Waiting room

[69cuda340s]

Mine was scheduled for June 21, I called the dealer to ask how my BS was supposed to be built during a week the factory was to be shutdown He told me that was exactly what their Visibility Report said and they had no idea about the shutdown. About 10 min. later I get an email from Ford re-scheduling the date to July 12, it's been there ever since. When I showed the dealer the email they replied , "well that still two weeks sooner then we expected".

Well the way things are going its highly unlikely any units will be built during the scheduled plant closure second half of June.

Well I've now spoken to Ford Marketing (actually very helpful), My Sales Person, Her Sales Manager, and sent an email to the General manager of the Dealership.

Apparently the General Manager has access to some super secret system that will indicate what the component is that's holding up my build. Ford Marketing couldn't help, my sales person is useless, her manager kept trying to pass me back to her until I really pressed him to look it up himself and he was only able to confirm what I already knew. My hopes aren't high that the general manager is going to be much help either.

Sorry for venting but I know you all get it.

We wait....

What's the end game there? Suppose you figure out what's holding up your build. Suppose it's a major component like 360+ for instance. My understanding is that not all existing order changes can be made - minor ones are OK but major ones might not work. I'm not 100% sure about that. I requested 1 minor change to my order a while back and sales guy had mentioned something about being allowed up to 5 changes and those dependent on type of the change. Don't recall the specifics.

the Date on the bottom of my window sticker went from 6/2 to 6/9 and that means what? Ford Marketing said it was in the body shop on 6/8

It’s a Hail Mary for sure. My last effort to see if I can get it before October or move on to a short term POS.

do you have a ETA to dealership? If it’s 10-31 your likely in a production hold.

You have to vent to us cause we are your waiting room buddies. Family and friends don't understand or care.

From what I've read in other post is that the very bottom date changes when the vehicle goes to body, then again at trim, then again at the end of assembly. Then once it is shipped it updates again and stays that date.

I hope that's true anyway!
I have my window sticker date at 6/3, hope it updates in a day or two.

My build week was 5/31, bottom date has not changed since 6/3, but I have a July delivery date. So here's hoping!

Wow- order same 2/22 now 8/12?

Got the shipped confirmation on Monday, tracker says transit of 16 days. Fingers crossed it stays that way, I’ll have my BS the week of 6/20. Great Fathers Day gift!

The General Manager at the dealership I deal with (family friend) was able to confirm it was the 'floor liners w/o carpet mats' holding up my order on a BL + BL with tow, 360+, cargo mat, cargo management and splash guards.

The most shocking part is I was able to place this order on Friday June 4th and she updated me Monday June 7th. I'm shocked this order was placeable, with the delays I'll likely change to a '22 if and when those books ever open.

Again, I'm near Vancouver, BC, Canada, and this dealer moves the largest volume in the province. So they're at the top of the dealer order priority list.

Hope this info helps.

wow! That’s very helpful. If it’s bloody floor mats pushing my delivery too October and I can’t change the order I might just go postal.

Thanks for the information and I’m glad you’ve got a dealer that will work with and for you ??
