And this problem goes far beyond just the pony car…

Ford will be shutting down production of the Mustang May 3-7 with a plan to resume assembling the pony car afterward. While that’s the plan, the outlook for the Mustang and other models, both from Ford and other automakers, doesn’t look exactly rosy. The reason for this production shutdown is simple: there aren’t enough semiconductor chips to power all that flashy technology in new cars.

We’ve seen this problem for months now, with GM having to cease production of different vehicles, most notably the Chevy Camaro. Fiat Chrysler (now part of Stellantis) has had to shut down the assembly lines for the Dodge Charger and Challenger as well as the Chrysler 300.

This problem has affected many other automakers, ranging from Toyota to Nissan, Daimler to Porsche. Industry analysts predict the chip shortages will limit the production of cars in the near term, but thankfully the problem will go away after a while.
