Start checking order status next week as that's when supposedly your order will enter production stage. Good luck.
Thank you!
It doesn't hurt as much not having it yet since I have only seen 5 on the streets since I ordered it. If they were everywhere, That would be a different story! My only real concern is that I have a lease that is up in November. Thanks for the support!
It should hit Texas much closer to the 26th. I'd guess a week and a half from today.
Yeah I was in a similar pickle and didn't want to go without a vehicle when the lease ran out. Instead my daughter drove my challenger for a month because nobody was touching the sport
hang in there it will resolve itself. Most dealers will offer lease extension if it's only a couple weeks.
Thanks for this. My VIN returns "No Campaign Message(s) found." I'm guessing they haven't started production yet.
I don't know exactly how they operate the web based ordering system and who has access to it, maybe Ford marketing is just that...marketing and customer service with little understanding how the WBOS works. Maybe call the dealership and ask to speak to the general manager.So my sales guy at my dealership is on vacation this week, of course and said "He'd have someone look it up next week when he was back". Well, I'm impatient and frustratingly curious what's holding it up, and so I called Ford Marketing. I told the assistance operator that my order had been stalled at "In Production" for 2 weeks now. And so the guy looked up my order and came back with "Due to the Chip Shortage...". I think they don't know the info/resources that we do have available. So I replied, that in fact actually my BB WAS NOT waiting on a chip, unless ETIS is incorrect. All of my modules are installed, as of July 26th actually. At a loss for any more information, he then told me to call my dealer for better information... Really? Call my dealer? It's Ford Marketing... Shouldn't they have access to all the bells and whistles?
Oh, I did. Whichever Manager is on vacation; he's the only one that has access to the system...
At the dealer I ordered from only the General Manager of the dealership has access to the Visibility Report system. For mine Visibility Report says "Commodity Hold Microchip". So when Ford holds a vehicle they are supposed to enter the reason for the hold and the dealership is supposed to be able to see the reason. How accurate or how well those systems work I do not know.Oh, I did. Sales Manager is on vacation and he's the only one that has access to the system...
You ordered your BB a month and a half after I did. It is crazy because both you and I had the same (re)scheduled build week. However, yours started the week prior to the (re)scheduled build week and you went into build purgatory. Mine was built on the Friday of the (re)scheduled build week, my build got all the chips, was tested the next day and was shipped. This makes no sense at all! I am sorry for your delay. It definitely isn't a FIFO (First In First Out) type of process. Squirrelly and random at best.So my sales guy at my dealership is on vacation this week, of course and said "He'd have someone look it up next week when he was back".

join the party. Your BS is waiting on a Chip just like the rest of us. Be advised that the units built in July for the most part are being completed and shipped. Bad PR on Ford's part. Sooner or later (right now I would bet on later).
Chips have come in and are on the production floor, not being sent outside to the waiting units. At this point finishing the units sitting and waiting are the last things production wants to concern themselves about. I am sure Ford is not the only company doing this. Be interesting to see if this is corrected when they finish the 2021 production year.
Oh Lord...that's messed up. Dealer I worked with all of them had access and could pull up any time. The one I bought the dealer got an alert mine was on the truck pulling in the lot. He grabbed both keys and stashed them in his desk drawer before anyone could get them. Funny how some dealerships just do their own thing. I feel for you. That's crappy.Oh, I did.
