I now have no borrowed vehicle to drive and tomorrow, 4/20/11, will be three weeks since I ordered and I have no VIN# assigned.
How Frustrating!

I have been borrowing cars since January. Patience has almost run out. Ford Motor Company's customer service may be the worst I have ever seen. The inability/unwillingness to provide any information is inexplicable and inexcusable.(Note: not my dealer or salesperson, but Ford itself). Dealer is actually getting the owner of the dealership involved to try and pry my Ex out of FMC's hands.
I am not asking for the the Colonel's secret recipe. Just an honest answer when my car (that is already built) will ship.
What did you used to do? Walk, Drive, Run, ect?
Time to hit a lot and get one if nearby. Sorry for your frustartion one reason I decided not to order.

When did you order? The OP said he ordered 3 weeks ago, this is well within range. There was a manufacturing hold up that we all know about last month, but it appears that orders are being delivered within the 6 to 8 week period now.
And most of the delays are not Ford, it is the rail company due to the amount of rail cars they took of the tracks due to lack of car sales over the past couple years.
3 weeks and you are starting a thread complaining? There is no reason to start a thread like this after 3 weeks. It took 5 1/2 weeks for my order to be built so dont expect anything less.
With the delays that have been going around, no dealer should be telling any customer 6-8weeks at the time.

I ordered mine on Feb 9th. Got no VIN, ETA, Build date... Nothing at all until I finally switched dealers last week and placed another order.
Miraculously, I got a VIN number the next day and now have a build date of May 2nd. I'm sure it will be June before I get delivery.
Three weeks is child's play.
Simmer down.

Oh, I'd wager that the real frustration won't kick in for a few more weeks. Three is nothing. I'm about 6 weeks in with no build date in sight. I'm not going to allow myself to get into a lather until at least June...a situation I'm fully expecting, btw.
