Dedonut Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Could just be a shortage of rail cars or it's waiting on some part that was backordered or there could be a potential assembly line issue that is being investigated. Could be waiting on new parts for the cooled seat mechanism. No way to really tell for sure. Thanks. Re: rail cars - others seem to be coming in with later build dates, although I've read that's a problem. But perhaps it's among the other issues you mention. Are back orders usually over a month in coming? Any parts issues re: airbags and Takata problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Could be a rail shortage to a specific area but I'm really just guessing. A month seems like a long time for backordered parts. I'm not an employee so I don't have any inside info - just repeating things I've heard and seen over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll see what's available in another color and forget this particular vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedonut Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I've extended my Lexus lease another month and my dealership has ordered an MKX like the one we're waiting to be delivered to another dealer. If I wait for my order, I'll be extending that lease a second month. The MKX would be due in around Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedonut Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 How soon before the build date is the window sticker generated? My MKX has a scheduled build date of 12/07/2015 (Monday) but no window sticker comes up on search yet. I've checked: http://services.forddirect.fordvehicles.com/inventory/WindowSticker.pdf?vin= http://windowstickerlookup.com Last month I was tracking an MKX I thought my dealership would get from another dealer when it came. That window sticker was generated 9 days before the vehicle was built on 10/16!! They said that vehicle was due to arrive around 11/04-07, then 11/08-09, and hasn't arrived yet. Curious about why the plant would hold it so long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedonut Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) My car just showed up today on etis.ford.com. I was given a build date of 12.07.2015. I'm curious about the 08.12.2015 date that's being used. Is it some kind of 'dummy' fill-in date while the vehicle is being built? Or something else ... ?

akirby Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 ETIS is a European system. 08.12 is actually December 8th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedonut Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Sticker has to go on at the plant, so it has to be generated prior to build. My vehicle has been released and ready for shipment. Why can't I find the window sticker? Etis has just been updated and shows all info on the MKX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally found them (both the MKX and the MKZ we have coming) on researchmaniacs.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedonut Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 We've seen posts about to call CRX or UP for railcar status when following a vehicle that's shipped. Is there a website to check online for updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedonut Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) I've been tracking the slow movement of my car from Oakville, Ontario on 12/31/15 as far west as Blue Island, IL. yesterday. Today I checked and it's in Gibson, IN.!! Going the wrong way. The railcar numbers don't seem to work when I call UP. I have the railcar letters and numbers. Am I missing something that allows that info to translate from CNX to UP? I thought someone posted earlier ... somewhere ... that CNX tracks the shipment to destination even after UP picks it up?

Dedonut Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I tracked the railcar shipment on my MKX beginning just outside Chicago. It left Oakville, Ontario, Canada on 12/31/15 and arrived in Benicia, CA for offloading on Jan. 11 at 10:58am. I'm having the Xzilon treatment done before I pick it up so I don't have to take it right back. I should hear something from the dealer soon.
