Hey guys , found this forum through my misery search. Ordered my first mustang GT premium since 2002, car ordered may 23rd and was built August 6th as per my build date , and it has been awaiting shipment ever since with no date. It really was frustrating for me but through reading your stories through this forums it definitely makes me feel not alone.

It’s honestly pretty pathetic the amount of terrible service I have received from ford , from their regional manager and dealer. No one seems to want to tell me where my vehicle is. Everyone provides a different answer.

Amazing how a 50k car is not trackable and just can sit in a lot for 27 days with zero reliability as to where the car is.

I feel like I should just cancel my order.

Waiting for your Mustang to be built and delivered can be a hard and nerve racking experience as there is very little information and the car likes to go missing or get stuck somewhere, but it gets there in the end, just need to hang on in there and all these problems are soon forgotten when she turns up and you see her for the 1st time

I understand your frustration, but you're (hopefully) 90% of the way there. And if you read a lot of the posts here, you will very likely love it once you drive it. Now, another option is to see if you can find a car you like off another dealer's lot...

Hey everyone, been lurking a while but today is a day of firsts. First COTUS update on my first Mustang so time for my first post. Loaded 2019 Mustang GT 401A PP car in Orange Fury. Ordered 7/13 and this morning COTUS updated for the first time to show "In order Processing" with a VIN #. Very excited but I've ordered cars before so still patiently waiting.

Anybody find this odd: Dealer says that they can have multiple vehicles with the same order number. So for my order of “L256” it’s my Mustang and an F-250. Truck’s order date was 7/26. Mine 7/28. Same order number and Dealer code.
Problem is I won’t be able to see any tracking in COTUS because the truck’s EDD is 10/5!, any only the truck shows up in COTUS now. Took 4 weeks of nothing then this truck. So I guess that means I’m after the truck delivery??
This does not make sense to me. Reminds me of Y2K coding. “We only have 4 digits to run the whole ordering system for this billion dollar company.”
Can anyone shed some light on this? Anyway I can get my order info beyond this truck in COTUS? Or some other source?

From what I have read is that a dealer can use the same order code for many different orders. I would get a hold of Ford Performance Chat and tell them you would like the VIN Number for the Mustang on that order number. then forget the order number and just track it via the vin. Also check out the Auto Cotus Checker once you find your vin. You will get an email update every time status changes.

Hey all, another EDD delay this time pushing it back another 2 weeks. Was originally 8/29 then 9/4 now all the way back to 9/20? Seems a bit ridiculous. For just having to come a couple hours to Cleveland area. Just annoyed and anxious.

Awesome thanks! Will give them a chat and see about my VIN.

16 days in a railyard! My dealer says they are trying to reach out to the zone rep, but there is really nothing they can do. I don’t understand why if it’s on the ramp, why it just wouldn’t be loaded to a truck right away.

 

[znebsays]

Yeah I definitely feel your pain. From what I've been told from a ford insider is that 2019 ford mustangs that were awaiting shipment for a while were pulled back due to "quality inspection", what does that mean? Who knows, maybe a defective part that they had to load them up in assembly line again? Literally ordering a car has been one of the worst experiences for me, especially the service i've received from dealer and ford canada, it's honestly repulsive how these guys operate and they're such a massive company.

Ordered 8/24

GT Conv Premium, RR, 401A, A10, Active Exhaust, B&O, Luster Nickel Wheels, PP1, MagneRide

Z Plan

I'm not sure how long it will take to get a VIN.

I'm not exactly sure how this happened, but I ordered a week ago. It's scheduled and I have a VIN. It sure is nice to know people that know people. ;)

Hopefully not for those 3/4 gear MT-82 shift forks!

UPDATE: So finally got some good then great news.
GOOD News: I have a VIN! So today COTUS updated with a Mustang build that looks like mine. Sent VIN to dealer, and he confirmed it was my order! And it looks great, all the options there (except interior color). No EDD yet.

GREAT News: Dealer then pulled their backside info on my VIN (Ford Dealer Network??) and sent it to me. In there I noticed my Priority Code changed from the DORA “10” and is now “01”!!
Shows Build Week as Oct 15th!
So guess that is the soonest they can built it with MagnaRide? Not sure how that changed, but I’m happy!

So breathing some relief here. Was figuring Nov build, but Oct is even better.

You would think the dealer could call them and find out why it's been staged for so long or maybe when they are planning to spot it for transport.

Finally got my VIN. Dealer said it should be built the week of Oct 15th.
