jrys Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) 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 Edited December 30, 2009 by jrys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrys Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrys Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) Congrats on your new ride! Maybe I'll receive mine one day too! 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!

Topgun Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Still no new Info from my dealer. Anyone else get anything at all. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrys Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 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.
