escape20 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I have been watching the ford inventory site which is usually pretty accurate. I checked my area. and i also checked in the area of the escape plant and not one of the built escapes say in transit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHEV or Hybrid? My current theory is their having part shortages for PHEV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i got my sticker back in early Feb before the plant closed. According to our system my escape won’t be actually released to the rail until March 25th. It does seem like the april 11th date is fairly accurate given the other escapes I’m seeing in our system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must still be holding them at the plant i hope it does not hold up mine on April 17th build date Did your sticker change with a new blend date on it?

MrCurvedLimos Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 PHEV Premium, original build week 3/13, then changed to 4/24, now 5/1 according to my dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escape20 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 How frustrating Ford needs to get its act together They had escapes on the road almost a year ago, and they just find out a month ago there is a software problem. They should build prototypes and let average people drive them, for a few months. Someone that puts a lot of miles on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More time to save up money at least. Also looks like the tax credit refund change still hasn't happened so hopefully that balances the cost a little bit, as long as there are no changes by the time I finally receive this thing.

Bigboybobs Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 FYI there is a panoramic vista sunroof shortage on new escapes. Any orders that are not scheduled yet may have a longer delay if they’re included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started at Feb 20th and has been pushed several times including having the schedule dropped then re-scheduled. It’s been April 12 for a couple weeks. Like I said.

swan Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 My order for an Escape Hybrid was placed on 9/23/22. On 1/17/23 I was notified that my production date was scheduled for 2/13/23. When I checked the web site today, all it said was that my order is “confirmed. It will then be scheduled and placed in the first available production week.” So I have gone backwards from being “scheduled” to merely “order confirmed.” Just another piece of data for this forum.

The tracking system is crap. Use the chat feature on the ford website and they will give you the real date. I bet it may even be in production, all of the dates were moved up by at least 4 weeks.

escape20 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 My lease runs out April 4th, I just called ford credit today and extended it 1 month from 39 to 40 months. Hopefully that is enough since i have a build week of April 20th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers09 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Just received an update, DW's Escape PHEV again has a Scheduled Day - 20th April. Initially scheduled 6th March, then 27th March, so hopefully this is 3rd time lucky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
