I agree. I think I only saw one person mention their vehicle was being inspected for 'engine whine', not the entire production line.

So...assuming that the rumor that they're not shipping due to a 5.0 engine inspection is true, does that mean that if we ordered a V6 that it wouldn't be affected you think?
It would seem a bit dumb to hold V6s if it was just a 5.0 problem but maybe that's just me.

No one, including FCS, has confirmed there is a shipping hold due to engine issues. Until someone can officially cite the shipping hold up, I am going with what OAC_Sparky posted earlier over at All Ford Mustangs, and notch it up to shipping logistics, rather than problems with the actual cars.

Until we hear something official about shipments being held up due to 5.0 issues, I would not even worry about it. Pure rumor is all it is.

The cars are being held for some inspection, but as far as I know, no official word on WHAT is being inspected has been given.

Sounds like a lot of Mustang buyers have some serious issues with their dealers, Ford should step in and correct these types of bad representation by dealers, in the long run, Ford will pay dearly for angry customers. We're not talking about affordable little cars here, we're buying expensive cars and should not be treated like we're annoying the dealer for info...We've been waiting for ages for these cars >

Hi Deysha!
I sent you a PM but I will post it here too.
I have been looking forward to speaking with you for some time now. I have been following the forums for a while now and you are awesome! Thanks for helping everyone here.
I was hoping you could tell me anything at all about the order I placed. I've been waiting now for exactly 1 month and still don't have a VIN assigned. The dealer hasn't been able to tell me anything and this is getting frustrating being left in the dark.
My order was placed with 'Brien Ford' of Everett, WA. I received a crappy scan via e-mail of the Dora that is really hard to read. Here is what I think I can make out:
Ordered 4-12-11
Order Type 1
Priority 13
Begin Order 4444
Am I just being impatient? What is the typical time frame for getting a VIN!?!

I just saw this post, but did not see any PM's from you. Check your inbox, I've sent you some important info.

You might be a little impatient honestly. I think it took around 10 weeks to get my VIN, and others were similar. Other more recent orders were seeing 5-6 weeks it seems to get a VIN, so it should be coming soon.
Deysha will be able to help you out though. Hopefully you get good news soon.

It also took me 10 weeks to get my VIN. (Ordered 02-14-11/VIN 04-22-11). The day i got my VIN, Deysha PM'd me the build week of 05-16-11 and the ETA of 06-01-11. She also PM'd me this past monday with a build day of 05-18-11. Still waiting on a window sticker; but, Deysha told me it would come up shortly before the build day. Now, this is just my timeline. I've seen others that ordered a month after me and already got theirs. So, who really knows how Ford handles these orders. It definitely is not in the order that they came in. Anyways, Deysha is your best bet. She is great!

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!
Deysha, I messaged you with my info. When you get a chance can you track it for me. Not that is matters much now, thanks.

I know your fustration. I can even do better. I ordered 1/17. Finally built 4/12 and I'm still waiting for it to be shipped. My car's been sitting there for 4 weeks. Between this mess and the fact that ford isn't really addressing those with manual transmission problems, I'm starting to wonder I really want to go through with this. If Ford would just step up and tell us what is really going on it would go a long way with me, but it seems to me that either they don't care enough to do it, or they are too scared to let us know.
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
Ok, enough for today!

I must say I do love the ladies at Ford Cutomer Service. They're so helpful and upbeat. Anyway my car is sitting on ramp 15 with the ETA of the week of the 15th. So with any luck I'll have my car by the end of next week. As the ladie at Customer Service put it "Cool Beans!!!!", LOL!!
