They were unable to replicate it and it has never re-occurred.

Nice car! I follow these threads waiting for the delivery picture payoff.

Fair cop. I think you can make a case either way. I do know that, at least in my car and at the lowest intervention setting, if you don't notice the steering input, you've dozed off the to point that the wheel shaking (much less intrusive than that in my old M235) isn't going to wake you up. I guess I fall into the "warn me then do something" school of thought, but, YMMV. ?

I have the Safe & Smart package on my car with Lane Keeping, which has both Lane Keeping Aid and Lane Keeping Alert. Lane Aid actively steers the car away from the lane markings if the turn signal is not on. Lane Alert shakes the steering wheel if you approach the line without the turn signal. The system can be configured so that either, neither, or both functions are on. If both are on, the way they are set up is that the car will actively try to move away from the line unless you push back against the car's steering attempt. After a few seconds, it stops trying to steer. Then, if you're still moving out of your lane, the wheel will shake as a warning. This is clearly how the system is intended to operate, as shown in the manual: Anyone else think this is backwards? Wouldn't it make more sense to warn you that you are approaching the line before it tries to steer instead of the other way around? If you haven't caught on that you're moving out of the lane because of the steering attempt, the wheel shaking seems unlikely to add any additional notification.

Well, it would be more than "a few days", as they won't be hitting the dealers until September-ish, so you would lose a month or two of summer driving. Also, there's no changes to the GT between the 2019 and the 2020, other than silver/green/orange/red colors changing a bit, losing Kona Blue for Velocity Blue in the CS package (Boo! Kona Blue is a sweet color!), FordPass Connect becoming a bit more prevalent, and and the price going up a few hundred bucks. You look like you're ahead of the game to me.

Oh, I realize that, but the color choices in 401A are the same for both the Recaros and the standard seats, making it necessary to have two different stock sets (standard v. Recaro) for each color option.

Ceramic likely came up as lowest on the pile in a marketing survey when they were determining how many different seat colors to stock. There may also be an issue with stocking the Recaro seats in that color.

Ah, thanks.

Would love to know the day rate and how far in advance you'll have to reserve it. We'll typically borrow our daughter's car when we visit her in LA, but this could move me towards to counter for a few days, especially for the chance to compare it to my GT. Sadly, considering the limited number they're going to make, I'd expect it will be like winning the lottery to be able to get a slot for one. One question, though. From the article: "The base price for the GT is $61,345". Huh?

Thanks! Appreciate the info.

Does anyone know the thinking behind that? Is it a desire to get cars onto showroom floors for walk-ins to consider, as opposed to cars that will be in and immediately out to people already committed to buy?

Rt 95 North, in the Pawtucket S-curve just before the MA state line. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8823195,-71.3792086,738m/data=!3m1!1e3

Not a hint of a problem over the weekend. Well, one. Driving up 95 in Pawtucket RI through the S-curves with the car in Sport+, my wife informed me that she didn't care if I wanted either the exhaust or the stereo booming, but not both at once and that I needed to turn one of them down.

Aaaannnnndddd........ "Couldn't replicate the problem". Damn. Neither can I now. Well, that's why we have warranties. Drive it and see what happens. 221,000 miles. It's an old horse, but it keeps on plugging. We did European Delivery on my first BMW, drove it 400 miles on vacation, and dropped it at the shipper. Picked it up a month later at the BMW dealership in what was called "redelivery". 45 minutes and 45 miles later, I was sitting on the side of Rt. 495 in the pouring rain in the middle of an expanding puddle of gasoline after a fuel line disconnected. It went another 132k miles before I sold it.

On the bright side, I was passing it and it was intact, instead of a less pleasant reason for it to be on the truck. Another plus was that he was doing under 65 instead of highballing it to try to maximize trips.

Interesting morning. Tell my wife that we can see just how quiet "Quiet Start" is. Roll out the door, into the car, press the starter and get the unmistakable sound of a belt / pulley pair where one's moving and the other isn't. Shut it down and watch my wife pop out the side door with a "What the hell was that??" look on her face. Open the hood and get that burnt belt smell. Blip the starter and the serpentine belt doesn't change position as the engine turns over. Turns out that Ford Roadside Assistance is pretty quick (under 30 minutes from the call to out of the driveway). Got a "WTF??" call from the salesman as he saw it pull into the dealership. It's a "thing". Things sometimes break. We'll see what shakes out. I passed the truck on the highway as I was on my way to work just before it headed off the ramp for the dealership.

As Englmar noted, you can ask in the vehicle tracking forum, but you need a minimum of 15 other valid posts before you should do so. There's a post at the top of that forum listing the rules and procedures.

You might try putting this in the tracking forum. https://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/forum/80-vehicle-locator-by-ford-employees/

Hang tough, Ken. Mine showed up at the dealer today.

East Brookfield is 50 miles from the dealership, and it arrived just before lunch today. Thanks so much for the tracking information! Kona Blue GT with black interior, 6MT, 401A, PP1, MagneRide, Active Exhaust, Safe & Sound, no spoiler, and the B&O sound system. Back in a Mustang, 40 years after doing a very bad thing to my '70 Mach 1.

Good morning. Thank you for last week's update and any information this week. When seen last week, my car was hanging out in a rail yard in Toledo. 2019 Mustang GT, VIN 1FA6P8CF2K5156797

5 hours later and it's back to only one copy of the notice, above the timeline, and in bold. Now, if it could only recognize that my car has been shipped and the message really isn't relevant .......

My Mustang GT came off the line and went to the side on 2/18. It was upfit with a wheel and released for shipment on 3/16, and is now in transit. They're getting there, but it sounds like there's a big number to clear. Now, my EDD is still 2/28 and it keeps counting up the days to delivery by one every morning, but that just occasions a smile now. The tracking website has been having its moments for the last day. Yesterday morning there was a parts shortage announcement in bold above the timeline. Then the bold went away. Now the announcement appears both above and below the timeline, one type justified, one not. The web designer needs another cup of coffee. ?

The steering wheel situation is getting resolved. My GT came off the line without a steering wheel and went to the side on 2/18. It got a wheel and was released to shipping on 3/16, and is now in transit. It may take a while, but they're getting there. Depending on my mood, I may have some fun with my salesman by getting in the car at delivery and yelling "Hey! The wheels not straight!" ?

Good morning. Thanks for last week's update. When last seen, my car had received its steering wheel and was by the side of the road with its thumb out looking for a ride. 2019 Mustang GT, VIN 1FA6P8CF2K5156797 Thank you for any information available this week.
