Anybody have this issue resolved yet? Still waiting on taking my truck to the dealership until there is a known fix.

In searching online, I came across a post where someone claimed turning off all the vehicle's connectivity settings, logging out of FordPass, turning the connectivity setting back on, and re-logging back into FordPass. fixed his problems. I did the same thing and it fixed the problem....for 3 days. Now its back to giving me the message, almost immediately, when I lock the doors. It doesn't bother me, but it sure was nice not having several notifications for FordPass for three days. I would agree this is likely a software problem. If there is a fix, I'd rather wait until it's well known, rather than leave my vehicle with the dealership and be the test monkey.

Broke down and contacted dealer. VVR says mine is in Blue Island IL, Burlington Northern/Santa Fe train. Probably get to Portland end of month and to dealer mid/end Sept. My guy says he's seen them sit at the railyard for as long as 3 weeks or as little as 3-4 days.
Mine took 8 days from build day to arrival in Portland. It then sat at the rail yard for 3 weeks before it made the last 40 miles to the dealership.

Finally!! Congrats on a great truck. Did they treat you right?
Over-all they did. There was one small hiccup, but it was immediately corrected when I caught it. I'm happy and have a Ranger on order for my wife. It just got scheduled yesterday. Finally!

Is that antimatter blue or black either way can you post more pictures? I ordered pretty much the same truck, f350 king ranch ultimate CC/SRW/LB 6.7 almost 8 months and nothing so I’m living through you. I’ll pretend it’s mine???
It's a Black, Lariat Ultimate, CC/SRW/LB. surprisingly, I have not taken any more pictures yet. I will post more, probably tomorrow, in the Delivered Truck thread. Let me know what you would like to see and I be sure to get photos of it.

Thanks for the info. I'm interested in what you find out. I live a long way from the dealer and hope to limit my trips. I'd like to have some knowledge on the subject before I take it in.

Picked up my brand new 22 F350 on Friday. I love the truck, but within 10 minutes of shutting if off, Ford Pass gives me a notification of "Deep Sleep Mode". It's every time since I picked it up with only 5 miles on it. I have not put a volt meter on the batteries, but it starts fine and does not appear to have low batteries. It doesn't mater if I drive a 60 miles or just across town. When I shut it off, I almost immediately get the notification. Is this normal? I'm new to Ford Pass.

The wait is over!

So, my truck has been sitting at the rail yard, an hour and a half from my dealership, for three weeks now. It is waiting for for the transport company to deliver. Of course I've been tracking and watching the whole time and I have come up with the following:
United Road has the contract to deliver my truck. As soon as the truck was built, United Road assigned a load number and made it visible. I have looked at other loads United Road has delivered to my dealership, and every vehicle on the truck has the same load number, telling me the number is not vehicle specific. This tells me United Road schedules loads long before the vehicles reach the final rail yard. I can only assume, if one of the vehicles, assigned the same load number is delayed getting to the final rail yard, the whole load is delayed. Several other trucks have been delivered from the rail yard since mine has arrived and some built after mine.
I have no idea if this is the case, just my best deductive reasoning.

On another note, are the trucks traceable via Ford Pass once it’s “shipped”?
You can not. You can add the vehicle to Ford Pass, but it will not let you activate until you have taken delivery.

So I am scheduled for the week of August 1st. I just received my window sticker and i was going to populate my module list. Do I have to have the Forscan app already to do this? I went to Motorcraft service.com It seems to be there and able to download but no way to open.If "Download File" is all you see, then the modules are not there yet. They will not populate until the vehicle is produced. Once they have, you will see the list below the "Download File".

I feel blessed today. The Beast is home. Tomorrow would have been six months from order date. There’s a lot of tech on this truck for this old guy to learn. My previous truck was a 2001. Still had a single CD and cassette player in it!!
Looks Good. Are you going through the dealer for the spray-in bed-liner? How far out is scheduling?

Didn’t see the two-tone black…sorry.
Sounds like the price protection isn’t going to be a problem. We settle up tomorrow. I’ll let you know.
That's awesome to hear. Thank you!

What is wrong with the safety chains? I have two trailers one a TT the other a boat trailer with two different styles and I can get them on the 3" receiver setup. Could it be easier? Yep.
LoL. I think you answered your own question with that last statement. Little improvements are always welcome.

My apologies to those that have waited longer than me, which is just about everyone. I ordered and confirmed 3/30. Scheduled today for 8/22. Antimatter Blue, F250, 6.7L, CCSB, Lariat ultimate package, BAP, Tremor package with up fitter switches and clearance lights. I think some of the details were off on the email but will just have to see when I get the window sticker. It said something about multi contour seat delete, king ranch, value package, ultimate package etc. Kind of all over the place, but I am just happy to be scheduled.
My Lariat ultimate package said the same thing about the multi contour seat delete, even though MC is not an option with the Lariat ultimate. When I got the window sticker there was no mention of it. It also says Tremor package discount for several items, and I did not get the Tremor package. When the window sticker became available, it was spot on with what I ordered.

The salesman has stressed several times to me that I’m price protected. Here’s to hoping I’m able to close the deal soon…and you as well.
Yep, same song and dance here, but still worried they will try to pull something. My salesman told me a story, complaining about the forums causing problems for dealers. I assume he was talking about you when he said "I had this one customer insisting I change his order to priority 10." God how I love small worlds! I look forward to hearing how long it takes your truck to get from Portland to McMin.

F250 XLT SC 6.2 built 6-16, shipped 6-17. Asked my salesman for my rail car number yesterday and he said he doesn’t know what a VVR is..He’s been selling for 30 years. He’s a decent guy, I blame the dealer and their training. I called FoMo customer service and Rosemary couldn’t provide a railcar number because…..she said it has already been received at the Portland rail destination 50 miles away from my dealer.
It’s sad that the customer can…and has to access more info than the dealer can or will provide. What are they going to do when Ford goes to order only system. Only the informative dealers will survive…as it should be.
I enjoy seeing your updates. It's like looking into my future. I'm glad you truck made It to Portland and hope my isn't to far behind. My experience has been about the same with getting updates form the dealership. I can only assume we have the same salesman. I'm stressed out they are not going to hold up their end of the deal when my truck comes in. You'll Have to let me know how the sales process goes for you.

I received the "Your F350 has shipped" email at 04:30 on 07/04/2022 (central time). Maybe there is hope they will be shipping through the shutdown.

I got the "Built" email last night and the Ford Tracker showed "In Production" and "Built", both with check marks and the date of 7/1/22. Now this morning the tracker is showing "In Production" with no check marks or date. Anyone have that happen or have insight?

Hi Guys..

Not sure if any answer?

not white screen.
I know I know I’m drooling from my new truck
what can I say ?
The "View Online" link is only valid for a couple months. It is a link to a direct copy of what you have in your email and only exists in case you have formatting issues preventing you from viewing the email. I feel you, at least it was something to interact with.

Good point. Silly me for thinking Ford might me ahead of schedule.
