30 years ago? I'm only 62. I didn't retire at 32. I've got many friends and coworkers still working today. At assembly plants all over the country.

Ford built 2024s until November 8th. They started building 2025's on November 11th. I've never seen a redesigned or refreshed vehicle with that little time between model years. No, where i worked, anyone could come in and see the assembly process first hand. You could follow your ordered vehicle...

Never said I worked for Ford. Evidently they have their own way of doing things. Maybe that's why they lead the industry in recalls.

Th I don't work at the factory but I'm sure there is a reason they do what they do. I explain more in this video. My first I don't work at the factory but I'm sure there is a reason they do what they do. I explain more in this video. I'm retired UAW. I know how assembly plants work. First...

Yes, they don't have enough indoor parking for 10k vehicles. They always have quality hold to make sure there aren't any issues when going from one model year to the next. About all of the produced Mavericks have been shipped. I'm sure you like to garage your vehicle but these vehicles are fine...

Thanks, but I've about given up on the truck. This issue has nothing to do with miscommunication or supply chain issues. Ford simply decided to ship Mavericks right off the assembly line while others have been parked outside for almost 6 weeks.

I understand things happen. My issue is, after the quality hold was lifted, Ford chose to ship vehicles straight off the assembly line instead of those that had already been built. My Maverick has already been sitting in a parking lot for almost 6 weeks. No idea when it might ship.

Actual day of production and release to in transit are 2 different things. It probably was built on 11-19 and was released once the quality hold was lifted on 12-10. The in production date for my truck was also 11-14. As of today, no progress. So what you're saying is my vehicle has been...

They may hold them at the assembly plant but any major problem would still be fixed at the dealership.

Got a build date of 11-14 also. Still shows in production.

My XLT will zero options is still stuck in production since 11-15. Don't think this delay is related to anything other than a backlog of Mavericks to be shipped.

Lots of information from Ford. Unfortunately most of it is unreliable. Ford chat says my Maverick is due at the dealership in a week. I don't even have confirmation that it's been built.

My build date is the same as yours. No update since 11-14.

Doesn't seem to be any plan in place to deal with the backlog. Disappointing.

Hasn't this been going on since the 2022 model Maverick?

I understand using the parts on hand. I don't understand assembling vehicles with a part already on recall. Especially when you don't know how to fix it. Build now......hope to fix later.

Yes, I understand that. But if you don't already have a fix for the 2024's then why keep building them? Why build a vehicle that you can’t sell?

A little common sense would tell you that any refresh or redesign would result in changes to the assembly line or process. No, smart ass I'm not an expert. But if you're building 2024's on Friday and the following Monday you're building 2025's that tells me there was very little changeover at all.

Lol. Seems to be working well for them. Can't sell 2024's and the 2025's are on a six week quality hold. I thought "At Ford, Quality is Job 1"?

Lol. No that's not how it's done with other automakers. In my 30 years, I NEVER saw a "refreshed" or "redesigned vehicle" that started with only two days break between model years.
