"Car ETTX700015 has no status available"

Thanks for any help.

Sometimes when they sit for a while the status goes to that mode. Check again tomorrow and you'll likely have an update.

It then connects the call to the CSX Touch Trace. Then say "location". And then it asks for you to speak the railcar letters and then the numbers.

Mine is in New Boston, MI (Ramp 5P) with no ETA. Guess they're loading it today.

As of Friday, my Mustang is there also. Do you have a VIN? My dealer is saying that they don't have a VIN for me...and that it wont show up until Ford loads it into some other data base. I don't see why they don't have a VIN since the car is built and ready to ship.
