Waiting room

[69cuda340s]

Why’d you bring scorpions into this? It’s bad enough thinking about the spiders and snakes partying in our desert wagons.

Won't the ride on the train shake most of the critters out?

Well I got a update on the Ford site today, Delivery is now 11/3/2021 So I bowed out. I bought a GMC Acadia AT4 Good luck to all those Hanging in there.

my ETA date also changed to 11/03/2021.
Ford is all screwed up and it doesn't appear important to them to complete the build on the Bronco Sports that are waiting on the microchips.
Ford is losing sales to other brands since some of you have already resorted to buying other vehicles.
Ford's claim that they are "prioritizing" finishing the vehicles previously ordered by the customers appears to be a load of crap!

Also got the bump from 10/31 to 11/3. Could this be a larger recall they are holding out to fix other than just receiving chips?

Annoyed, surely.

I don’t know what to believe anymore! Mine also changed to 11/3 today. I got in contact with my dealer he says the Oct/Nov dates mean “absolutely nothing” and that their Ford rep told them last week june was the worst of it and they are starting to climb out of it. Yet I see other ppl’s comments from their dealers saying to be prepared to wait until Oct/Nov for their vehicles and that ALL models of the Bronco Sport are now on hold indefinitely?
mine has been sitting since June 11th “waiting for a chip”….will be a month on Sunday….??‍

they just completed a ton of F150s for shipping. The chip plants are apparently all operational. I want to think it's sooner rather than later. I am having lunch with a college teammate next week, I'll see what he knows.

We'll be looking forward to what info your college teammate has. Just joined here and have not been waiting long like most guys here, but waiting till Nov would be painful. Patience is a virtue but they weren't waiting for a Bronco.

Amen those broncos are sharp. Saw my first one here at home, red four door it was...yeah. I've seen them testing for a year ,seeing one on regular roads was sweet. Those folks have waited a LONG time. My roommate/teammate should have some insight, but answers, anyone's guess

Yep - same - and I think the Dealers are just trying to keep the dream alive for some. I'm friends w/ my Ford guy & he would be straight up w/ me - he said Ford just told him All are on hold. So if it wasn't in transit - it's on hold. I'm more annoyed b/c I sold my car already and had some Summer road trips planned

Long time lurker, first time poster. Been waiting for my BL/BL since mid Feb, and am in the dreaded 11/3 hold like so many of you. I will wait out my order as I have wanted it since it was announced. I am hoping that the new date is really just a “must finish” date, and the goal is getting them shipped faster once the chip comes in. I would rather be told a later date and have it arrive early vs the dozen shifts we have seen so far. While this build is taking longer than building a home (at least it feels like it), I know someday my dream vehicle will be here. Trying to keep the optimism alive like so many of you!!

Welcome to the crying club....

Ordered mine 2/15, still waiting on a chip and soaking up some sun in Mexico. I don't need a new vehicle, but I really want this one!

Talking summer road trips. I'm leaving tomorrow to badlands national park without my BS BL+BL. I'm taking the wife's Kia Sportage instead. Not the same. I ordered on 2/15. Thought I had plenty of time to get the car. Wrong!

Hold out if you can. Every day I drive my badlands I enjoy it more and more. It's worth it if you can wait. It's a very solid vehicle
