Jan 10th Build Week Thread

This stuff kills me! What the $#%&!!

And now my wife has officially banned me from Facebook until my order arrives…
For a second there I was thinking this was your tracker and you were complaining that it arrived at the dealer while still showing a chip hold. Then I looked at the order date.

Some people will never know the pain.

Oh man… that would be the dream. If I complain about that you have permission to shoot me!

I do worry about getting out of this nightmare chip hold - only to be stuck in some shipping triangle where the truck isn’t moving anywhere again.

I think I’ve seen a few people where it takes months to get their truck to the dealer from the built email? That would be a nightmare I would like to pass on however.

I like to think that lightning won’t strike twice but we shall see. I keep expecting to see an email from ford motor co every time my phone dings but it’s usually just a notification of a new post on here reminding me that I’m waiting on a truck. I feel like im in the twilight zone!
 
Oh yea? I beg to differ on that one… unless they are talking about being built, sitting on ramp 59 baking in the sun…

I've got a question now that our trucks have been sitting there for 4 months in some parking lot. What are the "must checks" when picking them up?

I don't know... I don't think any of my vehicles have ever sat out in the sun this long. Of course, I don't have any clue how long they could have sat on dealer lots, etc... but that bothers me a little.

Also? I worry about mice or other animals burrowing up in parts of the truck... or chewing wiring.

The rust on the drivetrain that seems to exist on all new Ford's for some reason. (almost all?) I think I can now live with. I hate it? But after all this crap we are going through waiting? it's the least of my concerns...
 
I just got off the phone with Ford… yesterday the update from Chip at Granger was I came off chip hold and had “update” pending.

Today, Ford says that I now have a new delivery estimate of Aug 2nd.

I’m speechless.

Do I even want to wait that long? This is ridiculous IMO.
 
omg that is bs…..I was told by my sales guy yesterday that it will come…but still on chip hold :cry::mad:

I saw one that was built but won’t be delivered until October on the Facebook group

I think I can get the email to some high ups at Ford. Does anyone know anything about writing well worded letters and getting a bunch of signatures? Shouldn't Ford care about how they are hurting the working man???

This is getting ridiculous. I checked on mine because of your comment and the dealer is saying mines been pushed back as well.

Ffs Ford get your shit together. Not sure how they can be completing vehicles starting production after ours and finishing those.
 
I just heard my ETA pushed from 5/24 to 7/25! This is absolutely crazy.
 
Let’s be honest ford does not care about 10/100/1000 of us waiting on vehicles to be completed as they run 10’s of thousands off the line at a higher MSRP dealers don’t care cause they mark up the msrp . If I wanted to not Wait and take something off the lot it would be a serious down grade due to price gouging

OH SHIZZZ, you are a week or so ahead of me. I need to reach out to Ford again. LHM has a EcoBoost Platinum I was looking at. They said it is shipped. When i run the vin in the tracker the built dot is white and kinda crooked and no date. The window sticker still shows it fully loaded. Has a blend of 1/25, mine is 1/27. It kinda gave me hope mine was coming. I may have to look at this truck a littler harder. Especially since the Platinums are losing a lot of features now.

It doesn’t seem like they care much does it?

I don’t know much about writing a well worded letter… but I could definitely use a few nasty words in a letter! ;)

If I can do anything I’m all in to try and help / end this nightmare.

I talked to a guy tonight that had a new Bronco. Looked super sharp. He commented how messed up it was last year for Bronco owners. He said there were many that waited for 10+ months on chip hold while his came directly off the line. Sounds like it’s more than just us and has been going on for a while now.

Kind of discouraging. Especially when you think your getting close and it just doesn’t happen.

It's not just Ford. If you ordered one of the new 1500 Silverados when they first announced and released for order, you'd have waited over a year by now. It's happening across the board.

Not excusing it, just saying it's a market/manufacturer problem in general, not exclusive to Ford.
 
My boss got a 21 trail boss and took it without several chips installed, he just got the heated seats a month or so ago and still doesn't have everything working because they are waiting on chips.
 
(I had always looked forward to the date when this thread was dead... we all had our trucks... but now? looks like we just added 3+ more months to the total.)

@ChsTremor have you heard anything on a revised date for your F150?
