Just got my Built email! Ordered August 26, been on chip hold since Jan 6. Premium Ext AWD. There is hope!

And in true Ford fashion, my delivery dates have now reverted back to late May from early April (even though it's still saying Built).

And in true Ford fashion, my delivery dates have now reverted back to late May from early April (even though it's still saying Built).

I’m from the same batch as you… 3372 - 24/630. Also received the built notice with an estimated delivery for 3/19 ~ 3/25, then notified of a push to 4/23 ~ 4/29.

Hope we all see our cars hitch an early ride North!

Well, that only took two days to change from 4/1 - 4/7, to 5/5 - 5/11.

Just got an email from my dealer that my car is no longer on chip hold. He predicts the car will arrive at the end of March or first week of April. I'm less optimistic. I'm guessing 4-6 weeks.

Production date 1/06/22

I just got the same email 3 days ago and yesterday my date changed back to May.

Even though I don't have a visual on my estimated delivery anymore, my dealer told me today the Mach e is still on "chip hold" and still has an estimated delivery 5/9/22.

Check out this article https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a... -- High Minus Dormant and 90 Day Non Openers

it mentions toward the bottom that the Premium 22's will have a special sound system and the power lift gate. I wonder if anyone that has received a 22 Premium got these?

My date on Ford.com changed from 10 May to 28 March this morning. No email and status is still built not shipped. Hoping this is not another tease.

How ofter is VVR updated? Is this a Wedneday night update? Trying not to call my dealer for status so calling Ford Marketing. Her latest status was updated March 2. The dealers March 2 said micochip hold under disposition, her screen did not say that. Anyway got a letter after March 2 (maybe the 5th) said delayed to May.
Anyone know how to get into Palsapp now that it requires a login and password?

The 1/31 post has a good explainer on how to get the vin input to show again. It's still there, just hidden.

Ok so who is crazy now? Can't get into the tracker so signed onto Ford.com under my reservations..... Yesterday delivery said 5/19-5/25... Today it says delivery 4/6-4/12.
What do I believe?? Shouldn't it say shipped?? When do I sell my 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid?

Happy to report I got confirmation of build yesterday. No more chip hold! ETA at the dealer of April 30th

It is the power lift gate, not the hands-free lift gate... and it's a "special" sound system compared to the select but the same sound system as the '21 premium.

I wrote Ford customer service - as I am sure many of us have - and thought I'd share my comments with you all.

"As I initially implied, it is disheartening to observe others with much later build dates move to a 'built' status or even get delivery while mine seems stuck "in production".
I just REALLY want you to do what you can to get Ford manufacturing to make sure Mexico is NOT ignoring those who were first put into the chip hold group. The perception is that Ford Mexico is processing these cars as if we were parked in a lot outside in the very back and they are working on everything parked in front of us first, along with all the new ones - so they are very slowly getting to those in the back.
It isn't just about me, but about all of us in the initial 2022 batches who got stuck at the back of the parking lot."
