Waiting room

[SM05]

My bad - I was actually trying (and apparently failed) to be sarcastic. 4 months would be a dream. I ordered on 2/9 and have current ETA of 10/31. My frustration is watching others with pretty much identical builds leap frogging over me.

Not to worry, plenty of us are still waiting along with you.

Have you heard anything different or new? We are probably not even on the same train, but I feel like we are in a similar place

Nope. Scheduled delivery is 6/16-6/22 according to tracking site.

Finally got the confirmation email from Ford! The waiting begins. Any one know when it’ll pop up in my Ford account? Thanks!

Still waiting on dealer.

This is the story of my Bronco Sport. How much do the dealers actually do at this point. Mine re-typed in the spec that I handed them, collected a $1000 deposit, and then sat on their ass and made nearly zero effort to let me know what was going on. They really aren't needed anymore.

I have one more waiting step! I woke up this morning and decided to check the window sticker. Really bummed when the date hadn't changed. Decided to put vin in mach e tracker - DELIVERED! OMG. One more tick on my waiting list and that is the dealer call! Hoping lightning, hail, high winds and floods stay away until I get the call and pick up

Congratulations. I just checked mine and still in transit

Here are the numbers:
Local dealers
Ford - 8 new Fords
Jeep - 7 new Jeeps
Kia - 89 new Kias
Hyundai - 163 new Hyundais
Once again…..I want Ford to build the BS in the order that the order was placed. Don’t build Mavericks when people are waiting on their BS.

They are not building Mavericks at the moment.

Well I’m leaving the waiting room. Couldn’t wait till a “maybe October 31” anymore. Picked this up on Friday and pretty happy so far!

That looks nice. I'm glad to see they are putting in LED headlights, my 2015 JK had the worst headlights of almost any vehicle I have ever driven . More than once my passengers said "are you going to turn on your headlights?" when they were on. I replaced those headlights with LEDs from Quadratec.

My husband has a 2015 Wrangler. He loves it and it has been problem free. ? Enjoy!

I got bumped to October too and I didn't add the Co-pilot 360+ so I don't think that's it.

I also just got bumped to October was showing mid July, today it went to October.

 

[Ricejenn]

So mystery is how can Ford hold vehicles until October due to chip shortage then build more units the next week? How does that happen?

Exactly! Why are they continuing to build vehicles to let them sit? And why are dealerships still getting ones to sell on their lots? Why aren’t they just focusing on peoples orders? Makes no sense!

From what I can tell many dealers placed lot orders back in Dec/Jan and those are just coming through. I absolutely agree orders should take a high preference...but on their end, their dealerships are the arms that feed the blue oval. You need cars on lots for test drives and trade/new sales too.
How many of us have backed out on a build (raises hand...that's me)...how many people have tracked and followed inventories and bought off a lot (raises hand...me again)...
Doesn't seem fair, but dealers are pinched, buyers are pinched...if you throw full focus into orders that dealer you ordered from is left hanging...it's complicated.
