It arrived at my Dealer this morning 1/13/2010. Just to rub salt in the wound, they said that normally I could of picked it up today, but since the only guy in the entire Dealership that can do the paper work will not be in all day I can't. So I am going to go get it tomorrow at 12:Noon. I was going to give them a shot at meeting the online price for the extended warranty, but after this I will buy it from fordwarrantys.com and save the $177. in sales tax on the ESP.

Well that's lame. Where are you located?
At last check my MKT was in Oakwood, MI and had boarded a train to somewhere else (I assume Chicago). It hasn't stopped more than a few minutes since it hit the rails (not to rub it in!). Hopefully yours moves soon!!
I'm in Long Island, NY

Once again my Flex is sitting in a lot. It is now in the Supreme Auto Transport depot in Niagara Falls, NY.
I spoke to a dispatcher at Supreme and he said he hopes to get it out of there by the end of the week.
I hope he is talking about this week. I wonder if it will have to make any more transfers or if it will
come here to Long Island, NY in one shot.

I found out that only AWD Flex and MKT had this stop ship. Back in late November it was discovered a part was failing under hard acceleration with turning.
Seems this issue has been fixed and those vehicles were repaired.....
Yes, What I'm told is that they had to replace the PTO (power transfer unit) on 750 AWD vehicles assembled in the Oakville Plant since 12/2/2009. My Flex has been done and released to Transport, I don't know how many of the 750 have had the PTO replaced already.

Yesterday late afternoon, I left a message for Ford Customer Care to please call me back with an update.
They called this morning about 9:AM to tell me that my Flex is on a truck and on its way.
I'm not holding my breath, but I think I can see some light at the end of the tunnel.

This is what I know about those vehicles
MKT 2LMHJ5AT2ABJ17021
FLEX 2FMHK6DT4ABA77051
FLEX LTD EB 2FMHK6DT5ABA73879

The plant has to change every PTU (power tranfer unit ,unit comes from Mexico ,unit is located on engine and has a bad weld (cracked) ,taking about an hour to change the unit) on every AWD vehicle they have made at the plant since Dec 2. Last I heard was there is 750 units left to replace. So hang in there.
Topgun, Thanks for the reply.
Is their any way to know if my Flex is one of the ones which needed the PTU replaced, and if so if it has been done?
VIN: 2FMHK6DT4ABA77051

I just checked with the Ford Customer Care Center and
lo and behold their was an update form 11:30 AM today.
It said that my Flex was released to the transport company today.
I still don't know when it will actually head out on a truck or
what the quality hold for so long was for, but it's definitely
a step in the right direction. SOUTH!

Congrats on your new ride! Maybe I'll receive mine one day too!

I just wanted to let you all know that I have picked up my flex this morning.
Have a happy new year.
Well you have a GREAT NEW FLEX YEAR !
I don't know if you already have it but here is the link to your window sticker.

Isnt a December Xmas/New years 2 week shutdown normal though?
I don't know if it is or not, but my Flex rolled off the assembly line on 12/2/2009 it should have been long gone before the shutdown.
-
Got a message last night that my flex is comming in and that I can pick it up Thursday morning. I still a bit skeptical if it will actually arrive.
I will keep you all posted.
I am starting to think that the problem is with the EcoBoost package. I don't think yours is an EcoBoost. So that may be why it was shipped? Good Luck
-
Dealership said today that they "think" my MKT has shipped. They said they are not 100% sure, but their rep led them to believe it has left the plant. Who knows.
After I left two messages for them, I received a message today from the Ford Customer Care Center,
that since the Oakville Plant is closed for two weeks they can't get much info, but that they "think" that my
Flex will be released for shipment the first or second week of January.
-
Still no new Info from my dealer. Anyone else get anything at all.
No, I left a message for my dealer yesterday and as of now no response.
-
Which other Ford vehicle has one? I thought the Flex/MKT were the only ones.
Thats what I am trying to find out. I wonder if the one from the MKT will fit in the Flex?
-
The problem is that this delay may well cost me thousands of dollars.
1- The Federal sales tax credit expires on 12-31-09. The sales tax in NY (8.625%) on a $46,000.+ purchase is significant.
2- The current rebates ($2,500.) end 1-4-2010 and who knows what if anything will replace them. With Ford you get the rebate which is in effect when you take delivery, not what it was when you ordered.
3- I have a $750. coupon which expires soon.
4- If you have a vehicle coming off lease at the end of the month it may force you to do a buyout that you did not want to do on a car
with a current value which may be less than its buyout price which was set at the start of the lease.
-
I don't know for sure if their is a stop ship order for Oakville or not. All I know is what I was told by the Ford Rep.
Here is the File Reference Number "0410143559" for anyone who can access it. That file contains the Ford Problem Resolution Center Supervisors notes of what she told me.
-
Your vehicle is in the yard waiting to be shipped. I'll check on Friday to see if it's gone or not.
cal1,
Any update? The only information which I feel like I can have any confidence in comes from you.
Thanks and have a wonderful Holiday Season.
-
Thanks for the update! Is that the case with all Flex/MKT models are just the Ecoboosted models?
I was told "ALL VEHICLES FORM OAKVILLE WERE UNDER A DO NOT SHIP ORDER".
But I guess you have to consider the source.
