Glad it worked out for you. I figured it was the beginning on a bad story and they kept the Bronco for weeks.

I just knew it was going to get parked again and not seen for a while! I really feel fortunate for the ones who have worked to get it back to me a week later.

Congrats on the Bronco, it looks like they kept their word. 👍
You sure got your money's worth for the $1,495 transportation fee.😜

This passed Friday, I had my Outer Banks Cyber Orange Bronco snatched from my fingers! It also ripped my heart out. I got a video of it being taken off the car carrier, I touched it, I sat in it, I was ecstatic and couldn't believe it was here! I had to go back to work then so my dealership told me they were going to clean her up and start the paperwork and they would call me to let me know when to come back for it.

Less than two hours later I get a text message from my saleslady all upset. Matter of fact, everyone at that dealership was upset. Michigan said they needed the Bronco back. My dealership said they have never had this happen before and they wouldn't give it up without a fight. After a few hours, I get told the girl had to go back to Michigan, with no explanation. Luckily, it was put on a truck by the afternoon, because I truly thought it would sit there for days before heading back.

I am told it will come back by the end of this week some time. I was assured it would because Michigan put it in an email saying so. I told my saleslady, "so you believe the BS they fed you?"

I will say, my dealership came through to help me out since I had sold my car the same day, they gave me a brand new car for a loaner until my girl shows back up. I changed her name from Elka Rose Nivens, to now Elka 'Circle Back' Rose!

My head is holding high! The stress just about did me in that day, but my saleslady calmed me back down and has done a tremendous job taking care of me.

The 1/17/22 group was basically the only ones that knew about this, but just decided to see if anyone else had this happen!

Well I've heard of recalls before... but never the whole car getting recalled back!

No! Even the finance lady asked me if I learned anything! Lol

Dang, I mean they have a let Broncos to go through with mismatched seats, missing headliners, tops with different colors, pieces falling off....and yet they pulled yours all the way back.... And whatever they did, must have been a minor thing because Ford can't do anything in a week!

Maybe you should name your Bronco " Mystery"

Sorry, but I’m gonna call BS on the dealer's "I don’t know why.!" The dealer could find out. It was obviously something simple to check or repair AND it was something Ford Motor Company had zero faith/trust in the dealer to make it right. IMHO.! 😀

Glad you got it back! I've never seen or heard anything of this happening before. My guess is someone on the line didn't perform some sort of safety test and the Bronco got shipped without the required QA. Seems it was a reasonably quick turn around, which is great. I couldn't imagine waiting another 3-6 months...

Glad to hear you got it back and cheers to all the "chicken littles" who thought the sky was falling and it was all a lie so the dealer could sell it. I still think it was something small but embarrassing to Ford and that's why it was sent back and returned so quickly.

They didn't want "what it was" to be public... A monkey wrench was left behind.

Having proposed “Runaway Bride” I like “Boomerang Betty.” Lends itself to some sort of window sticker featuring a boomerang of all things. Glad you got her back.
