For those members defending Ford on this thread, and in particular those who have an understanding of production line management, I appreciate the feedback. And believe me, even us less knowledgeable on the ins and outs of auto manufacturing can understand the global constraint issues. But for the Ford Bronco production in 2022, the chip shortages have been isolated to a few weeks at worst in Jan and April and then complete vehicles have come off the line and been delivered to happy customers. Ford has chosen this method of production which largely ignores the customers put out to pasture.
The lack of communication is the compounding factor. It’s been stated here that Ford focuses on manufacturing and dealers should do the communicating. But the dealers know f&ck all because Ford doesnt tell them anything. Yet Ford still refers us to our dealers. It’s insulting. There is no network set up for this and that is a failure on Ford’s part. We’re 5 months into this latest fiasco called the Bronco rollout. Ford can do better and should be able to by now. I suspect they dont because they fear any transparency will bring negative feedback. If they had been honest from the front, they would have lost much less goodwill, IMO.
The latest push out of EDD is arbitrary, and I suspect most of us will still be waiting come
August. To me, it’s Ford admitting it does not know when we’ll get our orders without officially saying it. Based on history, it’s likely the only communication we’ll get, which is sad.
