That was me!!!

Im sure you can total one out by adding all the times up on page 1 but in reality, it varies by CFTP, location, and dealer volume (importance)

Do CFTP generally take longer?

Do CFTP generally take longer?

Only if they have painted stripes.

 

[Cgouzoulis]

Only if they have painted stripes.

I was under the impression they took about a day or two longer for the wheels and wing

Did you get it sold?

Now that the mod center is inside the plant, it shouldn't take more than a day.

 

[AMBJR]

Did you get it sold?

"NO", the dealer still has it on order, and hasn't received it yet!!! It was my original back on 07-24-2019!!!

FREE AT LAST !....Well Almost.
0837 was released by Ford today after 44 days in the Union Pacific Rail Yard. After the dealer's owner once again contacted the District Manager, Ford notified the dealer that they could arrange for the car to be picked up and transported to their facility to replace the rear Magne-Ride shocks which Ford finally figured out were not "in-the-field repairable".

My car was one of 41 that were held in rail yards under Stop Ship holds because of the shock spacer issue. Last week the remaining 21 cars were inspected; and at the start of this week 15 remained in the yards pending repairs. Today I learned that of the remaining 15 cars, mine was one of 10 that had not yet been released, so I contact the dealer and it finally happened.

The rear shocks for the CFTP cars appear to be in short supply, so Ford has advised the dealer to contact the "plant manager" if any shortages occur.

The dealer contacted Ford after the first week while on hold and offered to bring the car to their facility for inspection and repair...but no dice. It is unfortunate that it has taken this long to finally get the car released and out of "harm's way" in the rail yard. I am flying to CA to inspect the car when it arrives on Monday or Tuesday, to see just what it looks like following its "imprisonment." Thanks to all who tried to keep my spirits up throughout this ordeal. It's only taken 13 months from order to arrival at the dealer.

UPDATE: Well, so much for FORD "expediting" the release of my car from the rail yard. The release last Friday turned out to be bullsh*t as yesterday I drove over to the rail yard and there sat 0837...where it had been for the previous 48 days. I wrote the dealer this morning...Day 50..and was told later this afternoon that it should be delivered to them tomorrow...but no guarantees. What a crock of "sh*t". So much for trusting Ford to do the right thing. Oh, and the rear shocks are "Not available" in the US. Guess Ford wil have to supply them from the parts bin at Flat Rock. One of the worst buying experiences I've ever had.
