2009 Vehicle Order Tracking


Recommended Posts

2009 VEHICLE TRACKING REQUEST FORUM

 

We are starting a new order tracking thread because the last thread has just about reached critical mass, and with the 2009 orders just starting to hit the system, it was an opportune time. Below is a kind of FAQ to Order Tracking. Feel free to ask questions, we will add to this and update it as we go along.

 

***************************************************************************

What do you need to track my order?

***************************************************************************

You need to post your Vehicle Indentification Number (VIN) - Ask your dealer for this 17 digit number

 

Your dealer should have the VIN shortly (within a week or two) after you place your order -- with the exception of a few high demand or limited quantity vehicles. It there is a "material hold" or your dealer doesn't have an allocation for your vehicle, getting the VIN may take a little longer.

 

***************************************************************************

What are all the different Production Stages, and what do they mean?

***************************************************************************

Receipt Date: The date that MS&S recorded the order.

When the order is received from the dealers

 

Serialize Date: The date that MS&S transfers the order to MP&L and the VIN is created.

When the order is received by Material Planning and parts are ordered

 

Segment Date: The date that MP&L determines which week the order will be built.

When they figure what week that parts will be able to be delivered to the plant to build the vehicle

 

Sequence Date: The date that MP&L determines which day the order will be built.

When they figure what day that parts can be at the plant to build the vehicle

 

Blend Date: The date that MP&L determines when the order will be built within the assigned day.

When they figure the specific order that vehicles will be built. This depends on options and line constraints.

 

Produced Date: The date that VO finished assembling the vehicle

Your unit has been built!

 

Gate Release Date: The date that VO transfers the vehicle to Transportation Carriers for shipping

Your unit has left the building, and is in the hands of the shipper (rail or truck)

 

Ship Date: The date the vehicle left the Assembly Plant

Your unit has left the load site, and is on it's way to the dealer

 

Arrival Date: The date the Dealership received the vehicle

Your dealer has the unit in hand, doing the dealer prep thingy

 

Sold Date: The date the Customer picked up the vehicle

You came in, looked it over, said, "I'll take it!" and signed the papers

 

***************************************************************************

My vehicle has shipped, now what can I do?

***************************************************************************

The dealer has a tool in his arsenal called the Vehicle Visibility System. Since your vehicle is shipped, you should be able to call your salesman (occasionally, not hourly) and get a shipping update. Remember that your vehicle is being shipped by a national rail and trucking system -- not by UPS or Fedex. So your vehicle may take a few days to a few weeks to reach your dealership depending on the distance you are from the manufacturing plant and if there are any delays due to weather, mechanical problems with the trains, etc.

 

***************************************************************************

Other Frequently Asked Question

***************************************************************************

Q: I heard I can get a .PDF of my Window Sticker, when and how?

A: Usually a day after Blend Date has been reached the Window Stickers are available. Just post your request, and if it's in the system, we'll post it for you.

 

Q: What does CONVOY mean on the Window Sticker under Shipping?

A: Shipped via train, on a railcar

 

Q: Why do some window stickers have someone's name on it?

A: A/X/Z/D 'plan' ordered cars get names on the stickers if 'Plan' ordered from the beginning. You'll see

names like 'X00name00X'

 

Q: How long will it take from start to finish or from one production stage to the next?

A: They vary! Receipt to Serialize depends on allocation/priority. Serialize to Segment is typically the same day. Blend Date to Produced Date typically takes a week. Typically, Production to Gate Release is the same or one day apart. Gate Release and Ship are usually the same day. Production from start to finish is usually within 24 hours.

If I've already posted my first request on the other thread should I re-post here for future tracking my 09 FEH? ( VIN 1FMCU59369KA32265)

No, this thread is for those only wanting "occasional" or one-time tracking updates. Those wanting regular updates are encouraged to make their own thread (as you have already done) and bump their thread if it falls off page one.

Hi ViperPilot,

 

Would you mind giving me the tracking report on this Ford Escape -> 1FMCU93G79KA11072.

 

This escape is already on the lot, but im curious to know what is the shipping transit average time between Kansas City and Ottawa On.

 

Thank you very much,

Sorry, ViperPilot. The Greel Lantern suggested I post my request here. Sorry for the duplication. If possible, any news on my '09 MMH VIN: 4M2CU29379KJ05642?

 

Lol...just to clarify, when I made my suggestiong this thread did not exist. I was suggesting you read the directions on how to post your OWN thread and request tracking of the vehicle. Sorry if I confused you.

Please read the "before you post" link in my signature. It will help a lot.

 

You have a thread going in the other section that's on page 1. If it's on page 1, it's getting checked nearly daily. It was checked this morning. If your thread falls to page 2, bump it.

 

No answer to your thread means there is no change.
