Waiting room

[Jenbeth]

Gotta love it when @Ford Motor Company informs you 40 days after your vehicle is “produced” that it is waiting for a microchip. This would be AFTER they reassured you multiple times that it does not have ANY holds and is NOT waiting on any parts. This is also after many vehicles with the exact same build have been built and shipped with the microchip yours is waiting for.

Did you confirm your is waiting for a chip too?

Oh that’s brutal. I was only one week ahead of the main crew in this particular thread and once it actually went into production was on a train in under a week (though I certainly waited over six months to get produced and another two for shipping).

Ford built shipped completed sports for 5 months while mine sat waiting for a chip they were installing on the newly built units. Unfortunately thats how they roll.

Bad business practice, but evidently they don’t feel the need to care. I am so disillusioned with @Ford Motor Company right now.

Hello Stranger Love the pics. Glad to see you are enjoying your new ride! It looks awesome.

I'm still trying to get used to the color after having 2 black cars... And it's smaller... But having the roof bars is making up for small size .. the badlands suspension is amazing... Took it on some pretty rough ground... Handled it with no issue

Woo Hoo! The BS outer banks I ordered February 28th has arrived! Picking it up tomorrow, August 10th. Now to order all the aftermarket stuff I haven’t yet ordered. I’m still undecided on the window vents. In channel, or the OEM ones that stick on. I’ve had the stick on type fly off at highway speeds on my Escape, but I seem to remember a post here about the in channel ones being a tight fit, and interfering with rolling up the windows, and even pulling out as the window was rolled down.

Huzzah! Mine moved up a week and it stuck.

Same here! You and I are on the September build-ride together. Hoping it sticks as well, but I won't be surprised if it gets moved again.

I'm reading through the July Waiting Room and getting more and more concerned about the chip shortage. Hope we don't wind up in the same uncertain boat those folks are. So ready for this vehicle to exist so I can stop worrying.
