I want the nickel wheels and I am finding a lot of black on the DIB cars. Maybe we could work something out if we both find cars.
The way our luck is running we'd probably meet up to trade wheels and end up crashing into each other. :lol:
The regional service managers do not have any more information than the regular customer service people. Mine never calls me back either. I was actually thinking about calling VOPC, but since my car is at the dealer, I don't think they will be able to do anything related to the recall.
My Dealer loaned me an old Ford Edge with 150K miles on it. See if they will give you an older used car as a loaner. If the dealer had not given me the Edge, I would have been SOL. I sold my VW Jetta TDI the day before the Diesel scandal broke out. I rode my motorcycle to work everyday...but the weather changed and I either needed to cancel my order and get another car or figure something out. My dealer offered me the Edge and I didn't even have to ask. This is the reason I've been waiting. (And the fact that there are ZERO Magnetic GT's with PP within 200 miles of my house).
Hey GT5150, I finally spoke with the Ford Regional Customer Service Manager on the phone this morning. I explained to her the situation (About how my dealer is willing to pull the parts off of another mustang but they need Ford's approval to do it.) She said she would call the Dealership (on the phone) and explain to them how to get approval. Apparently the only way to get approval is for them to call the dealer recall hotline.
It could come soon, but might be on hold until 11/30 per fords stop sale. Mine arrived at the dealer yesterday. I already bought another, but might go look at her to say by. lol. Your best bet is to ask your dealer if they have a similar or the same car on order or in transit because they're are delivering cars at a record pace. 10/15-10/25 build date are on lots. I tried dealer trades to no avail that's why I said screw it and bought what I did. Low and behold I'm glad I did. The performance pack is overrated in my mind now.
They look great, guys! Hope everything gets handled quickly.
It’s no problem, Ozzmosis86. Just clarifying in case others read this thread, I’d like for them to have the correct info.
Oh my!! This is just painful, rl16v6! :eyebulge: :(
Have them double check it, Digope. It’s still showing the recall in the system.
You’re very welcome, snarkipus!! She is gorgeous!!
It shows it arrived at your dealer on Monday, OxFord6G. Give them a call.
Deysha,
I'm pretty sure that the reason they were held at the rail yards was to ensure that the cars didn't get delivered/sold before the recall was announced. It's Federal law that prohibits Dealers from selling cars that are under safety/compliance recall.
Agreed.
Even the dealer is prohibited from driving them. Need to go get my mileage so I can track that too. They don't need to take a test drive/joy ride for the seat belts.
The dealer does test drive it to test it as part of the PDI process. I saw the service guy drive off in my car. I followed him and he went about 5 miles.
