Who else ordered a 2019 GT350/GT350R

Congratulations, beautiful car.

What was your blend date? And what was your original delivery date?

Thanks. Blend Date was 2/19 and original EDD was March 9th-12th.

Here is my latest info (last Friday). There is yet ANOTHER delay in shipping some cars out. My dealer advises, after talking with a plant rep, that there are a number (unk.) of GT350's that are having a part replaced in the shifter mechanism. Yours might be within that group which were apparently produced in March.

I can support this info. Mine after 320 miles (last week - May 20th) had the reverse lockout stop working. Mine was produced in February (2/19 blend). Sorry, but my failure may have caused a whole new run of delays on those made in February and not yet delivered.

Basically there was no reverse lockout at all after the failure. While out for a spin I came to a stop at a red light, went to go again once the light turned green... it was in reverse instead of first. Thank goodness I didn't go far enough to hit the car behind me. That would have sucked.

Ford replaced the shifter mechanism and the problem was resolved. The trans has to be lowered in order to replace it, so it's not a 1-2-3 fix.

No info on when the car will start moving to Maryland. This is the car from hell !!!!! Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. Ford is definitely on my shit-list, and all they do is offer apologies. I should have bought a 2018 at the dealership for a reduced price. Pissed beyond words.

Frustrating as it is, the 19 really is a much better car then the 18 and worth the wait. While there are differences between the 2018R and the 2019R, they are no where as significant as the base model

It better be! I'm damned sick and tired of dealing with delays. Half the summer will be over by the time it gets here!!

Just went to the tracking site just keeps getting farther and farther away every time I look. Was 57 days on Tuesday

 

[drummerboy]

It means -61 days, as in 4/2 was 61 days ago.

Interesting today, as much as I didn't want to look at the tracking order website, because mine was -17 days due, it was updated for an EDD of 6/9(sunday) but it is still in production. Not much hope for this week, but why update if there is no chance??

Called my dealer, and the car has been recieved by the transport and ETA is 6/3-6/9. Fingers crossed. I hope everyone else gets there soon!!

So my blend date was 05/03 and the car showed "produced" status on 05/06. Could NOT get a straight answer from Ford Performance why my car was sitting in Flat Rock for four weeks. Asked my dealer to call and they were able to pry out a little more information: my car is held hostage at the striping shop due to a lack of materials. No delivery ETA at all as of 05/31. Kind of incredible that Ford could run out of striping material! So the wait continues...

I love reading this thread. You guys are doing it. Looking forward to people taking their deliveries.

 

[Bird of prey]

Man this is just getting ridiculous. probably same hold up on mine as well.
I just can’t imagine how they could be out of striping.

After reading your post I decided to check the status of my vehicle. I haven’t checked in almost 2 weeks since it was so aggravating to watch the number climb to over 50 days, my original delivery date was 4/4.

Well, unlike you I do not have a new delivery date. My delivery date is now N/A. I am not sure what that means but I did contact my salesperson to let him know and asked that they contact Ford to see exactly what N/A means.

I can’t wait to hear what the latest excuse is for not releasing my vehicle for transport.
