Chip shortage is finally affecting Gladiator production

[VolatileA]

Damn… my Mojave was delivered in under three weeks a month ago…
After my Bronco trauma I’m glad I did what I did, when I did?

3 weeks? Did you order it without an engine? :D

Why would ordering Gecko matter? i'll change my damn color right now if it saves me 8 weeks.

Because Gecko is a limited color they are only running for a few months. If they are halting production very few might even get made. And they may not extend the run because of the production halt. I was saying that more if you had ordered Gecko and really wanted it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I ordered this after finally giving up on my Bronco

I ordered mine July 1st and My Sales dude said it was done wed with an estimated shipdate of 7/30. Jeep chat on the same day it was in framing status.

Anybody with a similar order date have any other insight?

I ordered my Mojave on June 24 and just received an email today stating that my Mojave will arrive at the dealership the week of August 28. I just looked up the order with the VIN and all my options are listed. Another month to go!!!

I contacted my sales lady, she says she hasn't heard anything about it effecting orders and looks like everything is processing normal. I placed my order on 7/20. Haven't got a email. Kinda wonder if its only effecting some trims? I'm getting the willys.

This thread is interesting… I went by my local dealer today… had more JTs on the lot than I’ve ever seen. Around 16!!! Guess it’ll slow them down in a few months….

Ordered mine July 1st and received a letter from Jeep today stating a 11/17/21 delivery date.
Edit: sorry. My Wrangler build is the above. Forgot I was on the Gladiator forum. Yes, I have one of these as well.

Question: these emails with delivery dates and/or delays, where are they coming from? I have a VON and VIN but have no idea how to get into ‘the system’ to get these sort of notification emails…

Jeep Customer Care, they have your email when you placed the order with dealer. You will get one.

I have a VON and VIN but haven’t gotten an email yet. JTR w 3.6 and MT. It would be helpful if those who have gotten the doomsday email would put a brief description of what they ordered In an effort to see if they have something in common.

I have a VON and VIN, D status per my dealer, no email yet

Sarge Green Willys 24W, 3.6, auto, black hardtop

Low option easy build for them so fingers crossed

Ordered 7/19

So FYI so you can compare your situations:

• Ordered July 1st
• Have VIN
• Jeep Chat says my jeep is in Frame Status of production (asked two days ago)
• My salesperson says it's Built (two days ago)
• Salesperson gave me scheduled/estimated ship date of 7/30 with 10 day buffer because of driver shortage
• I never got an Email from FCA about a delay today
  • I also never got emails with the vin from jeep, or with the estimated build/ship date like some others have
  • I got my vin with an updated copy of the invoice from my salesperson that he emailed me.
• Also related to deposits my dealer told me that they recommend putting a 3k deposit down because they take the order more seriously and prioritize it a bit more potentially?
  • It's fully refundable if I don't want the jeep though.

Although Jeep chat says it's in frame and got no communication from Jeep, My dealer seems pretty confident and knows how pissed off I was because of my Bronco experience. He has been really helpful and don't thing he's telling me BS.

Salesperson may have mentioned that he has a friend that works at the plant that maybe he gets information from too?


Here is most of my build info I got most of the availble tech packages, so maybe the shortage is affecting the more common base components perhaps (7" screen etc) or maybe the gas engine is missing something compared to ecodiesel perhaps?
