VIN, Build, Delivered: The 2012 Edition
#1321
Not fun at all, nothing from the dealer either who told me last monday may 2 that my car was on the train...Now I know it was not. This is getting even more "absolutely ridiculous" as if it was possible.

Doh! This is bad news. The wait is endless, it's crazy, I ordered the car in november 2010, then they told me Sterling Gray was discontinued, had to order again in Kona, then the delays at the plant, then the delays for delivery, and the icing on the cake, they reintroduce the Sterling Gray for job 2.

Not happy at all here either. Ordered 1/21/11 , order rejected cause after sitting in the system as unscheduled clean, Ford decided that it no longer wanted to build yellow blaze cars with a leather interior and booted my order. Finally the car is built 4/21/11, and has been sitting at the factory ever since, while cars built before and after mine have been shipped. Now they are not shipping at all? I could have walked from CT to MI and driven the dang thing home quicker. Rediculous is not even close to describing this experience.

This is getting to be too much,WTF Ford!!! My car was built last Wednesday 5/4 and I hoped it was going to be shipped today. My dealer said ETA was 5/16 and he said to take that with a grain of salt. I guess he was right!

I just got my car last week. Between the paint shortage, the electronics package shortage and the numerous holds, I am really glad it did not take longer. I feel for you all still waiting. I waited from nov till may. Having just the right car was well worth it though. Hope you all get yours soon.

There's an issue with the fuel tanks on the F-150's. Didn't hear exact details or years involved. I wonder if Ford is checking for that problem on the Stangs with this current delay of shipping. Whatever it is, I hope it's taken care of and we all get a well built car.

Well my dealer said my eta changed from 5/8 ( which didn't make sense anyways cause it was Sunday) to 5/10. Then deysha responded to my pm and said that the car was built but the eta hadn't been updated. All of this info was reported to me today 5/9

Ordered mine Feb 1. It is supposed to be in transit but my dealer said they cannot tell me where it is at once it is on the truck. We will see if it arrives this Thursday or not.

It sounds like they held things up to check on a possible problem. Whether its the Brakes from the MT article on the BOSS or some other issue I dont fault FORD for trying to do the right thing. I am just frustrated after waiting so long. I asked FORD in Dec when to order if I wanted it by Mid April. They said late Jan. So I ordered 1/3 just to give it some cushion. I wanted to take the car on a trip Im taking on 5/16. My ETA is 5/15....now don't know if I will even see the car before I leave

Hopefully we'll all get some news as to what is going on. I think that is what most of us are craving at the moment.

Yea whether we like it or not all of our cars will get to our dealers when they get there and there isn't a darn thing any of us can do about it.
I do feel for those who have waited much longer then me. I'd like to get my car but it's not really a big deal if I have to wait an extra week or two to get it. (I would like to get the code off of the ecu though so I could get my tuner combo ordered. )

I hate to say it 12GTBLK, but I doubt you will see it by the time you want to leave. Our ETA is tomorrow, 5/10, and it still isn't even on a rail car yet. Five days once loaded on the rail car, providing all the stars are aligned, is the best case for us to take delivery. It will likely be more like seven days once our car finally gets on the train.
Hopefully we'll all get some news as to what is going on. I think that is what most of us are craving at the moment.
