Maybe I will see my order in 2024

[SRQalldaylong]

I ordered a 2022 MAX SPP in White on 1/15/2022.
Just got this email on 8/18/2022 which is over 7 months of absolutely no action:

Man I am thankful I don't need to buy a car right now. Best of luck to you.

I am in the Same boat as you…. I ordered mine on 1/25 and got this same email on 8/18. So incredibly annoying and frustrating to see people who ordered way after us have build dates or even have a delivery date.

Eh, I ordered Oct of last year, still no car.

That’s insane. Was yours built then put in a chip hold? Still waiting on shipment?

Yea, chip hold then ship hold, lol.
Modules and app populated around April. Then finally got the it's built email and been waiting on shipment since June or July. I no longer want it but my wife does so we will see who wins.

 

[BravoAlpha]

back in March we started getting big delays. Ambassador bridge and what not.. I began to consider waiting another year (we did that in 2021 thinking we’d wait until supply chain issues were resolved). Sequoia wasn’t out yet, suburban would be November that late in the game, and I wasn’t going to buy a Fiat soooo. I just accepted the situation and we stuck with it. I’m glad we did.

You will be unhappy with the 3rd row in the Sequioa. It does not fold flat and has limited legroom.

Look on the bright side...at this rate you'll get a 2024 Expedition at 2023 prices.

I am super frustrated and annoyed. I have driven GM all my life and finally decided I just wasn't happy about their products. My 2019 Cadillac CTS lease was ending February of 2022. In January on the 27th I stopped into a Ford Dealership because I Loved the look of the new Expedition. Was able to work out really good pricing on one based on the fact that I was going to order it. I was told that my order and price would be locked in no matter what happens later this year.

Here I am almost 9 months later will still no scheduled build date or anything. GM is calling my lease back I have ran out of my 6 month extension time. I completely thought I would have a car by now well before the end of my lease extension. Now I have to turn in my car and I dont know what to do at this point. And any Expeditions dealers have available right now are leasing for way more than I was promised.

Such a bummer too because I was really excited to leave GM and try something new but this whole thing has left a really bad taste in my mouth. Now im suck in a rough spot. I was told by the dealer rep that my order could get converted to a 2023 model. He said that would not be good because then they will no longer honor the deal I worked out back in Jan if it does get converted.

Have you not been able to find a clone of your truck on any dealer lots? I know you may lose your deal but atleast you'd have your truck.

Ford has 'higher-than-planned' stock of unfinished vehicles; reaffirms full-year guidance

The Dearborn automaker said Monday it expects to have between 40K-45K vehicles awaiting parts at quarter's end – mostly high-margin trucks and SUVs.

Ford has accepted numerous new-vehicle orders for which they cannot fill in a timely manner.

​

see a lot of 304A's delayed forever. I went with a 303A stealth and ordered after you on 3/10 and mine was final built 9/7 and in the awaiting shipping black hole. ​

 

[smstroben]

I think its a crap shoot as far as what gets built and shipped. I ordered a 303A on 12/17 and an 2nd 303A on 12/22 (trying to get dealers to honor XPLAN). Both of these were built in April, a week apart. Order #1 is still pending shipping (no holds that I was made aware of). Order #2 was on chip hold until June and finally shipped last Thursday. I changed my mind on a few options and ordered a 3rd 303A on 4/13 (added HD Tow, Sync4A, and Advance Cargo Manager). This vehicle was built in late June and I took delivery on 7/15. All 3 orders were Silver, Max, Bench 2nd Row, CCD, EDLS, and Auto Start/Stop Removed. I'm glad/lucky I decided to change my mind and reorder.

Order #1 (09/21/2022 status) --------- Order #2 (9/21/2022 status) ----------- Order #3 (07/15/2022 status)

 

[Deadman]

I'd be really mad if I paid full price and then received a nearly year old vehicle that should now be discounted because of its age alone. I paid $16K under MSRP for my 2018 simply because I bought it as a hold over like these will be....

 

[lobsenza]

Can you buy out your lease? Odds are you can sell it for more than the lease buyout.

I think your statuses of your newer orders being ahead of your older ones shows how ford is prioritizing parts/chips as they come in to be used on vehicles on the line or scheduled to be on the line a day or 2 after parts arrive instead of using newly arrived parts for catching up on chip/part hold cars parked at the speedway.

Totally agree. The part that doesn't make sense is getting the vehicles shipped. My first order never had a material issue, was built on 4/20, and is still pending shipping. The 2nd order had the material issue resolved on 6/20 and just shipped on 9/16. My 3rd order was built 6/17 and shipped 6/18. Order 1 and 3 were from the same dealer. You'd think that Ford would get these on the same train to CA.
