Wow thats just sad.
Thanks! Worst part is that my VW died in November and the Mrs totaled her car in December… so being without a vehicle for this long has been a real inconvenience. I even had to call off work when my carpool ride takes the day off too.
Mine was built on 12/09 and made it to Illinois on the Union Pacific on 01/11. It then sat for two days before being transferred to Norfolk Southern. It took another five days for it to get to New Jersey. It was unloaded in a day and has been sitting in the auto rail yard since for its last 36 mile drive to the dealership. Hoping maybe sometime this week for it to get trucked to the dealership, but they don't know why it's taking so long either.
Fingers crossed that we both see our new toys make it to the dealerships this week!
Not that I would expect a lot but have you tries the chat feature or called the 800 number with all the dates you posted.
I understand that there is a shortage of drivers but the trains of autoracks full of vehicles still keep coming. Hopefully they aren't forgetting about the vehicles that came in first and are parked way out in left field before trucking the ones that were just unloaded first. Damn, it's only 36 miles from the dealership - a gallon and a half of gas - give me a fifth wheel auto carrier trailer and I'll go and get three of them.
I have called 3x times now and all ford says is yeah we see it’s sitting at the rail yard waiting for carrier to pick up.
United Road seems to throw darts when selecting what to haul. When mine got hauled up it along with some Escapes and a Mach e had only been at the yard for a day, but a Bronco and a few other vehicles had already been there over a week and got skipped over.
Yes I've called the 800 number and all I was able to get is that it is enroute to the dealer. Fortunately it does NOT fall into the dates of the fuel tank recall. It was built on 12/07 and then went into Chip Hold until 12/24 and then didn't have the SIBL installed until 12/28 and was finally marked as built on 01/04. All the Ford tracker shows is "Shipped" with the ETA now 02/06.
I feel for you. I know Have to wait this would weigh on me.
Wouldn’t mind if it wouldn't be needed. My car died in November and the Mrs totaled her car in December.
Ours was built on December 17th, and ours only sat in the rail yard one week. We took possession of the truck on January 17th. We ordered a hybrid. One short trip around the city of 6 miles and we averaged 49.7 mpg on city streets. Using a mix of highway and city, about 36 mpg.
