feel like the new car feeling I was hoping for. I'll also need to sign a disclosure doc since the damage exceeded a certain % of MSRP.
2. Walk away - I'm sure the dealer would love this one.
3. Take a replacement F-150 Raptor - Not even close for an alternative. Apparently, they can't build anymore FE Bronco's (maybe true?), but not even offering me a Bronco replacement, just an F150. I confirmed w/ the dealer that they meant F150 and not the Bronco Raptor.

Ford needs to fix these delivery issues and take better care of these vehicles.

Nothing will show up on vehicle history. Mine arrived with hood damage. They had to sand blast it, pop some dents out and repaint it. I can't tell the difference. There is nothing on the vehicle history for my car.

I would be so pissed! Ugh! It’s an FE!

I have to laugh when everyone gets wound up thinking this is somehow a Ford or Bronco issue. ALL makes and models get dinged and dented in transit. Unless you're in the biz you just assume all are delivered gently into the showroom by the stork in pristine form. You dont hear about it because the activity level on the Toyota Corolla forum is lower than B6G.

Fix it!

1500 Delivery fee for this crap to happen...

$1500!!!
$2000 to ship to Ontario 5 hours away. I would certainly drive there to pick mine up to avoid this considering mine was built week of July 20 and haven't heard a thing from Ford on where it is.

Ford needs to fix these delivery issues and take better care of these vehicles.

1. Have them fix it.
2. Bargain for a discount but definitely buy it.
3. Keep it till the rework of the Bronco (2025?)
4. Reserve the new model
5. Sell the FE and buy the new model

If they offered me a f150 raptor at the same price with no adm I would take that in a heart beat. I’ve sat in a few bronco and driven a few raptors and I know the bronco is too small for my family needs

Good point. Also, is it a NEW F-150 Raptor? The MSRP on those is higher than that of a FE Bronco. Is it an even trade, or do they expect you to kick in cash?

These usually get fixed after they are unloaded in the train yard. Before the trucks pick them up for the dealerships.

Problem with this is the PR event as they watch the deliveries.

You can't imagine how many brand new cars are damaged before they're sold.

From train or truck this stuff happened. Most of the time the consumer never knows nor finds out about it.

They know. The dealer has to file a claim with ford when cars show up with damage. Happens way more than most people realize but usually it’s something stupid like a scratch or stone chip from being on the carrier on the highway

If you don't take the Raptor, you're crazy! The Bronco is very cool. I got mine August 2, Base Sasquatch 2.7L hardtop. Essentially the same vehicle as your FE sans sway bar disco. IMO, the FE was over priced with bells and whistles. A new F-150 Raptor in on an entirely different level. Way more power, much bigger and better everything. I'm not a pickup guy, but I'd take that trade ANY day! If they will do MSRP, get it with the optional 37 inch tire package and you'll have the coolest truck around. FE is nothing special. Raptor of any ilk is better.
