May 9th Build Week Thread

[Pathfinder]

Same here. There was a time many months ago where I eagerly checked my email hoping for an update from Ford. Now I dread seeing a Ford email.

Well, that's another awesome Friday, I received another email from Ford today pushing my build date again. Now instead of week of June 20th, now it's week of July 11th. So another 21 days.

Holy $#!T, this is getting ridiculous

Now I am 11 July too!! I know what the "F" in Ford stands for!!

I think they're using all the damn chips on trying to get the Lightning out.

Yes, of course I got the July 11 email as well. Pretty soon we'll be asked to resubmit our orders for a MY '23.

No doubt.

Well my blend date was Wednesday, there's been some movement, but I talked with chat today. I am officially in chip hold purgatory. They didn't say when they thought the chip would be in, or what it was, but thought the truck would be delivered June 22nd, so I'm going to go ahead and assume that is the earliest the chip will be in.

Good assumption. I can’t believe people are still going on chip hold

Seems like they got almost everyone from last week built then a few right up to my blend date built and shipped, then ran out.

Sadly I just got word that I have also been moved to week of July 11 also. Hopefully not too many more 2 month adjustments in the future

The 1/14 order curse strikes again! I received the 7/11 update too.

If it makes anyone feel better, most of the people on the other forum in this build week are now also on chip hold. So although postponing build weeks is a separate misery, it might be for the best.

I would rather wait for my truck to be built and have it ship soon after. Having it sit on a lot in the sun rotting away for months would be a worse form of torture. I checked out the Ford Expedition forums. They have all the same issues we have in F150 land.

I agree with you there. Wish they would have pushed my build date until the actually had the parts I needed. Been an odd experience, they told me it was sitting on a ramp (I think?), but new features keep popping up on my fordpass. Specifically the option to setup a wifi hotspot, which wasn't there yesterday.

So is someone at Ford messing with me? They told me I was on a chip hold Saturday.....

I'm on this rollercoaster ride with you, man... My blend was 5/10, modules populated, activate button in my ford pass app... Am I on a hold or not- we shall see!

Great news for you though!

I might chat with Ford to verify. Tracker wasn't working, just started working and still shows in production. Seems odd I'd go from chip hold to built in less than 48 hours. I'll keep everyone posted.

Congrats, hopefully, TJE. I've had similar experience lately - received the Built email a few days ago, called immediately and was told sorry/disregard/still in chip hold, got a Shipped email two days later, and now tracker is saying VIN invalid, lol. About to call and pester a bit more..

They're really messing with you! My tracker this morning said invalid VIN as well, up until about 15 minutes ago.
