geost1 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 my dealer also emailed me today about an hour ago saying that it was built; hmmm My dealer told me the same thing a week before my car was actually finished, said that's what Ford told him. I think, don't know for sure just a guess, that our cars get sent to have the accessories and/or special body parts attached after they're built. So in our cases, our cars would have been built and then had the SPORT body trim pieces attached and any accessories installed. Again this is just a guess, but I know that my car was "released" from the factory twice. I also read another post from someone that had SPORT trim on a Escape that had his vehicle sent to a different facility to have that trim installed. :do what: The good new is the car is being worked on and now it's just a matter of time. Soon they'll be shipping it, that's when things really get exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawisTheGameHhH Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 cbyerdman says ETA 10/31; my dealer believes late this week or early next week; i am going to go with the Halloween date; but at least its built FINALLY :happy feet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawisTheGameHhH Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Ford's Customer Service on Twitter said my car's ETA is 10/23; hoping for no delays.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geost1 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Ford's Customer Service on Twitter said my car's ETA is 10/23; hoping for no delays.... Well thanks to cyberdman, I was able to confirm that my dealer had been lying to me the last couple of weeks. :busted: Apparently rather then tell me the truth, he thought a nice story about railcar troubles and dealer reps would placate me. Instead it only pissed me off even more. What part, if any, my dealer played in this delay is up in the air. Yet a MONTH from the time my car was finished until I'm due to take delivery absolute BS!!! :beatdeadhorse: Dude I sincerely hope you get your car on the 23rd, but the biggest thing I've learned from all of this is how these ETA's keep getting pushed back. Hopefully I'm just the exception to the rule, one of the rare horror stories of outrageous order delays. Just try to contain your excitement until the day your car actually arrives, otherwise this process turns into a living hell. :tequila: Oh and when your car does come in don't forget to post a photo, I plan to.

geost1 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) I have been following your tracking thread; not fun; if you are on twitter shoot FordCustService a direct message with your VIN and ask for an update. Thanks for the tip but I've never got into Twitter. This experience has been a bit of a nightmare , but I should have my car this week. :happy feet: Still rather disgusted with Ford, and now my salesman. I'm sure I'll love this car, heavily researched, but will remember this experience when buying my next new vehicle. Suppose Ford could do something to make this right, like throw in an extended warranty, but would really be surprised if they care enough to go that far. Hang in there dude, hopefully we'll both be able to enjoy our cars a little before the snow gets here.

geost1 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys. It was a long wait but worth it in the end. :happy feet: Make sure you both post pics when yours come in. Hey guys one other thing. Also make sure you go over you cars carefully once you get them home, or at the dealership. After getting my car home, I went to adjust the passenger side front seat and found everything to be manual. That didn't seem right to me so I went back to the Ford website and found for the SPORT model the following are listed as "Standard Features": - 10-way power drivers seat and 4-way power passengers seat - Power driver lumbar/passenger recline So after my long wait the factory managed to screw up my order. I'm going to address this with my dealer tomorrow and Ford should make this right. Absolutely love the car, hate the buying experience despite getting a killer deal.

You'll just have to wait until yours comes in, then you can see it, touch it, and smell it. New car smell makes everything nice. :shades: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
