Yeah I know. I was hoping that since it is so close, that it would come sooner. My dad bought a new vehicle from the same dealership and is getting Thurs and I was hoping that I could ride with him.

The thing I don’t understand is that it was on a stop ship because of this brake recall. Then it shipped. Which made me think it was fixed or didn’t have the recall. Now the day before it due to be delivered. The recall hits.
We thought about it. Probably because we do not need it so bad that I am not willing to just bag it for a while and get one down the road. Shoot maybe in 2023 models they will have the paint issue addressed along with coolant/water pump issues, rattling manual cable that everyone disconnexts, rippled door metal, flaking leather seats, etc. That would be good since I am spending over $40K for the vehicle I want. Tweak all the little problems from the initial 2 production lines.
Everyone checked on all the possible hold issues. Not chip as those with chip show in the ETA disposition. All electronic control units show up and checked. Nothing missing there. That means it is something different that what everyone has been seeing.
Even the Ford Pass app no longer sends an error when I try to activate it. Now it has been stuck in activation for over a week. The general delivery estimate in the tracker (left side separate from the pizza tracker line) is now pushed out to February.
I have my BMW M sports car with only 30K on it that I was going to trade in. Wont be hating life driving it for a longer period of time and we have the FJ Cruiser for our 4x4 for everything else!
So based on what happens in next 4 weeks, we may decide to go into holding pattern until 2023

I'm in the same situation as you. Just as an experiment, do a google search for "VIN 3FMCR9D93NRDxxxxx" using your BS VIN. Also search your dealership website for that VIN. Find anything?
If there is one thing I’ve learned through this ordeal, it’s that Ford is not well-managed, and does not manage situations well. I’m not sure what is going on, but I do know that they have not yet fixed any of the brake recalls because they don’t have a solution to the problem yet, and as far as I’m aware, they haven’t even started giving notice to people who have already bought Bronco Sports.
It seems that all of the left over 2021 lot rot models began to ship at the same time. It could be that they decided to just get them out of the factory and let the dealerships deal with it so they could focus on 2022 models and wouldn’t be bogged down with the 2021 recall repairs.
I did notice that in the Ford Pass app, there isn’t a notification of recall for mine like there was with the fuel line recall. It’s against federal law but I’m hoping they just let me take the car without the recall being repaired. I can’t wait another 3-4 months.
Nope. I even had a Ford employee who works in Detroit on BlueOval run everything on Monday for me when he got back from his vacation to Ford and he said same thing. It is as the plant but nothing more than that shows. Not built or shipped.
Ahhhh, I assume you cancelled that order Or did it ship without you knowing it or did the dealer not tell you it was there?
The estimated delivery for mine changed this week to February.
Have you called them? There have been plenty of instances where customers have been screwed over with their custom order being sold to someone else when it shows up at the dealership
Sales manager just called me. It’s on a train in Texas making the last leg to Louisiana. There is no sales hold on the vehicle. So say as soon as they receive it I can pick it up. I will believe that’s once I get that phone call.
None of the above, still waiting for delivery with a now passed ETA of 1/2/22. My guess is that the dealer posts all customer orders on the website to generate potential sales leads if the sale falls through.

I got so fed up when mine sat in Mexico I called dealer and canceled. Dealer said ok but how about we call you when it comes in case you change mind. I said sure why not. Not knowing and being in the dark will drive you nuts it did to me. I was like you I did not need a new car and did not need the grief either. So maybe if it ever shows up and if so take for a long test drive look it over closely. I had every intention of rejecting mine when I went to see it because I do not need to deal with rattles strange noises dealer can't figure out ect. But mine drove so well and looked so good I bought it. Was it worth it in the end? Yep.
