7/4/22 Build Week Chat

[davidleary]

Congratulations all around!

I think my car is sitting in a parking lot in Phoenix, but Ford service thinks it still in Argentine. I'm sitting on my hands waiting for the truckers to bring it down to my dealer near Tucson and get THE CALL?‍?

Via Jim Click? They just told me Ramp 6M in Argentine Kansas for ours too ...our build complete week was 05/24

Different dealership in the area. My info on Argentine was from calling Ford service directly, but they all get info from a Ford data base. The Phoenix-on-Monday was from BNSF data that may or may not be up to date or correct.

I'm in the PHX metro area, with a 5/30 build and original ETA of 8/2. The revised estimate from Ford chat was 9/20 until yesterday, when the Ford website added a 8/27-9/2 to the page. At this point, I'm just going to wait for the dealer to call me when it gets there. ?‍

Evidently my MME is in Phoenix already. The updated at-the-dealer date Is September 1 -7?.

For those going to pick up your car, even though it says on the website your deposit was applied, make sure to double check. I get to pick up a 500$ check today. ?

Good to know. I still don't have a set pick up date but at least the cars at the dealer. They estimated a 1.5 week wait while they do their inspection.

Did you get caught up in the rear axle recall?

 

[Mrn]

Since my car was in Lecheria on 7/18, the mentioned date of recalled rear axles reaching the production line, I think the recall doesn't apply to mine ?

Guys i picked my car on 08/17 with built week 7/4 and had message
Limited performance due to hot battery on 08/21. Since then my car is in the dealership for repair. They told me the chillar doesn’t work properly and had to wait for new one.
Does somebody have the same issue here ?
It only happens when you charge on fast charger but not when you drive.

Not yet but seems there are quite several reports of the chiller issue.

I haven't had chiller issues. I don't think my car should be in that back since it was shipped July 12th. I think the next build week might be in that batch of cars with the rear right axel though.

That's rough, any estimate on arrival time for the new chiller?

The part came for couple days but the car was sitting in the dealership without somebody to work on it. It took 3 days just to be checked with the software. Also i had to call Ford and open a case so they made them to work on the car. I will let you guys know when i pick it up from the dealership.
You can check all of my case here in detail

Mines at the dealership hopefully I get the call this week to pick it up unless it needs one of those recalls that are being mentioned here.

Finally picked her up yesterday morning. Really enjoyed my pick up experience at the dealership, get in, shown car sign one paper, hand over money and walk out. No BS oversell or tactics to get me to buy more stuff.

I wish every dealer worked like that.

Sadly my Lectron V-box charger might be a dud and due to the delays delays in delivery I'm out of the return window, currently chatting with amazon to handle a refund/return as I'm like 3 days past the return period.

Loving the car so far and we managed to cram all 3 car seats for the kids in the back, first long trip is tomorrow to visit family, according to fordpass, I should be fine with a 15 min stop to charge half way.
