Meh...I am sure there may be things surfacing as time goes on, but I'll be honest, it reads like this reporter scoured the bronco sport forum, cherry picked two user reports and wrote it up as though 500,000 units are experiencing these issues.
I am aware gremlins are happening. I am aware a handful of moonroof had issues. But for the most part, knock on wood, mine has been a gem. I've been very lucky. Just based on the number of members on this board if twenty have an issue that's 1% of the vehicles.

Same reporter publishes articles saying Renegade and Compass are better than Bronco Sport ect. Basically click bait article with no real substance behind it.

Oh don't get me wrong, I am adamantly a sunshine bronco sport guy...and I equally admit anything with this many parts, high stress high mechanical high electronic cpu things happenings crap gonna happen. And the same will be said for every other vehicle any time any where. This is just a hack piece. Wife has a compass. It's NOT bronco sport worthy. I'd bet my title on it.

Congrats to you! However, I'm freakin pissed as my BS sits in a parking lot. Built on 6/4 with delivery still 10/31

SK, I'm "pissed" for you and can't understand why they just don't ship it to the dealership with the chips or missing component... if it is installable by the dealer. I could only hope that FMC could extend some customer "goodwill" and offer some freebies for your customer experience!

 

[BAOKIE]

palsapp.com just enter the vin. Rule of thumb, if it says 8/17 I would lay money down it's delivered next week. Mine was scheduled May 28 and showed May 7. They give a lot of extra days on the estimate, most are a week or two early.

As always, Thank you MikeH! Since palsapp does not show a record yet, it must still be on rail or yet to be transferred to truck. Sticker changed to "07/27" yesterday, so assume it is on the move through some form of transport.

 

[BAOKIE]

Shipped 7/15, arrived at dealer 7/27 (Kansas City area), picking up this evening. BL+BL with moonroof ordered 3/6. good luck and god speed to all of you in the waiting room

Can't wait to see the pics! Nothing like a newly delivered vehicle that's been through the detail shop just waiting to go home with it's new owner. Congrats ahead of time for the new addition to the family fleet!

While I don't think it's fair to anyone that's been waiting for so much longer than me, I just checked the tracker on this site and my order that had a scheduled build week of 8/2 has now switched to "In Production" from "In Order Review" or whatever it said before that as of today. I'm pretty excited.

And I'm sorry to everyone still waiting that ordered forever ago, I hope this means they're picking up steam and you'll all be built sooner than later.

I know this has been asked and answered, I just can’t find it.
How can we track a vehicle in transit, or even find out which railroad is moving it?
Thanks!

Since Ford has stopped taking orders for BS on 7/26, I suspect they will continue to build to completion the cars ordered up until 7/26. Then after they are done building these cars, that is when they will go back to the cars built in June that are missing the RCM units and finish these cars....this will probably happen around mid-August to September....hence the ETA of 10/31 and 11/03. So we probably won't get the cars built in June until some time in October.
I am NOT going to wait till October for the BL I ordered on 3/18. That would be a 7 month wait...."F" That!!! ??

It sucks big donkey D___ks. i ordered on 2/15. A 10/31 delivery date is a 8 1/2 Month wait for car.

Yes and in fairness it may simply travel by transport via a different carrier if you are in Oklahoma it's not quite as far as NE or NW.
*Giant edit!!! Congrats just saw the 7/27 IT'S HAPPENING follow up. Congrats and enjoy

As long as all the modules are there you're golden!

Looks that way. It says awaiting shipment with 8/30 estimated delivery. Go figure. My sales guy contacted me to confirm the same thing giving me 8/24-8/30 delivery window. I see some "waiting" status in palsapp as well. I'm still cautiously optimistic though, ie I believe it when I see the status change to shipped.

The palsapp tracking is only the truck transport once your BS gets to the final rail head. It's also not real quick to be updated. While it's on the train you won't see any update on that site other than the final rail yard.

They have been completing shipping them in July. Fingers crossed for you it gets loaded on the train and starts heading your way fresh out of the factory.

Has anyone had an issue with not receiving a scheduled for production date for two months? I’m still only seeing that my order is confirmed.
