July 2022 Waiting Room

[KatieF34]

That's really nice your dealer is pushing a bit! I'm getting a lot "be patient - people are waiting longer than you". But, never would I have expected that when I ordered a BS with only one add-on, I'd be sitting here 6 months later and still not shipped.

Keep us posted on what you hear back!

Yeah we ordered our BL on January 26th, and we knew it would be a long wait, fortunately, my fiance has a car that's in decent shape but it's just aging and it was time to upgrade. So we aren't in a huge rush but her Birthday was on July 29th so she was kinda hoping she might get it on that weekend, but it was not to be lol.

Unfortunately it is on the move again. I’m hoping it is the 10 miles to the dealer, but it’s been a bit too long for that trip.

Maybe I missed some info, the GPS location is not updating? Or maybe it requires someone in the vehicle to allow it to update.. or the car must be turned on.

I know my car’s gps only update at the last stopped turned off location. So if the car was loaded on a train at a location, and the app will only show where the car was driven on to a train and not where the rail car is.

I called Ford yesterday and was told no updated info. Then was asked to call back by Friday if no new info and they will try to chase down the car. Friday 8/5 marks the 1 month + into production date on the Ford app.

Ford was going to look into it more on Friday? Wow... that's great too!

My dealer is trying to get an update from the regional Ford Rep so he can try to get an updated ETA. Our order went from "in production" to "awaiting update" on his system. So hopefully I'll get a reply today and I'll have an update. I would suggest you have your dealer start pushing on Ford a bit at least to get a better idea of where in the process your Bronco is.

I hope you can get an update mine has been pending update for a week now.

I'll definitely let everyone know what they tell me. Mine went into production on 6/30 haven't had an update since then, so it's anyone's guess as to what's going on with it.

My dealer says should be here in a few days, Ford tracking says in production as of July 4/22, but visibility report shows built and shipped. Obviously Ford can’t update their site properly

Got a look at my VVR from the dealer - they said they haven't gotten any other information at all and are confused as well....

hopefully none of our missing cars were on these trains that derailed.

The GPS is faulty and will be until I can play around with settings in the vehicle, until then the default address listed will be the factory. There is an arrow at the top of the page which says when it was “Last Updated.” I can pull down on that screen and it will change to “Updated just now” and I can lock and unlock the doors. Then there are periods where that changes to one hour ago, 3 hours ago, yesterday at (time), July 11 at (time). When it is in that state I can’t lock/unlock the doors. I posted earlier a FordPass web page that states it will not update while in motion (not just being driven, in motion at all).

July 11-activated and showed 7 miles on odometer (address and map at the factory)
July 12-stopped updating
July 23-updated still showing 7 miles on the odometer (address showing factory, map showing Midwest)
July 24-stopped updating
July 28-updated odometer changed to 9 miles (different address but at factory train yard, map still showing Midwest)
July 29-stopped updating
July 31-updated, still 9 miles on odometer, address and map the same.
August 2-stopped updating

I check it a gazillion times a day, so that info is very accurate. Also interesting, tire pressure changes like crazy in each individual tire. Pic below is from last Thursday.

Same here mine was built 7/1 no update since! This is driving me crazy just want an update!

yes! I keep saying it - but give me some kind of an update. Is it missing a chip? Did it not pass quality control? Is it waiting for a train to pick it up? ... I really don't care because i can't control any of it. But, I just want to know!!

Ford has told me nothing is holding mine up so shouldn't be missing anything!

Same info, different day “No missing parts, no quality control issues, it’s produced, your tracker will update once it’s shipped.”

I’ve been hearing the same thing since it went into production.

The more I (over) think about it, the mileage only changed the two times the location address updated (factory and then rail yard). That makes me think it has been on a rail car since the last odometer change (7/29) and only becomes active when the rail car stops (probably at junctions dropping off or picking up other cars or switching tracks). I don’t think the location will update again until the car is driven again.

If that’s the case, and we follow the timeline from another owner’s pic below, we can each estimate when our vehicles will arrive. Keep in mind, it’s still just a crapshoot at this point. (Ignore the Guadalajara comment I just deleted if you read it, my Spanish is limited, and there is apparently a Ferrocarril Mexicano-Mexican Railway-in Nogales, too)
