Something seems inconsistent since Ford said they'd be scheduling 5 weeks of production this week. I'd wait to get too upset until there's some official statement about it other than from 1 of the chat assistants.

I have not heard any news on this. I know production numbers are low for July production but Ford has not said that it has stopped. I will email my sources.

This unfortunately sounds like a misinformed Ford rep, I highly doubt production is put on hold. I would not pay any attention to what this rep said. What IS on hold is apparently trucking, haha, my Maverick has been in transit for over 5 weeks now......

Better not be true, what I really don't understand is why they are producing some stock orders of the bronco sport when they have a back log of Mavericks same plant hell even the same line. Ford reasoning is crazy.

Watch the FordVideoGuy youtube videos for actual info, he's the best source. You spoke to a very low level customer service rep who knows nothing beyond what the basic info on their screen says. Time and time again we've seen that these customer service reps have give out the wrong info to customers to include production status, wrong VIN numbers and so on.
I think you're not understanding how manufacturing a large product with thousands of parts works. Parts gathering and ordering occurs months, if not years in advance for planning purposes. They can't simply say hey, we have a ton of orders for this other thing so we need to make only those things starting next week. They plan estimates for build volumes well in advance - when the Maverick was announced, if Ford said they plan to make 100,000 of them per year, the parts orders to make those is already in place or planned - same for all their other vehicles. This can't be shifted on the fly. Sort of like trying to drift a transport truck (or maybe a train...) - it just doesn't work like that.
