mogur Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I ordered my 2013 Escape on June 20 and it arrived at the dealer on August 1, some two weeks earlier than expected. I don't know why, but I'm not complaining... Production date was supposedly July 19 according to the dealer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkell Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Ordered mine on July 18th and got an August 20th ETA as well. I thought for sure my dealer was being overly optimistic. Perhaps not. Still on track to be delivered the week of 8/20. Got my VIN today and was able to pull up the pdf of my sticker. Build date scheduled for 08/09/2012. Finally starting to feel real...

mogur Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Where is the production date on the sticker? Thanks! Here's the link to the site to download you window sticker: http://researchmania...yCarOrders.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timf Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Where is the production date on the sticker? Thanks! It's in the box at the bottom center of the sticker. Don't look at the very bottom of the page, that's just the date the sticker was generated (i.e. today). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogur Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 OK, mine was produced July 11 then. The dealer claimed it was July 19. That may partially explain why it got here much earlier than expected... Is a vehicle actually produced in one day or is that the date it started to go down the line (or came off the end of the line)? It's in the box at the bottom center of the sticker. Don't look at the very bottom of the page, that's just the date the sticker was generated (i.e. today). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transitman Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) Where is the production date on the sticker? Thanks! It's the series of numbers under the Fuel Economy section. It looks like: 1201207090116 which translated to 12012-07-090116 or year-month-day. Edited August 8, 2012 by transitman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it that is the date of completion, while the other number is the date production was started? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogur Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 On my sticker, the bottom center date is July 11 and the date under the fuel milege is July 17. Which is correct, or do they both indicate something different? Thanks! -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transitman Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) I take it that is the date of completion, while the other number is the date production was started? I don't know. From what I understand, it takes about 18 hours from start to finish. I have no idea how you would drill it down to start date/time and completion date/time. I mean come on... On my sticker, the bottom center date is July 11 and the date under the fuel milege is July 17. Which is correct, or do they both indicate something different? Thanks! -Tom As was stated before, July 11 is the date you searched and opened the image of the window sticker. If you did it today that date would read 08/09/2012. The series of numbers under the fuel economy section is the build date. Another source for the build date is to access the Ford ETIS site, www.etis.ford.com which, along with a list of all the features that are available on the Escape, it indicates the features included with your car.

mogur Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 No, the date I searched and opened the image is August 8 and is at the very bottom, center of the sticker. The two dates I am referring to is the one below the fuel mileage info and the one in the bottom center ABOVE the date that the sticker was searched and opened... They are both in July and a little over a week apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Maybe the earlier date is when the VIN is assigned and the later date is when the vehicle rolls off the line. My salesman emailed me our VIN on 8/3/12. The dates (mentioned by mogur) on our window sticker are 8/1/12 and 8/8/12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeman84 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Our car that was produced June 5th and held because of the recalls is finally shipped. ETA is August 16th. It has been a long wait. Hopefully the car was worth waiting for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered my Titanium on June 20 as well, but as of last week it still "... is in route to CA. It will be a few weeks only until you can take delivery" as the dealer says. Tired of waiting...

ansi789 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 No, I haven't ask Cyberdman. You just send him a message on here with the vin number. I live in Michigan (Metro Detroit Area). The shipment method on the windows stick say convoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ansi789 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 oh ok, people say that it can be cause by the recall but I have a 2.0L engine. So how do I ask cyberdman to track the escape for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timf Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 You need to make 10 legitimate posts here before you can request tracking information. Try to avoid making one-line posts just to bump your post count, as this is frowned upon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master-Blaster Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Ordered 2013 Ford Escape SE AWD 1.6 on June 14, 2012, built on July 25, 2012. I had an ETA of August 10, 2012 and still waiting. Called the Ford of Canada Customer Relationship Centre and they can't tell me when the vehicle will be delivered to the dealership. The dealership has no idea either. Just arrived at the dealership today August 16, 2012..

My wife's Escape sat at L.A.P. for eight weeks before it was shipped. It was held and repaired as part of the carpet pad/trim recall. A Ford Cust. Service rep. told me that it took so long to ship because the factory had a huge backlog of repaired Escapes to ship along with the Escapes that factory keeps producing.
