Parts Shortage

[itdwebman]

I also receive inventory delivery reports from United Road for 4 dealerships, not one Lightning has been delivered to any of them in many weeks.

Thanks all for this info. Hopefully trucks start getting into transit this week.

We are understanding of your plight. Many of us with 22 trucks had upwards of 6 to 8 weeks or more between blend date and actual receipt at the dealership - with much of the time spent sitting in a parking lot at the factory before it was even shipped. To add insult to injury, some of us had notes written on our trucks pointing out issues that were never fixed at the factory.

What issues were on the notes and did the the Dealer address them?

What issues were on the notes and did the the Dealer address them?

Note about a screen. Also a marked arrow with a problem for a gasket in a door jam that had not been touched. The center screen had to be replaced because of a scratch on the knob. Various weatherstrips were also replaced. There were a few other issues including a spot of peeling paint in the bed, but that got covered up with LineX. I do not remember the other notes.

The dealer did not make any repairs pre delivery and I had to figure out the notes from the pictures on the back window that the salesman took And then realize what had not been addressed. I suspect that there was a major issue with my truck because the rear motors have date labels. Few weeks after my scheduled production week/blend date.

And for the record, I am not at all unhappy with how my dealer handled the situation.

I hope you have smooth sailing. My Lariat ER has been in Production since 8/7 with BCE and Tear Tag generated. Many trucks are setting built or partially built in Dearborn.

Very frustrating. I waited 11 months for a Maverick build and finally gave up. I placed my Lightning order and have a build date scheduled for 10/9.

I am hanging onto a high mileage F150 Ecoboost that I really need to replace as it is becoming a repair burden.

It would be nice if they would give their customers a real update instead of the generic email.

My production week was supposed to be 8/14/23 but got that same email. Then suddenly it was in production and it arrived at dealership the other day!
