AlabamaRon Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Ordered Taurus SHO on Sept. 29 VIN 1FAHP2KTXAG124597 When I try to get the window sticker (based on the Link I was given previously), it says it is not available, which I have been told would be the answer up until approximately a week of the production date. But when I call Customer Care I am told it is in production and scheduled for the day of Nov 2. That is four days away and still no window sticker. Any idea what is going on with my order? Thanks for any help. AlabamaRon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help. AlabamaRon It's up there now. Looks like it's still scheduled during the week you were told. I remember mine didn't go up until a day or two before. I think the sticker site updates sometime on Sunday, so that may be why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlabamaRon Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 It's in the yard in Chicago awaiting shipment. Good luck. Cal1, Thanks for the Info!! If I may ask, how did you get this info? Do you work at the Chicago plant, did you actually see it in the yard or do you have access to a computer inventory system. I was told by Ford Customer Service Center Monday that my car had been made Nov 2, and by their latest report (Nov 3) it was at ramp79 waiting shipment. Could this have been the same report you read (a week old today) or was your report current or did you actually see it in the yard if you work at that plant. Just hoping it was on its way. Another Taurus with the same production date (Nov 2) was already showing up on my dealerships current inventory even though it has not arrived yet. Thanks again for your help.

AlabamaRon Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 It's in the yard in Chicago awaiting shipment. Good luck. cal1, Another question please! I understand that the Chicago Assembly Plant is currently shut down for at least a week due to a shortage of transmission parts from India. Since the plant is shut down, would the shipping yard also be shut down during this same time? I'm concerned that my car might get locked in the shipping yard for the duration of this Furlough period. Thanks BamaRon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlabamaRon Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 It's in the yard in Chicago awaiting shipment. Good luck. cal1, One more question please! I understand that the Chicago plant is shut down for at least the next week due to a shortage of trasmission parts from India due to a plant strike there. During this shutdown at the Chicago Assembly Plant, would the shipping yard also be shut down? I am worried that my car will get locked up in the shipping yard until this furlough period is over.

Thanks BamaRon I'm beginning to lose faith in Ford's Customer Care. My dealer has two 2010 Taurus on order, my SHO and a Limited, that were both built on Nov.2 according to the available online window stickers. Customer Care tells me that my car is built and and is still waiting for shipment with no esitmated arrival date (the same message I have gotten since Nov. 4). With the other Taurus made on the same date as my SHO Taurus, Customer Care tells me it has been shipped with an estimated arrrival date of Nov. 25 (it actually arrived Nov 11 at the dealership). So what gives? First why is Ford's Customer Care so far off the true status of these cars and second how can two cars made on the same day be so seperated on the delivery date to the same dealership? P.S. I can call Customer Care twice in a couple of minutes, get two different employees and get two totally different status reports on my car. Any suggestions besides just relax and wait?

Can I have someone provide order status: 1FAHP2KTXAG126723 MANY THANKS!!!!! Kashakoor Your car was ordered the same day my SHO was ordered. My build date was Nov 2. You can look at some of the other posts on this site and find the hppt address for a site that will print your window sticker close to the time your car has been built. Just go to the site with one of the other listed VIN numbers and substitute your VIN into the hppt address. Your car shows that it was built Nov 6. This date is shown at the top left of the window sticker. You can also call Ford Customer care number 1-800-392-3673 and work your way through the phone options until you get a live person and ask them to track the status of your new car order and give them the VIN. As you can read in my previous posts, some of the employees that answer will give you some good info, but others are lazy or no not know how to look any info up for you. My dealer has actually received a Taurus that was built on the same day as mine, Nov 2, but mine continues to show as waiting to be shipped for the last 12 days now. Good luck getting some up-to-date info. BamaRon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kashakoor Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 BamaRon, Many thanks for the information. I've visited the website and have obtained a sticker. Hopefully i'll have a suprise at some point over the next few weeks. Again, many thanks my friend. Kashakoor Your car was ordered the same day my SHO was ordered. My build date was Nov 2.

mirek Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 AlabamaRon: Did you ever get your SHO? I ordered one on Oct 3rd, with a build date of November 5th (VIN 1FAHP2KT3AG126787 ), and as of yesterday it was still sitting up in Chicago waiting to be shipped... that's two weeks just sitting there... I'm guessing you are in Alabama (so am I), so curious when yours actually shipped and if you got it. Thanks, Mirek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since now I know you are in Alabama also, email me and I may be able to give you some more help on tracking your car. If you give me your phone number, I will call you and let you know a few more details on how they ship the cars that my help. AlabamaRon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirek Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Thanks for all the info in the other post BamaRon, I'm just glad that yours has shipped and is on it's way, I'll call the CS number on Monday or try and get a hold of my dealer this weekend to see if they can tell me any more info about mine. Have a good weekend, Mirek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
