Hi There!
I have been following other threads on here closely as I move through my order process and have done plenty of research on how this is supposed to work. I wanted some specific insight from this community since our dealer has not been very helpful. We placed our Bronco Sport Outerbanks order on 04/12/21, and was given a build date of 06/28/21. We were issued a window sticker around that time and were able to check in on our order via the Ford Vehicle Order Tracking website. The only thing that has changed since 06/28/21 has been the date above "In Production" which has switched from 6/29/21 to 7/12/21. I suspect this is from the Hermosillo plant "breaks". Our order is still "In Production", which confuses me because I thought the vehicle only took 3-4 days to assemble. Last week my dealer informed me that our vehicle was not impacted by the chip shortage, however today he emailed saying on his end it notes " micro chip at plant in hold" but they did add an estimated delivery date of 8/13. My questions for the community: 1. Has anyone else experienced a chip shortage, how long did it take them to remedy it? 2. Why would they begin to build our vehicle if they didn't have enough chips? 3. How long did your vehicle sit "In Production" until it was shipped. I hear rumors that (yesterday) July 20th, Hermosillo went on break again and will not start production until Sept. 28th. So is this estimated delivery date B.S.? Any stories you have or information would be helpful. Our window sticker also indicates RAIL which I heard can take a little longer to arrive. I just can't wait to see "In Production" change to "Built"! Did I mention I am pregnant and needing this car because my Mustang will not accommodate a baby seat lol.
