After a few delays to my production week I finally got the email that my production would be the week of July 4th. For the last 10 days it was fun to click the link in that email saying my vehicle "is in production". Today's new email was they are sorry they didn't actually produce my truck and...
So I emailed my dealer asking him why I did not get the email today about my unscheduled Mav. Interestingly, he emailed me back I'm 5 minutes saying I didn't get the email because "you have a build date of 5/30" and gave me my VIN. Why did neither he nor Ford let me know this fairly significant...
No matter how anyone wants to spin this, the Maverick roll out has been an unmitigated failure on Ford's part with seemingly most dealers complicit. All of us can easily understand and forgive the reasons for constraints, delays etc. We all know Ford would prefer to have already built all...
Had an email exchange with my dealer (Mass) today about allocations. He basically said his place gets few allocations for ANY new vehicles these days. He said he can't imagine how Ford thinks this is good way to run it's business. Dealership is pretty good size and has been been around for...
This. What exactly is the update? In fairness it is literally the very first communication I have ever received from Ford or my dealer. I may reply and let them know I long ago gave up on Ford and bought a Ridgeline
Ordered early August hybrid XLT lux.
It is now clear that all those dealers who asked people to switch to EB and all the dealers that told customers their Hybrid won't get built/delivered in 2022 have known things for a while. Likely these dealers have contacts at Ford that leaked info to them. People have been posting those...
Where there's smoke there's fire. My dealer told me long ago they were never going to get all '22 hybrids built. I know a good amount have been built or scheduled but just in the past few days countless people have had their build dates pushed out yet another month. So all these dealers making...
Van Halen's contract riders for shows had a line item "no brown m&ms". If they saw brown m&ms they would tear up the contract figuring if they couldn't get a basic detail like that correct, how many big things did the venue miss.
So this is what I'm doing. Had enough with waiting and also an awful dealer experience. Bought new truck last week. Wondering if when the truck comes into the dealer, would they buy it from me for a few grand over cost so they can resell it? Or even give me a couple grand for me to not take the...
Upgraded my 2010 Ridgeline to a 2018 Ridgeline. Started thinking about it 3 months after no Mav build date, got serious about it after 4 months, and finally pulled the trigger 5 months after my order date having never receiving a single communication from Ford or my dealer.
There's a 100% chance I get the build email today since I decided to go a different route and bought a different truck this week and no longer want the Mav.
Ordered XLT Hybrid in August. Currently drive a 2010 Ridgeline with 145,000 miles. Finally had enough waiting and bought a 2018 Ridgeline yesterday. Just got tired of the way my dealer treated me from the beginning and figured with still no build date or any communication ever from Ford or...
Can't offer a positive, but I'll share that I made a decision in line with the concerns you just listed. After months and months (early August order date) of being skeptical about my dealer, several times being urged to cancel the hybrid order, one time being told my Hybrid won't be built, and...
