Another damaged Bronco that came off the train this way. Is it really that hard to check your work and secure a vehicle? Looks like no one can do their jobs anymore. :frown:

Stuff like that happens a LOT more often than most people realize - this stuff is quietly fixed at the dealer body shop.

I'm sure it does and the only ones we see are forum members who show us. But in the past 3 years I don't recall any Ranger owners having damage like this. Lately it seems like every week someone's getting theirs severely damaged.

I think historically most vehicles are dealer ordered and so it is kind of "hidden" from public view - when supply diminishes, I think it makes stuff like this a lot more visible. Add in the fact that more people seem to be ordering these days and it makes it worse.

I'd be PISSED if my ordered vehicle showed up like that. Honestly there is no excuse for damage like that during shipping.

Lol... you just cant make this stuff up. Customer received his Black Diamond Bronco and they put the wrong seats in it! They got they front seats right but the rear seats are from a Badlands model with the orange stitching. How does this pass the quality control line?



Front seats which are the correct color:

Rear seats from a Badlands that have orange stitching: :facepalm:

He actually took it well and was laughing about it. It's really not the dealers fault it's Fords for even getting by their QC at the factory. At least he can still drive it until they send new ones out, unlike the ones getting damaged during shipping. I wouldn't be mad either just worried that if something this obvious got by them what else is internally? Maybe it's a blessing mine won't be allocated until 2024. lol

that kind of shit just kills me inside. a little bit at a time

Fords not new to building vehicles. so How does a build sheet, using a process they have tweaked over the years suddenly fail so badly?
Yup it burns me inside knowing something like this got by quality control leaving the factory. Is it the end of the world? No but something so obvious should've been caught.

It starts with the workers. With everything else falling apart throughout the world today it's the only logical explanation. Seems like only a handful want to work and even care about their job now which is baffling to me. I guess that's why I still stay extremely busy without advertising and most of my customers thank me for showing up just to do an estimate. They say they've called several people and non show up or even have the decency to call and cancel. Sad times we're living in.

Here's as even worse thought - this is an easy one to see and was missed (one would think). What's turning up that you can't see in this theoretical QC line? :oops:

Ya’ll just don’t know how to handle these dealers. I walked in to my dealer and said I want to buy 2 Broncos and I want them Now! He pointed at the door and said “Get Out!” I said “Mr Mega Dealer do you have any idea who I am?! I have singlehandedly created almost 25 threads on Ranger5g” He said “I’m so sorry Mr Harris, wait right here..here’s a latte” and he disappeared in the back. He soon pulled around these 2 beautiful new Broncos and presented them to me. He said “This 2door Area 51 was to be Keith Urban’s and this red 4 door was Toby Keith’s but we called them and they said a real celebrity like you should have them.” Incidentally these were a couple special order because little-known-fact they are actually a couple. Those of us who know and love them refer to them as Toby Keith Urban. So ya’ll use that Ranger5g influence to your advantage (being an old white male also helps cut through the red tape) and don’t wait around, enjoy your new Broncos today!!

Yeah that's what worries me too. What are they missing in QC that's going to possibly show up in the future internally? I know this isn't only a Ford issue but lets face it, this whole Bronco launch has been a nightmare form the start.

Yah, I'm not sure I'd order one any time soon if I was in the market for one. Fortunately, I'm not and if I ever am, the Bronco will be old news :LOL:

I can definitely understand why you're looking at the Jeep with this fiasco Ford calls a Bronco.

Yeah I figure by the time I even got mine either the next Gen would be ready to launch or a EV Bronco will be out. lol
