Now early July. Don't know anymore than that as our fleet company doesn't supply the SIDO or whatever number until the car arrives at the dealer which is fairly useless.

This delay is costing Ford money because they can't sell these vehicles. This delay is costing dealerships money, this delay is costing me money!It is not in anyones interest to have this delay go on any longer than it has to, so just try and relax and be happy that you have your order in and secure. Screaming and jumping up and down isn't going to make it happen any quicker.So please just give it a week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said, this is not an issue Ford Australia have caused, their suppliers are at fault and are doing everything they can to get the vehicles out ASAP. First everyone whinges (dealers included) that the Launch was pushed back a month or so to accomodate more stock for launch. Then when there is a problem people can't stand the fact that they have to wait a few more weeks.If you ordered an XR5T Mondeo in April you would most likely see it in August! If you have a problem with Ford, ring them directly and tell them about it. They can't read your mind, and this forum isn't an official Ford Motor Company Complaints dept.Disgruntled Employee out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Mud Member 24 Member For: 16y 8m 23d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 27/05/08 08:09 AM Share Posted 27/05/08 08:09 AM I spoke to my leasing company today and he told me the rumour he heard yesterday is that the problem is something to do with the turbo causing the manifold to crack and that ford are trying to find a new supplier. Sounds like were in for quite a long wait guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue is that I was told a date and it changed without a valid reason. If they just fronted an honest reason for the delay then fine.Not interested in the rumours either, heard so many now that they're all filled in the "heard it on the interweb so it must be true" folder.
