no comment at this time. Lot's of BS. I only got a ride home from police.

lol... No judgments here, but remember the guy who crashed his hellcat, 1 hour after he bought it.

didn't see that, just going to say under 55 degrees the tires have no traction and 30 mph and a curb totals car. Traction Control ON full less then half throttle. No marks on car or road just the rim and back bumper dislodged on passenger side from frame damage. ALL air bags popped. No actual body damage or scratches. really no reason for airbags to go off. My left elbow now looks twice its size and top left of head hurting. Damage on right rear tire hit. Then you see the cars with front ends knocked off but no air bags.

The police where even commenting and looking at all the air bags and wtf.

Damn, sorry to hear that man.

And I just came to this thread to complain that my EDD pushed until Jan 15. I HATE COTUS. :-/

Went in to dealer on 12/8 gave them exact options I wanted, they told me it was already ordered and on its way for inventory. Got the VIN and started checking Cotus which expected 12/17 delivery date. Checked the morning of 12/17 and it then showed 12/30. This morning I checked and it says 01/03 on Cotus. From what I understand this is normal though. :headbonk:

Yes except I ordered August 5, built on n
Nov 17, it's been sitting in Flat rock for 5 weeks. 2months until it's delivered,seems excessive.

Mine got to spend Christmas back at the plant. Rachel tells me it was sent back for unknown reasons and will definitely be there until after the New Year. I personally feel that in a case like this the issue or issues should be disclosed and the buyer given the option to accept the car or take a priority reorder of some kind.

Problem is that it could be a real problem/issue like damage loading it, anywhere to as tiny as they forgot to hook up a wiring harness on a connection and QC caught it (say the car wouldn't start and the push start wasn't hooked up right). Obviously a wiring harness or something minor who cares? Typically if there is damage they disclose it. Either way they part would be replaced with a brand new one at the plant still.

Through New Year is because the plant is closed right now and until January 2nd, not because it will be being fixed for 6 more days.

How's this for slow:

July 9, 2014 paid deposit at dealer
July 11, 2014 order date shown at Ford website
November 10, 2014 order processing completed
November 18, 2014 in production
December 23, 2014 awaiting shipment
1/13/2015 EDD (changed from 1/2 earlier this week)

EB premium 201A, auto, guard, saddle, enhanced security, voice nav., adaptive cruise, park assist, spare tire, spoiler delete

 

[Clink]

Ouch that is crazy, any idea why so long?

 

[ctlaw]

When I asked what was special about mine to cause the delays, the rep. from Ford tried to explain to me that the delay could depend on which plant my car was being produced by. She seemed not to appreciate that they are all being built in Flat Rock.

I may try calling again to get a different rep.

 

[stulaw11]

Well your EDD probably changed from 1/2 to 1/13 because the plant is closed until 1/2 and it may not have physically released for shipment before the shutdown on 12/23. Did you PM Rachel/FordService here and ask that? She can see the current location of the car (at the plant, on the ramp awaiting shipment, on the train, etc).

In reality from order processed to delivered its still within the 6-8 timeframe. I know the order was put in 7/11, but that delay is on the dealership- an allotment or priority assignment issue getting a build date assigned.

Seems that both of our Convertibles, Your GT and mine V6 ( with Spoiler Delete), share the same fate. I know there was a "commodities" issue where they ran out of the 18` Foundry Wheels that come with the 051A Package. Could that be the hold up? Be nice if there was more transparency and Ford didn`t leave us in the dark assuming worst case scenarios.

I agree that the issue could very well be something minor. If so, I really wish they could tell us. I have the AP wheels so that probably isn't my hold up. Mine is back at the factory as I understand it, after moving some short distance shortly after production.
