📬 New "we're sorry" delay email from Ford -- July 14, 2022

[ehoog]

I got the same email. Mine showed in production since 7/8.I have the window sticker so I’m guessing it’s built and waiting out in the parking lot for a part..
Mine was ordered 11/11 /21. The real problem is I’ve seen several ordered after mine got built in my region. The exact same truck. xlt lux 4K fx4.Oxford.

You guys are lucky, ordered my hybrid XLT w/lux package and copilot 360 on 7/19/2021, a supposedly early order, just got my production date of week of 8/29/2022! We shall see!

I cancelled my maverick order after it got delayed past August. That's telling me its getting rolled over, and i couldnt wait any longer. Waited already 8 months for Ford to keep delaying it further, so I instead had to get a 2013 Lexus ES 300H in spectacular condition and has leather seats plus a sunroof, plus most importantly, isnt recalled for being a literal fire hazard. I really was going to give ford a chance, they kind of let me down on a relatively simple to build car. The dealership was amazing, it's a shame ford had so many "constraints" for a base model truck.

Edit: for clarity on future commenters, i preordered the hybrid in September. I was set on this truck being how cheap it was and it would be perfect for work. The dealership first told me at the end of May it would be in production june 6th. June 6th came and I called, they said it got delayed again. Mind you, FORD wasn't giving me the information until a few weeks later, the DEALERSHIP was giving me every update as soon as it got to them. I tried looking up the production status for my truck, and somehow its not even in the production state anymore, it went backwards. The dealership (Riata Ford in Manor Texas) was amazing, but Ford is horrible at communication. I called it quits when the DEALERSHIP got the info that it was getting delayed to the end of August. Aint no way Ford is giving model year 2022 vehicles when you cant even drive the car more than 1/3 that year. It had to have been getting rolled over at that point. Like i said, the dealership was amazing, and i honestly would have done business with them had FORD stopped delaying the truck so much. I needed a car now, because 15 MPG + premium is getting super expensive now. The ES 300h does around 32 MPG on regular gas, and honestly im happy with that given its got all sorts of luxury goods too.

Similar story: Ordered 9/21 Ecoboost Lariat, 360 copilot, luxury with 4K Tow, sunroof, and hard tonneau cover. At the time I was told it would take three to four months at the most. Removed cover and sunroof in December. No build date, just the ‘sorry it is taking so long’ e-mails. Dealer not very helpful.
Ordered a Ridgeline May 9th – took delivery June 17th. Was going to keep the Maverick, but the last e-mail was the final straw.
This would have been my 16th Ford/Mercury/Lincoln since 1964, most new.

Then you probably are not built. If the truck is built there will be a lot of codes under both PCM and BCE that indicates your car is communicating with the computer system.

Good question…

104 Days!!!!

You are the chosen one.

They might be building the whole truck by hand. This truck should be sold in millions.

Not yet. Nothing from ford to the dealer and customer service don’t know anything either

Holy crap! There is date in my ”In Production“ column and now my modules are a mile long!

My order status moved back to confirmed after being in production for a month.

Got another email from Ford saying that my vehicle with now be at the dealer by the end of September which means it will have been sitting for three months in Mexico. Hope they’re providing entertainment and feeding my Maverick lots of tequila

This is getting really depressing. In production since 7-27-2022. I have called Ford corporate twice and got the same answer that the truck has come back from the body company and will be delivered to the dealer on 9-1-2022. First call was the end of August and the second call was last week - long after 9-1. The CSR didn’t appreciate my sarcasm on that. Honestly, I’m having a difficult time staying positive and sadly, I’m not excited anymore.
