I don't think its a new shortage, just a continuation. The chips are not being manufactured as quickly as predicted.

More chip shortages to come. Germany, one of the other larger chip manufacturer, needs specialized gases to make semi-conductor chips that usually is supplied from Ukraine... All German car manufacturers have decrease expectations on auto production...

IDK, I personally would rather not have my brand new bronco produced sitting in a lot in the sun and rain waiting for a chip

Dang after reading this I will no longer even think of complaining about my situation (In prod for my MY22 since 1/18). May the force be with you brother.

Day 1 reservation, converted it myself at my dealership on the first day. It was the last to get pulled for 2021 and has been on I guess spring mountain now waiting on chips since 12/6/22. Supposedly all 2021's were to be shipped by 3/31/22 but mine still says awaiting shipment, and every way I know of searching gives me nothing.

Well, yeah... but its not like they asked us before they did it. And at this point if we refuse delivery we are waiting 12-18 months to get back to this point.
Perhaps they can bring back the Model T as well. =)
Son I been in production since mid January and I don't know the hell is going on . I don't where my bronco is. Ford doesn't tell me anything , my dealer doesn't tell me anything , I spoken to god and he doesn't even tell me anything . Im flying in the dark

I'm lucky in that I converted a 7/21 reservation to an order in 12/21, and am part of the 3/21/22 build week, so take this with a grain of salt. I'm expecting a child in October, and it's been fun (to me, likely not her) to give her the updates on the Bronco as she gives me the updates on our baby. It's fun and exciting to get updates when things are progessing (and I was delayed in my build week by a week). It's fun learning the rail car routes and how convoys work. Again, I get that I'm lucky with my place in line, but what this tells me is that if things were going smoothly, it would be a lot of fun for everyone to be able to track their vehicle.No problem...But while you contact CS...try to figure out what step your Bronco is in, why it hasn't moved to the next step...what it holding it up, why you can't find an answer to your questions...wondering when it will move on some tracker, etc..., I will be enjoying my days and when I get a call from my salesperson to come get my Bronco, I will. Any additional emails from Ford to try to keep me updated is just gravy on top.
Also, Ford allows the tracking for a reason. It likely increases their bottom line by stopping those on the cusp from going elsewhere. They are a capitalist company, of course.

There were more than 5k Broncos in the 3/21/22 build week. Of those that participated in the spreadsheet, 72% were MIC. Limited numbers were in the spreadsheet compared to the total builds, but it seems clear that the MIC constraint is not at 300 tops/week.ThisNobody is saying anything about the MIC tops lately! Unless they have made huge production gains on the tops there is going to be big differences. When they produce 1k or so Broncos a week but only 250 or 300 tops, that’s probably the biggest issue. Yet you never hear anything about the top production anymore. I wonder why
Webasto opened a second plant in MI. I don’t think anyone really knows if it even still is a constraint.This
Mine was in production since Jan. 14 as well and I got moved to
“shipped to dealer “ three days ago. Hopefully you aren’t far behind.
Ford wouldn’t be
Ford would not be in this position if they had not made the decision to rely on a seven thousand mile long supply chain to save a buck by using third world country cheap labor for critical components. Ford is estimated to lose one million units of production this year due to parts shortages. They owes their customers timely information and if they can’t deliver what they are selling they should say so. Maybe all the automakers will learn from this and build their parts here but with corporate Americas race to the bottom I doubt it.
