    For those with 3/14 roll-off dates

    Ordered 1/17, built 3/15, ETA 3/21, then 3/23. Finally picked up 4/1! There is hope! It is definitely worth the wait too.

    Rear-facing child seat install

    Most LATCH systems don't work for the center seat (of our 2 cars, 1 did and 1 didn't). You can use the regular seat belt instead. It stays tight and doesn't move much in the Ex, but because the buckles are so close, one side is slightly elevated. Adding a rolled up towel helped level it out a...

    Rear-facing child seat install

    Yes and yes. It just seems that there isn't quite enough room between the seat buckles on either side for the base to fit up against the back of the seat. I have a friend that has gone through the 32 hour certification training that should be able to install it properly in the next week or so...

    Rear-facing child seat install

    Has anyone installed a rear-facing infant seat in the center of the 2nd row bench? I'm having trouble getting the base to fit in the center (one side sits a little higher than the other), but would like to put it there if I could. Otherwise, I'll just install it to one side or the other...

    Who is "awaiting shipment?"

    Just got confirmation from Seni that my Ex is at the dealership! Original build date of 3/15, so there is hope that you won't be stuck in awaiting shipment for much longer!

    Who is "awaiting shipment?"

    I'm still awaiting shipment. Built 3/15. Original ETA was 3/21 but was updated to 3/23. I just talked to my salesman today. Same ETA of 3/23...he faxed me what he was looking at. There was a primary status and a secondary status. Not sure what it means, but the secondary status last week...

    For those with 3/14 roll-off dates

    My original ETA was 3/21. Checked on 3/22 and it was updated to 3/23. I didn't check again after that as I assume it just keeps getting moved every day. Still awaiting shipment.

    Now it's in a boat? Man, it'll never get here!

    For those with 3/14 roll-off dates

    Congrats! Nice to see some good news from someone. Mine was built 3/15, but is in the dreaded "awaiting shipment" status. I'm still hopeful to take delivery in the next few days!

    Delay on AWD Models?

    I think that could be why some people are having delays. Can anyone with the AWD model confirm that they did not have a delay? I'd really hate to have to wait another month or longer.

    Delay on AWD Models?

    True. Not guaranteed, but I'm not sure they would schedule a build week if they weren't going to build your Ex. I'm certainly not an expert in the matter, but I would think that scheduling a build would involve committing or allocating resources to that particular vehicle. Once they run out...

    Delay on AWD Models?

    If you have a scheduled build week, I would assume you should be fine. I think the date in that link refers to the date the actual order was placed, not the date it was built (mine was built 3/15 and I got confirmation that it was built).

    Delay on AWD Models?

    I saw this link posted on facebook that seems to confirm Ford stopped taking orders for AWD Ex's after 3/9 because of demand. http://www.donlen.com/updates.aspx I'm still concerned that mine was built 3/15 and is not yet in transit (originally had an ETA of Monday) and am even more...

    Through Seni of course (thanks Seni!).

    For those with 3/14 roll-off dates

    I think you can register as soon as you get a VIN, but Sync doesn't show up as installed until a couple days after it's built. Earlier today when I registered, they didn't show my Ex as complete. Just a bit ago, I was able to see that Sync was installed.

    For those with 3/14 roll-off dates

    Just got confirmation today that my Ex has been built (build date on the sticker was 3/15)! Also confirmed today on syncmyride that sync has been installed. It's not yet in transit, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a delivery early next week (or even by the end of the week would be...

    Adding Remote Start

    I like the idea of being able to use my android to start the car from anywhere, but am a bit concerned about the negative reviews out there. I've got some time before I need it installed now that it's warming up here. I know some places that do the install will guarantee any repair to the...

    Dealership is charging me $180 bucks to install optional Equipment on my new Ex!!!

    Definitely. It's funny that most car salesmen don't push more for the repeat business (or ask for referrals).

    Dealership is charging me $180 bucks to install optional Equipment on my new Ex!!!

    Over $50? Sorry, my time is actually worth something to me. If $50 is what it comes down to, I'd pay and move on.

    For those with 3/14 roll-off dates

    Thanks, Seni! I certainly will. My Ex should be built today! So I'll give it a couple more days before I bug you with finding out where it's at. :)

    Dealership is charging me $180 bucks to install optional Equipment on my new Ex!!!

    I can see both sides of the argument here. I've made it known in previous posts that I have not been blown away by customer service with almost all car dealerships, but the consumer has to take responsibility for knowing what they are paying for (to a certain extent). So it comes down to one...

    What colors are you seeing

    I'm seeing more and more on the roads lately. The most common colors I've seen around here are ingot silver and tuxedo black, but I've seen just about everything on the road (except for gold leaf and red candy).

    Adding Remote Start

    Thanks for the suggestions! Those with experience with the Ford remote starters, how responsive is it? The majority of our use for it will be from home and at work. It's definitely less than 1000 feet from the office to the parking lot, but is a wall going to get in the way? Will I actually...

    Adding Remote Start

    Since I ordered my XLT before remote start was an available option, I'm going to have to get it installed aftermarket. I haven't even started looking yet, but does anyone have any recommendations?

    For those with 3/14 roll-off dates

    Thanks! If it makes you feel any better, it's only a temporary fix. You can only stare at it for so long before you realize it's not going to help it get built any faster. Not long now for us!

    Bottom right hand corner shows 3/15. Any luck viewing yours?

    Did emailing become obsolete?

    That was something else I noticed too. Most of the salespeople had hotmail or yahoo accounts. Not actual company email addresses. Weird

    For those with 3/14 roll-off dates

    Anyone see their window sticker yet? I still can't view mine.

    Did emailing become obsolete?

    Sounds like most dealerships (not just Ford). I submitted through Yahoo Autos that I was interested in a couple different makes and models. Of probably 15 dealers my emails went to, I received some decent correspondence from maybe 3 of them. Most sent automated responses with little to no...

    For those with 3/14 roll-off dates

    I kind of hope you are right. I'm not sure I feel good about mine being built on the day where 5,000 others are built.

    For those with 3/14 roll-off dates

    My weekly update from Seni changed from build week of 3/14 to build date of 3/14 this past week. No window sticker yet for me.

    Expected Delivery Date

    I don't think an ETA is immediately available. I got a build date last week, but no ETA until yesterday

    Expected Delivery Date

    I ordered on 1/17 and finally got a VIN last week (build week of 3/14). It's been an excruiating 7 weeks. I was originally told 6-8 weeks and I won't be much past that, but it still seems like forever. Talked to my salesman yesterday and expected delivery is the week of the 21st. Keeping my...

    The "I can't wait" thread

    I was just checking a couple dealer websites and saw a window sticker for one in the 31000's and another in the 35000's showing due to come off the line in the first week in March. They really are cranking them out now!

    The "I can't wait" thread

    We got our VIN number today (original order placed on 1/17)! Our EX is anticipated to be build the week of 3/14! Now I can relax for 2 weeks or so before I start stressing the delivery date.

    Dealer allocation concern?

    Not necessarily. Your priority only affects where you are in line for your dealer's allocation. Some dealers rarely use 10's to save for truly high prioity needs. Some dealerships start with 20, so that particular dealerships 20 is really the same priority as my 10.
  39. T

    Dealer allocation concern?

    We got a 10, which I can only assume means that everyone gets a 10...or maybe I'm just too negative. LOL. Anyway, I hold back from calling the sales manager as I know I should just be patient. Assuming that last 8 inches of snow we got the other day was the last of the worst of it, I can wait...
