05/09/22 Build week

[Brego]

Are you on a chip hold?

I‘m not, my dealer was abler to confirm that, not sure about others.

So my 7th and 8th ETA's were ranges of a full week. the 1st 6 were a specific date. Not sure what the correlation with weeks being given instead of dates.

No correlation that I saw. I was mostly week ranges. I think that some chat/phone reps tell you the range and others give the last date in the range. At least that’s my experience as the individual date was always the last in the range for me.

They should also be able to tell you if you’re on chip hold. A lot of March and April build weeks just came off chip hold within the last 2 weeks, so they’re certainly making progress. I was on from 4/20 - 6/14. Came off and shipped out 6/16. Others have come off and still are waiting to be shipped. That is still a crapshoot it seems.

Nothing yet, hopefully it's just a weekend

Nothing yet, hopefully it's just a weekend and come back in tomorrow on a Monday but sadly they don't care I bet.

After getting built on 5/30 they've kept the same 7/2-7/8 date for my ETA. Been trying ford chat for the glorious rail car number but still "released and awaiting shipping". Wondering if I'll be another one that goes past their ETA and doesn't get a newer one.

Got this a few moments ago:

“Good Morning, Mr. Mann.

I wanted to follow up with you on your F-150.

First off, I want to apologize for the delay in getting your truck to you in a timely manner. Unfortunately, we are still experiencing delays in getting our vehicles out as a result of supply chain issues that have created back-logs at our distribution points. I don’t want to make excuses because we have to get better!

I have requested your truck be expedited and we will hopefully see some movement on it shortly! It is currently marked hot in our system.

Please reach out if you have any questions and look forward to you getting your F-150 soon.

Thanks,

Nick

That's good to see a reply, hopeful they come through with their word. Did you email this person directly or did they just email you?

I just got the same email myself.

I emailed that Rick guy (I think) but this person responded. Hopefully, the responses are followed through.

I have a small amount of hope though, I don’t let it get too high with all that has happened, my dealer’s VVR still says by the end of this month for the ETA. My dealer is confused as well, he says he’s never seen his VVR and phone/chat have such large variances in ETAs. They may vary by a few days to at most a couple weeks but not months as is my case.

It almost makes me wonder if they have finally caught up with having no more holds currently happening with newer builds and are back to fully shipping the line out. Would be why there has been delays in shipping and a lot of the earlier years builds are getting their modules finally.

Can't remember where in this forum I saw it, possibly another, but I've seen the term "hot" used and the person mentioned it was shipped in 2 days. Fingers crossed.

Just called and my truck is now awaiting shipment with an ETA to dealer of July 2. We will see if the date sticks but I am just glad that I am finally built!

 

[michaelh24]

I still haven't gotten a response and I think I emailed him first. That response is still BS though. You said you were built right? His response implies your truck is waiting on a part when in fact it is simply waiting to be shipped. He still didn't explain why some trucks are shipping that were finished last week while others waiting for weeks or months completed are still sitting around Dearborn.

Also, you guys emailed Andrew Frick right and Nick responded?

Yes, I only emailed Andrew. Nick replied.

 

[michaelh24]

Thanks!

 

[JohnMcClane]

Is anyone still on a chip hold or plant hold with an Oct ETA? Looks like everyone has moved up to actually getting it by or near July 4th. Which is great to see.

 

[michaelh24]

My currently delivery (one delay) is July 10th thru 16th. I'm hoping the emails bitching to Ford pushes that up some or at least removes any other delays.
