I am in the same boat - cancelled my order today and walked off the lot with one almost identical to mine that is stuck in steering wheel neverland. They got a replacement from another nearby dealer in the St. Louis area. Dealer says that mid April is a target date to finish those without...
I had to pull the plug and bail on my order - dealer found me an almost exact replacement at the same price so I got it today!! I will still keep track of my orphan vehicle and give updates IF something changes.
The safest bet is to settle, unless you have a wonderful dealer with awesome allocation and excellent luck, so many things can go wrong....but as you see, some people’s orders go through just fine.
Totally agree - the latest “update” from my dealer was that they HOPE to remedy all of the cars without steering wheels by mid-April. After that we will still have to wait for shipment to be arranged and then vehicle delivery. May 2019 seems like a new realistic target date for most of us...
Thank you I appreciate the words of wisdom and encouragement. I am in a better place today since possibly I can still get a Mustang. We’ll see what magic my dealer can pull with this other almost perfect match to mine. I also will be requesting floor mats and oil changes once all is said and...
It is an unacceptable situation for customers who have already been waiting many months on their orders. There should have been a better plan in place (or some plan at all) which included being able to track and inform the affected retail customers of their vehicle location and status prior to...
Dealer searched for a replacement for my steering wheel-less order...! We found one but will that dealer actually have the car (no - not on their lot - I called) and if not on their lot then will my dealer actually be able to get it? Fingers crossed - thankfully, today’s problems are more...
Okay - need a group opinion - there might be a car almost exactly like mine that the dealer has found only it has the 19 inch polished aluminum wheels vs the 18 inch machine aluminum low gloss black wheels. Other than liking the looks of the black wheels, I live in Illinois where winters can be...
Thank you - had my heart set on a Mustang but I will be better off buying something that already exists. My husband has the dealer looking now for another Mustang he could obtain from a nearby dealer but the dealer just does not have the time it seems to get me taken care of. Hoping this poor...
Ordered 10/20/18
Convinced Dealer they needed “allocation” date: 1/10/19
“Just missed” scheduling for production so they waited over a month to get me my Production Day: 2/19/19
Stuck in production since the several weeks later date when they scheduled me to be built was one of the weeks...
Oh buddy, with a life like I have with zero good luck, hope is just another 4-letter word. I asked for an update from my dealer a few hours ago and no reply yet. I am beyond pi$$ed now. As a side note - I was just trying to get this car as a fun anniversary gift. Do not have a huge love for...
Me: "8000. That's going to take a while to fix. Could be weeks. Could be months."
SM: "Uh, yeah. The regional rep says they should have it resolved by April 5, but that might just be the supply issue."
Me: "Yeah. Who knows?"
SM: "Well, you said you didn't want it while there was snow on the...
Okay great for you! Your car was not affected by the steering wheel shortage. Glad all is going so well for some. Again if your car has no steering wheel please post your updates here.
Worst decision ever regarding us customers when Ford went ahead and built our cars without wheels. Complete screw up that has messed things up big time. Even the tracking system is useless now. Way to go Ford
