Ordered 2019 Time to build seems crazy ??

[Bear376]

Based on what I read here, my dealer was optimistic about when my EcoBoost will be made. Not that I am overly upset, but I will miss a few events I wanted to be in. Delays are nothing new for Mustangs on order. They cannot fully anticipate what options are in demand until the orders come in. If the vendor is set up for a thousand units a month, then those with that option will schedule accordingly. If there are 1500 sold, that means an added two weeks to the schedule. That and the priorities system makes for interesting issues. And I suspect that a ranking system among the dealers affects how their priorities are allocated. A smaller dealer might have one priority 10, two priority 11, based on their market. While a large dealer that sells 20-30 Mustangs a month, might get a dozen priority 10 available.

I’ve had my PP2 on order since 8/3 and at long last received my VIN on 11/8. With a 1/21 est. build I’m showing a EDD on 2/26- a complete joke on Fords part and something must be very broken in their supply chain. I’m seriously debating canceling my order, but it feels like I’m already in quite feel at this point. My biggest disappointment isn’t even the nearly 7 months of waiting, but taking delivery of my weekend only car in the nastiest time of the year here in Maine.

Seems strange to take that long most take 3-4 months at the most, some as little as 8 weeks...based on just this site. Maybe it is just a bad dealer? Do you have a pic like the one below?

Yeah the whole deal has been less fun than I was hoping for- but I’m still lucky to have the car coming and am just anxious for it’s arrival. My feeling is it’s not likely the dealer- I know they had allocation at the time of order and I got a priority 19. After a month and a half I had kicked a bit and they asked the zone rep for a favor and got my priority increased to 1 now.

I got my vin on 08/30 for my car that i ordered on 07/21 & window sticker on 10/09. Had a blend date of 10/17 and EDD of 11/07. Over the next month the EDD has changed 4X, 11/07>11/04>11/14 and today to 11/22. Last thing CRC told me was car left New Boston, MI on 10/30. I went into dealer to ask why so long to travel 900mi and no answer, they need 2 days to get info. Dealer never called me back. Today I chat w/CRC again, they have no info, but 2 hours later my car goes from 11/14 EDD to 11/22. Guess they'll be flatbedding to my house or storing it for the winter.

I look at it this way, do you want scored cylinder walls or wait a few extra weeks for delivery?

Dave, another post also speculated MT-82 Fork issues causing transmission shortage. Seems like most of the folks experiencing production delays are PP2 orders, or PP1 w/ MT. That seems to make sense. Another poster with a order PP1, Magneride, AT received his car in 8 weeks from order to delivery. My bet is the MT-82 issues are causing the delay. Could be a combination of things I suppose. Whatever the problem, I’m with you, would rather wait and hopefully get a issue-free car. Hopefully.

I also ordered PP1 MR 10A car after about 10 days in production CS in chat told me it's probably due to a QC problem which needed to be fixed. took another 3-4 datys to go into waiting to be shipped. Now that it finally shipped it seems they still have problems, I cant see how it takes 28 days to travel 900 miles to NY.

There is an 18 PP2 at Sayville Ford and a 19 PP2 for sale at Reickerts Ford. I could compromise and buy one of them but whatever issues Mustangs are having will be prevalent in these two Mustangs as well.

So....I guess waiting and hoping that Ford fixes the MT82, the BBQ/Piston slap ect ect ect will be worth the wait. I am also hoping that with Ford dropping so many product lines, that QC and reliability gets better on the platforms they are keeping. Such as the Mustang. No more bubbling paint, misaligned body, evap that works, ect ect ect.

If it's just one part then there wouldn't be a wide spread factory hold, unless that parts was the engine. For example if it was really the MT82 then why would the autos be held? If it was some interior part (like I was initially told) then most likely some cars would be coming out. Instead it appears to be a factory wide hold of some magnitude. I don't think we've heard of any EB on hold.
