Parts Backordered?

[C.J.]

My car has been in the shop for months due to "National Parts Backordered". The shop said that the parts are not in stock at dealership and they need to order directly from Ford. The ETA got slipped several times and seems it takes forever to get the parts. Wondering if others are also in the same situation.

Just had my tranny worked on. No delay on anything. What parts are they waiting on?...

They seem to be in stock here:

Ask the dealer if you can bring in your own parts to speed it along. Most dealers these days don't have enough mechanics to do more than an oil change, so they blame it on parts when they don't have time.

Everything is on backorder right now. I just got my car back today after exactly 5 months. Transmission was replaced hella fast but the driveshaft was on backorder so it sat for over a month. When that came in, it was damaged so they had to wait for another one. 3 weeks later it finally got there. Then the differential needed parts and it sat for nearly a month and a half again waiting for pinion bearings. Not the dealerships fault as every industry is getting hit by fucked up supply chains because of COVID but it's definitely frustrating. The only thing that kept me sane was the fact that this kind of stuff is happening everywhere.

Yea, it's a mess every where with just about anything that's manufactured.

Yep. We manufacture belts and the easiest things you wouldn’t think would be a problem are. I can’t get thread, glue, plastic hangtags, snaps, etc. And the most important thing to make the belts of course is leather and the tanneries are having a hard time finding cowhides these days.

Waiting on some parts for getting my panels adjusted. So I don't want to get my PPF done until that is all done.
Had this car 7 weeks now and have only put on 300 miles!

BTW, I ordered a rear case (trunk) for my Yamaha FJR1300ES back in December. Still nothing!!

Been waiting on a rear valence for over 2 months. The estimated time is now 5/27. At least it's not sitting and I am able to drive it. Good luck everyone!!!

I've got a lightly used driveshaft if needed....

Curious what parts are needed for the panel adjustment.
I haven’t done mine yet and understand no “parts” are needed. Just loosen bolts, adjust then retighten.

Took me about 30 seconds of wondering why I didn't realize that belts used leather.....and I figured out you aren't talking about accessory belts for cars...

Not enough coffee yet either? I definitely spent a bit more time thinking about it than i'd like to admit
