Waiting room

[69cuda340s]

Ford could get a lot of ppl on board with this waiting forever thing if they said you get a bigger rebate if you wait longer. Provide an incentive to wait. Communicate with their customers with meaningful information. And force dealers to lock in the older prices when ordered. As it is now Ford gives ZERO, raises prices, and ppl are reporting those higher prices are getting passed on to them despite having to wait 1/2 year or longer. So keep going Ford, keep ignoring us, keep raising prices, keep your waiting customers in the dark, provide ZERO to ppl who waited forever etc etc etc.

Just look around at this forum, bronco6g.com forum, and the various F150 forums. Hey Ford you are doing a great job really pissing off a lot of ppl with your CUSTOMER LAST policies!!!

If Ford really wants to go with custom orders than filling dealer lots in the future, they have a lot of things to figure out, customer satisfaction being one of the big ones.

My BS has been “in transit” since 7/29. Bottom window sticker date just changed to 8/4. What does this date change mean?

Although I just recently joined as a registered member, I have been lurking about for several months reading posts and watching trends. It seems that the issue of the date at the bottom of the window sticker changing gets some folks curious, worried, and some times confused. I have noticed a pattern with the date at the bottom of my window sticker. It changes about once a week, typically on a friday. My guess, and only a guess, is that it may be an automated process that occurs once a week, and that automated process reflects the date change. I don't believe it has any hidden meaning.

I would 100% be significantly less annoyed by waiting if Ford was more transparent about the build situations and offered special deals for longer waits. The $1k order rebate is a good starting point, but they only made it retroactive to April meanwhile many of us have been watching since March or February or even earlier than that.

I don't blame Ford entirely for whats going on, I'd imagine much of this is outside of their control. But I think they certainty could handling it a lot better as well. The Bronco and Bronco Sport have been some of the most hotly anticipated new vehicles for a couple years, I'm sure they knew demand would be high.

Exactly. Ford isn't responsible for the chip and other part shortages and that I understand but they are responsible for their lack of communication with their customers. I imagine they do not care because the Broncos are so popular right now that if we don't buy the one we have on order someone else will almost immediately.

A Customer Satisfaction PR disaster

A Customer Satisfaction PR disaster

That pretty much sums it up. Ford has their head in the sand oblivious to waiting customers. Customer Last seems to be their approach.

Once again, I am so sorry to you all waiting for so long... but holy crap all within like 2 days, the tracker went to from In Production to Built, and now has an estimated dealer delivery of 9/1.

Window sticker date went from 7/29/21 to 8/6/2021 if that means anything.

My only concern is that the Etis site says "error: Cannot download this data from PTI service" under everything so I can't see any modules. Maybe it's just down or hasn't been updated yet?

I also don't think it'll take until 9/1 to get to central-ish Texas from Mexico if it does indeed ship soon.

My heart is with you all still waiting and I am hoping for the best for everyone.

The tracking systems probably need computer chips that we all know are rarer than spotting 2-Unicorns in Times Square! ?

Does anyone know how often the tracking sites are updated?

The BS isn't their cup of tea and that's ok, I think most readers will get that and filter it through their own lens.

But this is harsh and will be hard to ignore for most buyers that aren't Bronco fans: "How it’s built: Consumer Reports predicts the Bronco Sport reliability to be a 2 out of 5."
