and I may be in/out/gone based on the recent news of a Bronco Sport shut down due to parts issues from May 3 through the 17th...that's gonna suck. I don't know how that impacts my situation but I can't imagine it's good.

I thought that if you have a VIN /Build Date then Ford is saying that they have all of parts for your vehicle.
Not this year apparently :frown: might be time so see what's on the local Jeep lot.

I've been told the same, they have the parts to build what they have assigned. I'm guessing there are bigger issues at play and it's not good. I am holding on, I will get it when I get it. I've heavily considered buying off a lot and accepting a small sacrifice. But nothing in my area is even close to what I ordered.

Maybe they are short on watertight ECU connectors :) :)

Another one out of the waiting room. See new avatar!
And when you do finally get out of the waiting room do - as reported on another thread - check your tire air pressure. Mine were all around 42 lbs. I checked the inflation sticker on the door sill and dropped them to the recommended 33 lbs. It made a noticeable difference in the ride and handling.

Just got an email update from Ford with new and earlier build date - from June 28th to June 21st. I'm not complaining but considering 2 week production shutdown and chip shortage I find this change's direction strange. Like I said, I'm not complaining. ☺

Edit: just noticed that last email includes new Track My Order button. That's definitely new development. I can see my order details there, etc.

That’s strange. My email had a ?your order button.
