This letter is from the Ford Maverick Club post. No word from my dealer yet
4th quarter??? They're going to hold deliveries of all hybrid Escapes, Corsairs, and Mavericks until the 4th quarter?
What are "new in-stock vehicles"? Does Ford include retail orders as in-stock?

^^^ how long does it take for tracker to update after getting a VIN? Just got it today with the Thursday scheduling... but build week isn't showing in the tracker yet, still at order confirmation.
The status page for yours should update within a couple business days and show the "Scheduled week of" date.
For many in this thread, it seems like the next update after that is when your car is actually given a slot on an assembly line. The "Scheduled week of" date may move around a bit, but when it's actually given an assembly slot, that's when they generate your window sticker. The status page will update and an image of the window sticker becomes available at the link for it. For most of us, that seems to be happening about 3-4 weeks before the car actually gets built. For you, that would be 3rd or 4th week of June.

So confused how some people who had their PHEVs built after me have had there's shipped. Southern Ontario.
IDK about anyone else, but I interpret the single-word non-descript status of "Shipped" to mean, "Under the control of the Shipping department." The factory has done all their checks, if any rework was needed, it's been completed, everything is good, and the vehicle has been passed along to Shipping. The build step can take variable amounts of time, but once the status changes to Shipped, Manufacturing won't be touching it any more.
Once it comes under the purview of Shipping, then the work starts of figuring out how to get it to its final destination. Obviously, that's highly dependent on where it is going.

My PHEV Premium was marked as Built on 5/12/2023 (this past Friday), and subsequently marked as Shipped on 5/15/2023 (yesterday)! Whoo-hoo!

Yeah, that looks like it. Thanks! I didn't know what it's called now.

A feature I've been curious about, I'm wondering if any of you know. Does the Escape PHEV have the ability to schedule a preheat cabin warmup time?
When we bought our C-Max PHEV in 2015, there was a phone app (MyTouch Mobile or something like that), and one of its features was that you could set a time & temperature to preheat the cabin each day. I liked that feature. The app lost support a few years ago and quit working, and eventually I uninstalled it from my phone, so now I'm not even sure what it was called.
Has that phone app been replaced by something else? Or is that cabin preheat feature available natively from the dashboard of the Escape PHEV?

My order status changed to In Production yesterday. The window sticker was available this morning. The blend date is given as 05/12. PHEV Premium w/ tow pkg, Atlas Blue w/ Space Gray interior, heading to WA state. Order date was 11/21/2022. Mine says "convoy" too.

When did you order? Are you east or west coast? Canada vs US?
Order date was 11/21/2022 the 2nd time (12/14/2021 the 1st time). West coast, Seattle, WA vicinity.

My PHEV Premium was scheduled to week with a date of 5/9. After a couple weeks saying 5/9, the day moved up to 5/8. A few days later, it changed to 5/10, and now today it says 5/11. Through all of that, the order tracker continues to say it was last updated on 4/5, which was the day it first showed the 5/9 date.

If Ford doesn't re-prioritize a retail order to 01 or 02, the Dealer must contact their Ford Zone Manager to request the Regional Scheduler to re-prioritize the order. This is a primary reason why it's so important that the dealership staff member responsible for managing the USOB (Unscheduled Order Bank) monitor the retail order status on a continuous basis so that pro-active action can be taken on a timely basis.
Yeah, I suspect you guys are right. My dealer is likely not the savviest. And it's a small dealership; I suspect they don't have many allocations, either. Of course, none of that was known to me when I walked in off the street in 2021... I've only learned about it here, reading while I've been waiting. But it's clear that whatever they could or should have done to keep my place in line with the re-order, they didn't do. Which is part of the reason I feel like Ford's retail experience could be improved. Mostly a moot point now. Car will be built in a month hopefully.

That one is on the dealer, They were told to give holdover orders preference with the dealer assigned priority codes.In Dec. '21, my dealer put my order in as PC-10. By about Feb. '22, Ford bumped that up PC-02, which is where it sat all year. In Nov. '22 when I re-ordered, my dealer again put it in as PC-10 and said they couldn't unilaterally prioritize it any higher. Reading back up through the thread, it looks like orders placed in Sept. '22 have been built already. My order placed 9 months earlier, in Dec. '21 is still in the offing.
My dealer says they managed to get one MY-21 PHEV stock order on the lot (the one I test drove in Dec. '21), and that's the only one they've ever gotten. They've got 3 holdover MY-22 PHEV retail orders, none delivered yet.

I expect the 22MY re-orders having higher priority.
This, sadly, does not appear to be true. I first ordered a PHEV in December, 2021, and re-ordered in November, 2022. My build date (5/9) is later than other PHEV orders that were first placed in Aug.-Oct. 2022.
That's definitely one part of Ford's retail order experience that they need to look at.

The vehicle order status page for my PHEV Premium, no sunroof, has updated for the first time since November.
It now says scheduled for production the week of 5/9/23, which is a Tuesday, and an 8-day slide from the 5/1 date my dealer has been telling me.
-
PHEV Premium, no sunroof, still holding steady scheduled for the week of 5/1.
The week-for-week slip seems to have stopped finally.

PHEV Premium, original build week 3/13, then changed to 4/24, now 5/1 according to my dealer.

I'm seeing the same "unable to process" message, and I've seen it before. I think it means the website isn't talking to the backend database for some reason, like down for maintenance. Previous times I've seen that, it comes back up the next day.

Something to keep in mind. Ford “ built “ 3900 2023 Escapes in January. All of them waiting for software fix.
Yes, according to this article, no 2023 Escapes have actually shipped yet.

I talked to my dealer today, and he tells me the build week for my PHEV Premium has been changed from 3/13 when it was initially scheduled on Jan 20th, to 4/24 as of today. No build week has yet been displayed on the vehicle order tracking webpage.
So on 1/20, the build was 7 weeks away. Now, 6 weeks have passed and the build is... Still 7 weeks away. Not much progress there.
-
As long as it's this year, right? I started this process in 2021. ?
-
Bummer everyone, sorry to hear about the dates being removed.
Mine wasn't shown yet to start with, but I was hopeful for you all.
I got another 45-day "supply chain challenges" email from Ford today.

@jimsmith94 THANKS for the message. Not what I'm wanting to hear but what can we do.
I figured something would happen.
Agreed, not what I want to hear. I was hoping for smooth sailing now after my year-long wait, but at the same time somehow not expecting it. They'll get the bugs out.?

On Jan 20 my dealer told me my Escape is listed in his tracking system with a build week of March 13, and I confirmed on Tuesday that that's still true.
No scheduled build week has ever shown up on the vehicle order tracking webpage, however.

Back on Nov 9th (page 3 of this thread), Stevedbvik1 noted that the Escape hybrids and PHEVs were already oversold by 2-4 times what Ford was planning to produce for the entire model year. So I guess it's not too much of a surprise.
On 11/9/2022 at 8:21 AM, Stevedbvik1 said:Listening to Tim Bartz’s live YouTube last night and he shared this info. He said that about 20% of 2023 Escape production will be a mix of hybrid and PHEV’s. Roughly 11% PHEV and 8% hybrid. Ford has already taken in double the amount of orders for PHEV’s and 3-4 times the amount of Hybrid orders that they planned to build for 2023. So needless to say it’s a problem. To give you a sense of what the numbers look like based on previous year’s production . Ford roughly builds about 12000 Escapes a month . So about 144000 a year. 11% of that number is 15840. So what they’re saying is that they’ve already in the first month of taking orders they have over 30000 PHEV orders for 2023. So waits will be long

2023 Escape Orders & Discussion

So 'engine failure expected to produce loud metal-to-metal clank noises audible to vehicle occupants'... The engines are throwing rods? Breaking crankshafts? Bearings? And the risk of fire comes from a hole in the block?
I thought Ford had this platform pretty well ironed out... Haven't they've been producing the Atkinson cycle hybrid engine for something like 15 years now?
Has anyone seen an estimate of how many vehicles have experienced this failure?
