THE my Bronco production build date has been DELAYED / MOVED BACK thread

[Carolina Jim]

My purchase will include an extended warranty…

Mine too. I wonder if the Ford folks who sell those are actually causing these problems to boost sales

I’m in software delivery so I know how getting things off the ground work. My purchase will include an extended warranty…

Yeah, I'm in the middle of launching a new module in our ERP system. It is taking waaaay too long and there are some many moving pieces.

Bronco help line was useless. He said, " I see you ordered your bronco on oct 3, 2021..."
umm no...October 3rd hasnt happened yet. in the us, 3/10 is march 3rd not october 10th.
Had to call the dealer and he confirmed they moved my date to 7/12 on 6/12, although i havent seen an. email update yet.

You didn't get an email? Then how did you know that your build date has changed??

I emailed the dealer and they told me via email.

Many of us aren't getting emails. We have to do our own leg work.

It's worth stating that hiccups like this are very normal for a new vehicle launch. Trying to launch a new vehicle smack in the middle of a global pandemic that has disrupted the entire materials trade, shipping routes, and supply chain services just magnify the heck out of them. Even the Webasto issues would have been much easier to identify and correct in more "normal" times.

We'll get our trucks and I have full faith that MAP will deliver their typical sterling build quality.

We know too much at this point, and that can be a blessing and a curse.

Worth stating that even if delays are understandable, Ford corporate, who sent the first build week email, should send any changes or postponement updates and not have us rely on dealers to tell us. Mine won’t.

Neither will mine, just sold my GTI to Carvana banking on my original 6/28 build week date, but I have no clue if it’s gotten bumped

Agreed. Had some of these issues been fully understood prior to the first scheduling emails going out, I'm certain their communications strategy would have been completely different.

I have read that 2 door production got pushed back so I checked with my dealer today and unfortunately my 2 door badlands has taken a big slide.

Originally scheduled for 6/7. Then pushed back to 6/28 (got a ford update email for this). Checked a few weeks after with my dealer and my date was now 6/21!

Welp. Checked today to see if there was a window sticker or an update and now mine is scheduled for 7/16!!!!!!!!!! DAMN.

Lol, funny hearing all the people who got vins and told those of us without them to stop complaining, now complain.

Call the number in my sig and have your VIN ready. It takes 5 minutes to be updated. But more than likely you won't like the results.

7/16 isn't a Monday. Maybe that one is final!

Not really ideal that its a Friday though LOL

 

[Broncola]

Wish Ford would just update the vin tracker to provide tracking. I’m sure there’s a lot of people tired of getting unnecessary phone calls and emails.

IKR.

My guess is maybe the trailer tow package pushed you back?? But makes 0 sense because you were already scheduled but lucky you have a build date!!
