There really is no general idea to provide. Lots of folks from June still haven't heard a peep, other folks that just ordered a cpl months ago are starting to take delivery.
Even once you get picked to get built, sometimes that process takes 2 days, sometimes it takes north of a month or more...
Absolutely!
I mean, at this point, nothing would surprise me, so it could be chips. But I still think that is one of the least likely explanations. Far more likely to be something resembling an early recall or just massive shipping problems, IMO.
Even with a Lariat Luxury EB I'm coming in at about half of what I'd planned to spend on my next vehicle, so Lariat was absolutely "worth it" to me. Really, I'd say worth is a pretty subjective construct.....ohhhh, wait, now I think I understand.
This was actually just the 674th post...
So, if you believe this was an intentional move by the dealer, how do you explain all the Ford reps that have told forum members that it's "a known issue that Ford often doesn't send out notifications even when the email address is provided?"
Is this some grand conspiracy which Ford Customer...
As someone that's likely with this same situation (but who has a salesperson that is 100% clueless, so I can't say for sure) I partially agree.
On the one hand, yes. I'd definitely rather it be sorted out before I take delivery.
OTOH, with my modules going active back on 10/12 and only being a...
I spent hours with Ford's Customer Service folks back in August trying to confirm whether my email address was attached the order and every rep I talked to said the same thing: "We have no visibility to that and can neither confirm nor deny what email addresses/customers names are attached to...
Oh, I suppose I could but there's not much of a point now, I don't think. My Mav has already been scheduled, built and fallen into one of the "Ford tracking black holes". At this point, it's gonna show up when it's gonna show up and there aren't likely to be anymore emails coming to me anyway. 🤷♂️
Anyone complaining about this pricing OBVIOUSLY didn't look at the window sticker. They're throwing in a free front license plate bracket for Christ's sake.
YOU THINK THOSE COME CHEAP?!?!?!?!?
As has been mentioned, there's definitely a lot of this going around; I ordered on 7/14 and have still never received a single email from Ford. I spent hours on the phone/chat with Ford back in August trying to get my name added to my order (assuming the salesperson missed it), so I could get...
Unless something has changed, no you can't.
My order was submitted on 7/14 and even though my Mav has been built since 10/12, I've still never received a single email from Ford. I didn't really want to be at the mercy of my salesperson for information, so I tried...repeatedly, to work with Ford...
I'd wait until it's at the dealer AND you've had a chance to give it the once over and confirm that you're going to take delivery.
Given some of the weird delays recently, I'll be using a much finer tooth comb to go over mine when it shows up than I would have otherwise. Nothing would be worse...
Quite a few of us in the "October builds that time forgot" category with you. No one seems to have a clue what happened, where they are or when they'll show up.
Well, yeah. I'd imagine the vast majority of Escape owners would say the same. Including me, up to now. This is my 3rd Escape and it's the the first one I've owned with paint problems, the previous ones just had electrical gremlins. At least paint is a straightforward, one time fix!
The paint...
100% agree. Aside from a couple rock chips and the odd scuff, the paint on my 2002 Vette still looks damn near showroom perfect. I don't like most GM vehicles but they do seem to know how to paint a car.
