rd2008 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Our GT/CS was built April 5th and as of last week still had not been shipped yet. I would have thought there would be a bit of a delay after the hold was lifted but not this long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Dealership has had a GT Premium Convertible awaiting shipment as long as your GT/CS and a GT Premium Coupe waitin at the plant for about a month now. Both cars are 6-spped manuals. I've contacted Ford's help desk and our Ford Zone Manager and no one can tell me what the reason for the hold is or when the cars will be released for shipping. We went through the same type of delays last year too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went through the same type of delays last year too! That seems much too long to wait. My red GT CS is slated for a 6/2 build date and if they can't deliver it quickly I know I will be looking around for other cars that are now arrieving at dealers lots. The problem is finding exactly what you want since there aren't that many out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011GT Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 That seems much too long to wait. My red GT CS is slated for a 6/2 build date and if they can't deliver it quickly I know I will be looking around for other cars that are now arrieving at dealers lots. The problem is finding exactly what you want since there aren't that many out there. My Candy Red 2011 GT Premium, 6sp, 3.73 had an ETA of 5/29. On 5/30, the dealer told me that they checked and the car had not shipped yet and the ETA was no longer listed. Their Ford rep said they were on a Quality Control hold. Best estimate now is sometime in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice-capades Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I had an interesting conversation with my Ford Zone Manager yesterday regarding the delays in some 2011 Mustangs being released for shipping. As I've written previously, our store has one Mustang GT Premium Convertible that has now been held at the plant for over 2 months now. What I can share here is that approximately 6,000 vehicles including all 2011 Mustang models were held for a minor quality concern. Believe me, it's a minor issue but Ford would not permit the affected vehicles to be shipped as they wanted the vehicles corrected so that they were ready for sale upon arrival at dealerships and wouldn't be subject to any potential recall later on. Congrat's to Ford for being so cautious with vehicle quality! Of the 6,000 vehicles affected by the quality hold, 3,500 have been serviced and released for shipment to dealers with the remaining units to be released by June 20th per Ford's orders to the plant. As such, all delayed units should be delivered to dealers by early July if not sooner. Hope this information helps anyone that's been affected by the quality hold. Again, congrat's to Ford for being so diligent with vehicle quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have it on or before July 9th, 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomber_68 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Our GT/CS was built April 5th and as of last week still had not been shipped yet. I would have thought there would be a bit of a delay after the hold was lifted but not this long. I checked on my new Mustang yesterday. The car was built 5/14 and has missed 2 arrival dates. I was informed by Customer Care that a new arrival date wasn't available, but would be somewhere around "the end of July"! Beginning to wonder if they will throw in a set of snow tires, so I can get it home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your vehicle has been produced, released and is actually in transit your Dealer's Ford Zone Manager can provide the vehicle information (VIN # & Rail Car Information) to the final ramp destination and have it "Hot Listed" at the ramp for expedited delivery to your Dealership.

ice-capades Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Update on stock 2011 Mustang shipping status... 2011 Mustang GT Premium Coupe, Kona Blue, 6-Speed Manual, #400A... Ordered April 7th, Scheduled April 15th, Produced May 13th, Shipped June 28th, Arrived at Intermediate Point (Bingcprs, NY) July 3rd. 2011 Mustang GT Premium Convertible, Black, 6-Speed Manual, #400A... Ordered February 17th, Scheduled February 18th, Produced April 7th. Last "Vehicle Visibility" update was on June 26th showing the car is still at Flat Rock! 2011 Mustang GT Premium Convertible, White, Automatic, #402A California Special... Ordered April 7th, Scheduled April 29th, Produced May 20th, Released May 22nd. Arrived at Junction Point (Bingcprs, NY) on July 2nd. It's just incredible how long it's taking us to get our first 2011 Mustangs! I can certainly understand quality hold issues but this is a repeat of what we went through last year with the 2010 Mustangs. In the Northeast, Mustang sales tend to be seasonal and these delays are costing us business. The other problem is getting the cars delivered from the ramps. We're now looking into sending our own carrier to the ramps to pick up our sold units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
