EcapeHybridGuy Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 My ST- Line Elite Hybrid was scheduled for the week of 1/09. I called my dealer last week and was told that the vehicle is built and had an estimated delivery date of 2/18. I called Ford customer service today and was told the vehicle is in Transit. The tracker still shows in-production. I also did not receive any email updates after my scheduled email on 11/17. Will post an update when I get the delivery call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not what I'm wanting to hear but what can we do. I figured something would happen. I tried buying a Maverick and my order has yet to be filled. So I've given up on that. Decided I need an SUV for the height off the ground and have been trying to get a Lexus for over a year now and no luck whatsoever. So I ordered an Escape. Maybe I'm not supposed to buy a new vehicle. I'm about to give up. But not yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll get the bugs out.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D8e2L Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Just a data point and status... Ordered PHEV on 1/27. To date, no confirmation email from Ford. Tried to add trailer package today... while updating, dealer found that hybrid orders (not sure if just PHEV or all hybrids) are not permitted to be changed.

Rangers09 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 DW's PHEV was showing on the tracker with a build date of 10th March. Today the scheduling info was removed from the tracker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtLip Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I went to the Tracker twice this morning and the Scheduling information still showed 02/27/2023. After seeing the posts above I went back to check again and it no longer shows a Scheduled Date. So it looks like they are removing the Scheduling for Hybrids (Not PHEV) as well. Back to the drawing board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbank14 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Hybrid also no longer shows a scheduled date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCurvedLimos Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) Bummer everyone, sorry to hear about the dates being removed. Mine wasn't shown yet to start with, but I was hopeful for you all. I got another 45-day "supply chain challenges" email from Ford today.

Aguy Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Yup! Mine removed too. We'll be halfway through the year before I get it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elguapo99 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Just great. My PHEV Premium is shown as "In Production" this week (2/17/23). No change as of yet on the Ford scheduling site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaddy0122 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I had a scheduled date of 2/27 that was moved to 3/3, now my date has disappeared and just shows that my order has been placed…ugh. Hopefully once they get production going again my date will come back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtLip Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Just checked and my Hybrid has now been Scheduled once again. As of today 2/17 it is Scheduled for Production on 3/15. There is hope again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was your original schedule date? @escape20 Which time? Dealer told me 3/13 and gave me the VIN Then it went to 3/1, 3/2 and ended up 2/27. Then Ford stopped and it went blank. Now it's 3/15. I have been trying to buy a Hybrid SUV from Toyota, Lexus, Escape and any other manufacturer since March 2022. I ordered a Maverick back on July 2021 and they never built it and Ford still sends me emails they haven't scheduled it yet. So I'll be surprised if I get the Escape.

Elguapo99 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Looks like LAP will be shutdown for another week (until 2/27) due to instrument cluster software issues. https://www.wdrb.com/news/business/fords-louisville-assembly-plant-cancels-work-for-second-straight-week/article_d19fc610-af05-11ed-9d32-5384deed0bb3.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryG Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 My salesman Ray Bowen in Lake Park FL 561-281-7699 just got a new '22 Escape plug-in loaded in. I'm waiting on an order for a '23 but this one is nice if anyone is interested. I think they want sticker at $46,800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was well under MSRP. Their website lists multiple PHEV’ s under MSRP. Great folks to deal with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mullinax is the best around here and Ray is the best salesman I've had in all my years of buying Fords. I just test drove this one they just got but they can locate them at their other stores if they have them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevedbvik1 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 We’re from Michigan spending a couple months down here. Started looking around down here when it was becoming more obvious that our 23 order was going to be long or non existent. Easiest car purchase we’ve ever made. 1 hour ago, SgtLip said: @Stevedbvik1 I've ordered my Escape Hybrid through Mullinax in Kissimmee, FL.

SgtLip Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 UPDATE. 22 February 2023 I checked the Tracker this morning and I was still Scheduled for 3/15/2023. I just checked again and it is GONE!!! Nothing. A Big Blank spot. ?? So what does this mean? They announced this morning another week of down time but 3/15 was still showing. The week delay should not have hurt my date. But now they scratched it completely. Does that mean the software issue is more difficult than they thought? AMAZING!!!
