Quality concerns on the existing builds with delayed arrival dates?

Somebody else posted a similar statement a few days ago. I (and others) asked for a link to the video so we could see it too. Never got a response.
But you've seen it, so maybe you could post a link for us.
I'd really like to see it as I live near the border and the trains from Hermosillo (some of them, anyway) come right through here.
A number of days ago, I actually tried to post a thread regarding the video and included a link. I think the thread was deleted by a moderator within moments. The video was just a random news item I came across. The reporter was "imbedded" with law enforcement to include Texas DPS and probably other agencies. It clearly showed illegals riding inside the vehicles in the rail cars.
Found it!

I didn't post the link. On purpose...
If your Maverick arrives unmolested, be sure to thank a Texas State Trooper.

Thanks. That looks like the same kind of rail car we see in Arizona. But I doubt those cars are from Hermosillo. I think all the cars from there come up directly and cross into Arizona and California

I'll be reaching out to Ford today to see what they can tell me. I have no idea what that "stop ship" note was about; nor did my dealership. But if I learn anything new today, I'll let everyone know.

That's wild that it's still moving around with the stop ship designation on it. Maybe the stop will go into effect once it reaches NO tomorrow or whatever. As always, a little indication from Ford on this would be comforting and eliminate all this speculation. I'm also kind of amazed that you didn't get an email from Ford. I assume you've gotten other ones updating you when it was scheduled for production, built, etc.So now that I have the railcar number, I called UP to trace it. Per their automated system, the railcar my Maverick is on recently left Arlington, TX and the next stop is tomorrow in New Orleans.. yet my order is supposed to be delivered in Iowa. Seems odd but I have no idea. I assumed the rail car would still be in Hermosillo per the "stopship" note. I guess it's moving at least
I still have not received an email from Ford with the new delivery date..

Well no real surprise here, but neither Ford customer service online chat nor an agent on the phone were able to shed any more light. I asked directly about the stop ship notice, but both sources denied any knowledge of that and insisted that their Ford internal system simply shows the vehicle as "in tansit" currently. I have no reason not to believe them, and I assume my dealer wants the truck to arrive and be sold as quickly as possible. After all that, it still could be a quality problem with select mavs they're checking, a shipping hang up given the rail and trucking constraints these days, or something else entirely - I have no way of knowing.
I respectfully mentioned that it's frustrating to have such little communication and continued delays for all of us, but customer service just recommends that I keep waiting. Not overly helpful, but that's what I know.
I will say, I was only on hold about 5 minutes on the chat and 10 on the phone. I expected worse.

Dealer called to say STOP SHIP is in the notes for mine. It missed the original delivery window last week, which prompted my dealer to check up and reach out to me with an update. Unfortunately it did not sound good. Thinking about it, I have not received an undated ETA delivery email from Ford. My salesman could see the new delivery window in there, it was about a month out yet. But he didn't sound very sure on that date being solid, kind of tossed it out as was the case for the original delivery dates.

I am in Texas, kinda near Arlington. Want me to hang out by the track's and watch for your Truck? LolSo now that I have the railcar number, I called UP to trace it.

Thanks for sharing this. I hadn't searched the stop ship term but that article points to a quality concern, which makes sense. I wonder how owners who already took delivery will be contacted - I'd have thought there would be posts from owners about recalls or whatever if that had happened already. Maybe it's just a certain batch of the trucks or something...
