Ford Tracker?

Recommended Posts

It's now been over two weeks since I was able to track my built 2022 F150.  It's maddening that resource's can not be allocated by Ford to resolve this or even provide an acknowledge ofthe problem.  I'm not an IT or programming specialist but this is 2021 and it's not ground breaking tech.  Consumer's expect a better purchasing experience than this.

In 1995 I ordered my wife a mini van from Chrysler.  Salesman told us it would be about 8 weeks and he would call us in about 6 weeks to update us.  Chrysler sent us a postcard to acknowledge and thank us for the order and confirming they had built it later.  We took delivery at about 7 weeks and were very happy with the process.  We had the experience we were told we would have and were pleased.

Your dealer has all the same info you were getting from the tracker (more actually) so why aren’t you asking them?  Make them do their job.

You do realize this is t 1995?  Pre pandemic you would have had the same experience on your F150.  Supply chain issues are affecting every mfr not just Ford.

Pandemic has nothing to do with the tracking system.. not complaining about supply chain issues as I am understanding of that.  Complaining about a tracking system that has been down for weeks.  If you have not seen the email customers get to confirm orders, they give us a hyperlink button to "check the progress" anytime.  It's a experience we are told we have but it's not working and no one seems to care.  There's no supply chain issue on information is there?

By my calendar it's late 2021 and providing customers with information on their $65,000 plus purchase should be easy to do - and not impacted at all by a pandemic supply chain issue.  All I saying in the 1995 reference is my expectations were met and the company didn't offer anything they couldn't deliver.

Pre pandemic you would have also had your ordering expectations met.  It would have been scheduled, built and delivered in 6-8 weeks.

 

You’re missing the point on tracking status.  Just because the tracking site isn’t working doesn’t mean you can’t get status.  Your dealer has 24x7 access to order status.  And you bought it from the dealer not directly from Ford.  Make your dealer do their job and provide status if the tracker is down.  That’s what you’re paying them to do.

Unbelievable! How many times, in numerous threads, do we have to tell members about Dealers having 24/7 access to Vehicle Visibility and other resources available to provide the information customers require? 

 

Unfortunately, it appears that it's just easier to whine and complain here and commiserate with others that want to share the same. We do the best we can to provide the best, most accurate information available but it just seems, all too often, that it's never good enough. Dealers complain too but Ford makes it nearly impossible to communicate with anyone that can make a difference. Welcome to "Corporate America" where in many cases projects or needs that to be addressed are pushed aside or delayed in order to protect job security.
