There is a larger hold then just Brembo, I cant discuss it here. Early cars are not shipping for a little while.

 

Interesting.. the Ford number is MY desk number at work 2-3673 is my internal extension... lol... Yeah, not worth posting, i know..

 

More time to save some coin... Look at the up side Guys!



Stinger, is there "any" type of ETA. Are they thinking days to resolve or Weeks/months?

 

Not months.

The problem is resonably serious, but identified, and corrected for future cars. Now the affected cars must be identified and dealt with.

cars that were order as stock units are affected.

 

I will also try and verify more details of the hold. I don't know what I'll be able to discuss though.

 

probably not much lolz

 

I know all the details but I can NOT discuss it on a public forum such as this.

 

understood, but what you can do is change your avatar. That thing keeps cracking me up and my co-workers are starting to look at me funny

 

No Problem Stinger, thanks!

I just got off with Customer Service... They told me my Shleby is in the Body Shop being painted right now. Not sure if I got in before or after the issue was identified... Either way, it will not have the problem when I start it up and leave Jeff!

 

I am disappointed, but it is awesome to hear from an insider. My dealer hasn't called me about anything regarding my order, but they are probably in the dark as well.

 

This is not being communictaed down to the dealer level

 

I'd be curious to know if it's a parts problem or an assembly problem.

 

A lot of this stuff dealers never hear about unless they actively call and inquire. Guys like Jeff and Brian do, cause they are car guys... Most salesmen (rightfully so) have your sale and need to move on to the next to put money in their pocket/food on the table. So, every last update and detail, while they will get it when you ask, aren't going to spend potential deal making time. I don't blame them on this... Ford should send the updates, even though they will need to be vague (for the same reasons Stinger and Overboost are hush hush). I can see Ford not sharing the information these guys know with the general dealers. It would get out from someone. And it most likely something that isn't worthy of major (negative) publicity, but if leaked to the press would surely go that way in this current market. The press would probably call Ford the new toyota, for an issue they found on a car that hasn't been released yet, and will surely be resolved before the car is... /soapbox

 

Motor, tranny, ?????.

Please say it's something with the rear camera or the heated seats, or the security system, so I don't need to worry about it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

you dont need to worry about anything. Thats why they held the cars to start with and EVERY car will be 100% before it leaves AAI.

 

I think that's the whole point of non-disclosure. If he said its a motor problem, even if it was something small, then you'd tell your friends. Then Camaro5 would find out and blow it out proportion. Soon enough MotorTrend would be running an article about all the motor problems on the new 5.0.

Every new model of every car ever has had issues. Its just a matter of what point of QC they get caught. And we probably never even hear of 99% of them.

 

I like you.

 

I heard it's a problem with the Race Red GTs with manual transmission. Specifically the one's getting 3.73 gears and Brembos due to something about how the line works.

 

THE SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING!

*Runs around in a circle*
*Hides under his desk*

Jeff, call me when I can get my car. I'll just be sitting under my desk here with my trusty flashlight and my bottled water. And my helmet. Sucking my thumb.

 

Lol. And only the ones built between 10:45am and 11:02am? And only when Manny was on his shift?
