HoustonPerson Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Anybody know what the HOLD on F150's is all about and when they'll be released to be shipped? I would guess they are trying to fix the “intermittent surging” nightmare (with and without clogged left cat) that the latest TSB is supposed to help? Consider yourself lucky if it resolves the problem. I am still trying to find a dealer that knows anything about it, and can fix it! And my truck is just 3 months old!

Ford850 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 More than likely it they were on hold to get the reflash or other updates from TSB 12-2-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crew man Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yes, with the timing of that TSB it certainly makes sense. Had my dealer check with the regional Ford rep who stated "still waiting on a rail car" Ford Customer Service gives the very generic answer of a delivery for a factory ordered vehicle can take up to twelve weeks....blah blah blah... The frusterating part is my dealer has a very similar FX4 to the one I ordered, that was built 6 days before mine...sitting on his lot.... Don't mind the waiting, but the communication from Ford sucks...just tell me the truth, Ford is holding the vehicle for a TSB.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 My 150 was build on Feb 2 and is still sitting at Dearborn Truck (3weeks now ). Others both before and after mine was build have long been delivered. Wouldn't all need the update, i wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crew man Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 You would think so...unless only retail orders are getting updates at the plant and stock orders are up to the dealer to do... This waiting sucks, reading everyones posts who have their new rides sucks too.... Ten weeks and counting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opps...missed your post from yesterday Are you having it tracked? Edited February 23, 2012 by Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crew man Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Nope don't have it yet.... Doesn't appear to be close either. The dealer checks everyday The latest update I got was on Feb. 21 and thats what I posted. I guess once a rail car is assigned then it can be tracked but not so much when its waiting for a railcar Any updates on yours ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crew man Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 That sucks man... Also found out from my dealer (this may just relate to Canadians) but all FoMoCo vehicles go to a central distribution hub in Chicago before heading out to various parts of country...even if the vehicle was built in Canada...Go figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Does Anybody know what the hold is about on some F150's? . Dealer cant find out what the issue is. Guess whoever he's talking with don't tell him. My truck was build Feb 2 and is still sitting at Dearborn Assy. Thats 4 Weeeeeks. Would surely appreciate it, if somebody would tell me.!

crew man Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Pete, My truck is finally moving after sitting on ramp 59 at least 4 weeks. Ford won't say and dealers don't know... Reading on some of the other forums, there were ALOT of trucks sitting for weeks on end....no reason given The plant cranks out about 1300 F-150's a day... If all those needed PCM re-flashes for things like SYNC, Ecoboost issues etc. Its only my .02 cents though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcwg Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 man that doesnt sound good i just let go of my old car on a trade in and am carless until the new one comes hope it comes soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor SVT Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Here's my story, Raptor blue flame supercab built 2/26/12 ETA 2/20/12 never showed then ETA 2/22 never showed. Called customer service on Mon. 3/5 they called back 3/7 said truck is on hold don't know why. No date for release. I asked why my dealer got their Raptor Red Crew that was built the same day as mine and got delivered on 2/18. Well it must not be affected. Why are we the chosen ones?????

wag7891 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Mine was built and shipped 3-1. Made it to the intermediate point via rail, and was put on hold there. Can't get an answer as to why. Waiting for it to be released to ship the last 2 hours on a transport. Can't get an answer from my dealer. Original ETA was 3-12. Updated is 3-27...we will see if that happens.

cloe15 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I surely hope that I do not have the same issues, my truck was built on Apr. 23 with and ETA of May 07. As of now it is still sitting at the dearborn factory awaiting shipment. no new ETA as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
