captinkirk Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Great news, thanks for sharing! It'll be there next week. You're lucky! The problem is that I need it before next week. Will be out of town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerrorTodd Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 TerrorTodd,Well I may be nuts. But hoping more then expecting. But yes, it probably is too soon. Hopefully next week. I did find a number for Ford Cust Service, and they checked. No VIN yet. I guess I have trust issues with my dealer that they only check if I harrass them. It would be nice to get an email from my sales guy saying he checked and there wasn't a VIN yet. Then I would happy. But I know it will show up eventually. I just need to get a dealer code, as then at least I can get updates from Cyberman. And it seems my dealer doesn't want to give that out. The dealer code should be on your DORA or Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastronaut Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I was told this morning via information directly from Ford's regional office that there is a backlog of 7,000 units at the Fusion plant and that they expect all vehicles to be shipped by April 15th. I certainly hope so for all of you waiting for your retail ordered vehicles as well as for dealers trying to get inventory in stock to maintain the great sales rate! Thank you for providing such valuable information to us anxious buyers. Much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malibu3105 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Joveri, What site? I'm looking on the build your own page but don't see it. TerrorTodd, very true. Think I will drop by after work tonight and try and get a copy of the DORA. I asked once, but they sort of act like it's top secret. My guess is that if I show up I may be able to get a copy of it.

I certainly hope so for all of you waiting for your retail ordered vehicles as well as for dealers trying to get inventory in stock to maintain the great sales rate! 7000 units in 7 production days, I hope they have a lot of empty railcars standing by. CSX says that a railcar can hold 10 to 15 vehicles. That's between 700 and 467 railcars required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malibu3105 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Well, if I click on Support to the right of Ford, and go to the bottom, there is a "Live Chat" - 'Get one-on-one SYNC support right now' Is that what your talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo358 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) They are offline now. Its right beside change vehicle emblem when they are there, and goes away when they aren't. Where the link takes you is what I always use. Keep an eye on it at different times during the day, you will see it there. I see change vehicle, but above that is 2013 Fusion, above that Cars, above that Ford. Maybe I need glasses ?...

Toz Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 That is awesome!!! I am still waiting on a VIN, jealous!!! lol. I tried tweeting Ford for info, but they are not responding. Need to email my dealer again, but he always acts like I am nuts for expecting a VIN this soon, he makes it sound like it can take a few weeks. going on the 8th week, no VIN, no nuthing! One more week and I think I am going to scrub the order and start looking at replacing my truck instead of my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsellar Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Does anyone know a way to track railcars through BNSF instead of CSX or UP? My shipment has gone to BNSF, and it's been "bad ordered" My ETA has gone to TBD, with my car stuck in Barstow CA. ugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy314 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Ooooops! Sorry for posting the outdated pricing information! I just went back to FMCDealer.com and went digging further to get the most recent announcement that was released on February 28th which is attached! Hope that this gives you all more accurate answers to the recent pricing actions! Is there a newer one since we are in April now? Maybe something mentioning power seats?

One more week and I think I am going to scrub the order and start looking at replacing my truck instead of my car Toz, Maybe tell the dealer your no longer interested and try another dealer.... Seems like if they really wanted to they could get some sort of resolution. There should at least be an explanation. I do see others on the spreadsheet without VINs but I don't know if they got them and are just not asking me to update. But if it's correct, there are a few.

Looking at the rear photo, it appears that the driver's side of the trunk lid is slightly mismatched. You might want to have the hinge aligned by the dealer.

You might want to have the hinge aligned by the dealer. I think that's my main peeve about the car, the way they designed that crooked smile / overbite trunk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaHyTi Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I seem to have a strange situation (or maybe not) my car was on a CSX train until Tucson, then transfered to UP, I could track on both phone systems. On 04/2 it seemed to get stuck in West Colton, CA....until yesterday 4/4 when both CSX and UP reported it as no info. Got an update from Cyberdman yesterday, he has the rail car now on Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad, was north of Barstow, CA. I cannot find any info on how to track a car on BNSF. I tried a phone number I found online but you needed to be a registered customer to use. I searched the blue oval forums, I am stumped. Help?

Malibu3105 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Looks like I was wrong on the 'Send to iPhone' app. It's just a page that talks about it. It may not even exist. So, maybe back to the drawing board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked mine up today too, On the way home, I got 32 MPG, then 41, then 30 something, then my wife drove it for 5 miles and she got 44! I was driving really slow too, and she was going faster 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
