Salva Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Heh. I wold not be surprised if 2.0 drivers tended to be more aggressive. I know I would be one... I had a hard time keeping the hybrid in EV mode last night driving around It's a great car. I'll post pictures when I get up on my computer instead of using an ipad app. Comments have been nothing it positive, and it is a substantial upgrade in tech and luxury over our 2001 civic ex. Congrats raleel! Your car finally made it!I remember when we were all tracking builds and shipments back in Nov/Dec. For a while I thought your car and mine were jumping on the same train from Mexico (actually more like hoping, yours was built a week earlier than mine, if I remember right). But it's here, I'm sure you will love it, and a few extra weeks wait will soon be distant memories. Enjoy! Do post pictures. I don't know where you are in WA, but perhaps we will bump into each other soon. I've seen 5 other '13 Fusions on the road this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably bump into me, as I come up to Seattle pretty regularly. Bordeaux red. Bald guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSKershaw Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Just got off the phone with my dealer... again. My original order hasn't moved from Mexico yet. The second order had an issue so it never passed the unscheduled clean status. So today they ordered another one (3rd ones the charm?) that they will forward to Ford Canada to get it produced with the highest priority. I don't expect anything on the new order this week, but maybe in a week or two it will be scheduled. I'm currently looking at late February to mid-March for one of the cars. Compensation for this delay is being discussed and so far an extended warranty has been something mentioned on their end. I am still getting my A-Plan pricing even though it's a new order. We will see what happens when one of the cars are finally on the train... Edited January 28, 2013 by JSKershaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barsoom Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 What's the consensus on whether it is better to wait for the reordered car or take the original car? Is the original order a disassembled/reassembled car using flawed parts? Is it better to wait for the new car that went through a corrected assembly line? My reorder is scheduled for build next Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiblue2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Don't count on compensation. I was offered maintenance free for three years and now that the car is just days away they are ignoring my calls and FB messages just giving me a run around in general. Basically acting as if nothing where offered ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barsoom Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 My reorder window sticker is showing up now for a Monday build. Comparing the two window stickers, I see two changes: 1. Exhaust tips changed from Chrome to Bright. 2. Air bag changed from Driver Knee to Driver/Pass Knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncosCA Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm happy to say that mine has FINALLY arrived! Got in late last night, and I went and picked it up on my lunch break. Not sure how they managed to get 9 miles on it before I picked it up, but either way I'm happy. My drive home netted me 36 mpg... not bad for a first time hybrid driver. And SOOOO much better than the 14mpg I'm used to on my Jeep Couldn't be happier with it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broncosCA Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 It's beautiful! Thank you! Lord knows I waited for it long enough. All I can say to those still waiting is hang in there. It's definitely a great car so far! Can't wait to get to know it better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSKershaw Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 WOW! My car has finally found it's way on a train! So my ETA is now February 15th. Let's see if I get it sooner or later...

hermans Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Thank you for the remorse... Well mine is probably going to be here by Tuesday !!! Are you tracking the railcar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expresspotato Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Cyberdman didn't provide the railcar # for some reason... It was last seen outside of Chicago IL. Its official ETA is Feb 6 but I have a felling it could be here Monday or Tuesday - it depends on the new train, customs and the truck to take it from the rail depot to the dealer. Soon... My old car just sold today - so I'll actually be car less for a day or two (hopefully not longer). I haven't taken public transit in years! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pers69 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yea - there is an 800 to call - saw a thread or post on one of these forums ... will likely turn up if you use the search. Some folks were calling twice a day and following their car in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_h Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Are you tracking the railcar? Are you kidding? His locator thread has had 1,877 views, we should ALL track his railcar!! In Transit - Shipped Rail - Railcar # ETTX906756 (Ferrocarril Mexicano S.a. De C.v. ) Ramp 54, Hermosillo Asy, SO Jan-30-2013, 19:00 MT. ETA Feb-15-2013. Here are instructions that I copied from a prior post and saved to an email in case I needed it for my shipment, have seen comments from others that yes it works, so give it a try. Here's how to track your ETTX railcar. 1. Call CSX at 1-800-235-2352 2. When prompted for location or weight, press "1" on your phone for location. 3. When prompted for the car initials, say ETTX then wait for the next prompt. OR key in 32-81-81-92 (for ETTX)(letter and position on your phone) 4. When prompted for the car number, say or key in your 6-digit ETTX car number 5. When prompted for next car say DONE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chalupacabra Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I've been following this thread closely. Lurking as a visitor. My company ordered my Fusion through Enterprise fleet July 19th. (I know production did not start until the following month). As of today I still have not received word my car is ready, although I was told by our fleet manager that it was "in shipping" on Jan 9th and should be delivered by the end of January. Internal fleet manager won't give me the VIN to track it myself and it altogether unhelpful. I'm ready for my Fusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
