Parts shortage impacting orders

[spiritedcharm]

This is the first time I've seen this pop up on Ford's website. My Badlands is scheduled for the week of 6/20 and I'm hoping this won't affect me (or any of you who already have accepted orders). I ordered the 360 assist package and this has me thinking - I haven't seen one car with this package. When you build an order for a Badlands it still allows you to add it, but I haven't seen one person take delivery of a 22 model with the 360 assist package. Anyone else?

I saw the same message two to three weeks ago.

I placed my order for a Badlands with the premium package and 360+ on 4/30.

We’ll have to wait and see what happens. I’m hoping it goes smoothly and Ford can make exactly what we asked for.

My dealer didn’t say anything about issues with 360+, just that it’s going to take some time.

He did mention some concerns with stopping production of specific models.

Who knows, that could mean more parts are available for Bronco Sports?

I was told by a Ford rep (FWIW) that if they accept your order, it means they will build it with the options requested. I am a worrier, so any reassurance helps.

Or they build them and they sit at the plant waiting to be finished. This has been an issue since day one of production. Covid threw a wrench into the works just as the plant started and the supply chain just hasn’t recovered. In 2021 we waited for moonroofs and 360+.

I'm sort of okay with the wait. Up to six months is probably all I can handle and as long as I know I'll get everything I ordered, I'm okay with that. The temptation to buy one off the lot that has everything but the 360 is so tempting!

I did end up buying a 22 BL off the lot with the 360+, because my order from 12/2 hadn't been scheduled yet. It was a customer order and I do not know why they passed on it. The one on order is now scheduled for 5/30 . . . we'll see how much this one is worth when that time comes.

I think the 360 is worth the wait.

Good to know! thanks!

I have a 22 OBX with moonroof, 360+, all that jazz and it took right around 5 months from order to delivery (see dates below).

From reading around the forum, the biggest delay in scheduling is on Badlands, not the extra features.

What holds up production is all over the place depending on what supply chain issues are occuring at any given time. I don't think anyone knows what/when something will be held up delayed. Sometimes all parts are on hand but a problem part is discovered after vehicle is built so it will be sent to storage yard for days/weeks/months so there is that too....

It was a customer order and I do not know why they passed on it.

Missing the engine cover?

Any real problems with quality in general due to supply issues?

Fit and finish, etc?

Ordered my Sport on November 12, it was built March 2/2022 and still waiting for it, got a email on April 11 stating eta of April 8-15th, it’s now May 4 and nothing

110% I didn’t think I would like it… I use it every time I get on the freeway now

More anecdotal than helpful but my Bronco moved back again too and was supposed to be here end of March. Toward the end of April, the dealer said it’d be a few more months, again. I canceled and told him I’m just keeping the Bronco Sport. I think I like it better anyway.

I hope your Sport does better for delivery!
