That's a good point...wonder if the rest are getting immediately loaded. I haven't seen anyone ship out in either waiting room, but they must be going somewhere since the status grows by only a few vehicles each day.

For those of you who had chip issues in July, did any of you wind up in the "Built, awaiting shipment" status or were you all stuck in production? Just want to be as sure as possible this holdup has to do with the railways and isn't a disguised chip hold.
I think almost all - if not all - were sitting in "In Production" for that 1-2 months. The majority went to "shipped" very quickly. But, I was one of the last in the group to go to "Built" and now have been awaiting shipment for 13 days...

Mine was stuck in production for 2 months and just switched on tracker this morning to built and awaiting shipment.

@KatieF34 . You were just waiting for the last one to be complete (something like no one left behind alone)and we will all ship out in the next couple days I think…. ?

Thank you guys. So we can be pretty confident this is a shipping issue and we aren't waiting on chips. I just find it interesting that we're already seeing holdups even though the rail strike hasn't technically started (and as previously stated, probably won't be allowed to take place).

Wonder if the delay we're seeing is more related to the flooding in Hermosillo and has nothing to do with any strikes just yet. It's only a 5 hour drive from me. Wish I could just go pick it up.

Definitely! I'm a team player, for sure!

This has been a 7 month process for me.. I've learned you can't really be sure of anything. But, I have been reading a bit about how it could be a flooding issue.. also possible embargos. Could be anything really!

Yeah, if they would let me, I’d fly down and get mine too.

If a vehicle is built without a chip, what would the process be for adding the chip later on?

Would it require removing a portion of the dash, for example?

You would have thought that instead of waiting in Mexico for a chip the time waiting could have been spent in transport and then have the dealer install the chip.

It all depends on where the missing chip needs to be placed. They aren't all under the dash.

Just talked to Ford again today. They swear it’s gonna be on the next train out of town, and that the only reason it shows ā€œin productionā€ is because someone hasn’t finished the paperwork. No chip holds.

Mine is still showing In Production, tried calling Ford just now and it keeps directing me to their marketing department and saying they’re closed, even though Ford Customer Service is open till 11pm EST.
