wsg32 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I saw my 09 FEH LTD today, IT DOES ACTUALLY EXIST!!!! :happy feet: My company purchases thru a fleet company and the fleet department of the delivering dealer is closed on the weekend. It's funny, nobody from the dealership bothered to let me know that it was in. (although they only make $150 on the entire transaction) I was in the neighborhood of the dealership this afternoon and stopped by. We walked their vehicle lot and there it was with a nice bright red tag hanging from the rearview mirror SOLD (to me). Anyhow, with any luck I'll pick it up on Monday if they get the paperwork taken care of, otherwise I'll have to wait another week, until I'm back in town. Keep your fingers crossed! This must mean the bottle neck is finally clearing up and the recently produced vehicles are starting to arrived at the dealers. (Mine was produced on 9/11/08 and the dealer is in Southern CA, in Long Beach, CA) More to follow.... Update.....picked it up today. Still trying to figure out all the bells and whistles on the Nav system. The car drives interestingly....not as quiet as I thought when the gas engine is running. All and all, I'm impressed and looking forward to getting to know this vehicle better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmorriso Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Mine seems to be taking "the great Midwestern USA whistle stop train tour" on its way to the dealer in Sterling, VA, as shown in the attached PDF which is a screen scraping of part of an email I just received from my dealer. :stats: Ford_Escape_Status_2008_10_14.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Norfolk Southern's web site, Customers --> Customer Reference Guide --> Monitoring Shipments for more information. Tip: speak the railcar number rather than use the keypad on the telephone.

Ours made it to the dealership yesterday. Not sure when we will be picking it up, dealership has to order a drivers side mirror that got cracked somewhere between KCAP and NJ. They say the part might be in tommorow or Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatwaggon Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I picked mine up today from Sunnyvale Ford in San Jose, CA. Those guys are surprisingly painless and helpful. The internet sales manager that I've been in contact with even drove with me to my car rental place to drop off my rental car. Now that's service. That last bit earned me as a repeat customer.

vichybrid Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Mine came in yestesrday. Was due Sept 22nd... ast in Kansas City until Oct 8th... weird.. but, it is here and it is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricC5Vett Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Mine came in yesterday & I picked it up today. I'm really happy with it, it's awesome although 5 months was a long time to wait for a car. The electronics in this thing are very state of the art and high tech but will take me a while to figure out. Right now, having a problem getting it to pull all the contacts out of my Palm Treo. It drives impressively and feels nice & tight, overall very well put together, decent quality fit & finish. They sure have come a long way. AND, they didn't charge me the $1,030 increase, they agreed that they were price protected and filed for the credit on their end. They couldn't argue with all the documentation I got from this forum, thanks guys... I will report back soon, gotta go play with it some more now... :happy feet: :happy feet: :happy feet: :happy feet: :happy feet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmorriso Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 According to the Norfolk Southern railway tracking system, the railcar carrying my vehicle arrived in Walbridge, Ohio at 9:13 PM last night. That means it’s in the suburbs of Toledo for all intents and purposes. The system said the next stop is Fostoria, Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow39 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 My FEH arrived late last night at my dealer here in Milton, ON, Canada. After they have completed their PDI should be able to pick it up on Thursday or Friday. Its nice to see that everyone's FEH is finally making it to the dealers, its been a long wait for us all.

twolostminds Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Picked up our FEHL last night!!! :happy feet: :happy feet: The Black Pearl Slate with Stone leather is amazing and the tushie warmers are wonderful. I was surprised by the engine noise at first then realized that we were noticing it because the road noise is so much less compared to our old truck. The engine seemed to be running a little bit more than I thought it would be but then I looked at our fuel economy for the 40+ mile trip home from the dealership. 37.4 MPG!!! I'm definately not going to complain with this kind of fuel economy. :shades: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmorriso Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 The railcar carrying my FEHL left Walbridge, OH at 9:38 AM this morning. Next stop is Fostoria, OH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmorriso Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 (edited) As of 6:25 PM today, the railcar was in Newcastle, PA. "Inch by inch, mile by mile, gunna get my SUV in a while..." The railcar carrying the vehicle arrived in Cumberland, Maryland at 4:35 AM today. The Norfolk Southern tracking system did not mention "final destination" like it was a few days ago.

fmorriso Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 The rail portion of the journey should be over because the train arrived in Jessup, Maryland at 11:42 AM today. I would assume it will be off loaded onto a car carrier truck and taken to the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatwaggon Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 (edited) Just a question out of curiosity: why do you think anyone here really wants to know the inch by inch progression of your vehicle like we actually care for that kind of detail? Most people have the common sense to post "hey guys! My car arrived today! Yay", whereas you on the other hand inundate this thread with "now it's at this place..... now it's at this place..... now it's at this place.....". I would try to ignore your posts if I could, but unfortunately I don't know what kind of post I'm reading until I click the thread and scroll down to see your posts. What a drag.

Or some similar Barry White tune. :reading: Let me see now, the purpose of the thread appears to have something to do with finding out where various Ford Escape Hybrid are, particularly, but not exclusively those that went into some sort of temporary hold back at KCAP in mid-September. I post where my hybrid is to help people understand where a vehicle goes as it leaves KCAP and heads towards the East coast. One person in this forum has an issue with posts that are clearly on topic. Conclusion: dude, you have some serious psychological issues. Please seek professional help. It's not too late.

Meatwaggon Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) I post where my hybrid is to help people understand where a vehicle goes as it leaves KCAP and heads towards the East coast. I don't believe that for a second. Everybody has their own destination, travel time, and route. The only people who may even be remotely interested in your route/time are people who live in your city or near your city. And I'm pretty sure even they don't need your queer minute-by-minute updates of where your car is. Speaking of psychological issues, I'm fairly certain based on this thread as well as the other one (you know the one), you are not in a position to accuse other people of having psychological issues. I think you crave attention and/or infamy and think this is the way to get it. Edited October 18, 2008 by Meatwaggon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax and just post when it arrives and how much you like it. Note: This does not mean post here about ANY shananigans the dealership pulls on you.
