Rickoval Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Ordered a 2018 in May but Ford chose not to make it. 2019 retail order, #xxxx. Dealer ordered a matching order, #xxxx. Both placed in last two weeks of June. Learned that dealer order will be made sooner than retail order. Got VIN for dealer order, #xxxxx. COTUS shows nothing for either. Dealer is Fxxxx. Interested in learning when the dealer order will be made. I understand there will be a QC hold. Thank you.

Rickoval Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Surprised at the lack of activity in these forums... Summary: Ordered a 2018 Fusion Energi in early May. Dealer had used up their allocation and did not disclose that. Ford dealer rep was supposed to get it made, no idea if he tried, appears he maybe checked other dealers on order vehicles to trade. No way he was going to find one. By the time they fessed up, not many 2018s around that matched my specs. They ordered a 2019, then provided misleading info about when it would be made, also placed a dealer order thinking it would be made first. Then Ford cancelled all dealer orders (I read here) and made them reorder. My order slated for Sept 10th production and delivery in early October, dealer order a month later. Total disregard that I am waiting now 4+ months and 2019 rebates awful as compared with $11,007 2018 rebates if leased. Dealer rep made repeated promises and never followed through. Dealer claimed to be checking their trade area for matches. Last week I found perfect match, asked dealer to get it, they responded it was held for a customer. Days later still showing on Cars.com and dealer site. I emailed that dealer, said available for sale, asked if he would do dealer trade. He agreed a day later because he said he could not do out of state lease (wrong). Told my dealer to get it and expect delivery in a few days. Disappointed with dealer, who I was moving my business to from another after my longtime salesperson retired and didn't like the vibe there. Dealt with dealer GM at new dealership, he has work to do after failing miserably here. Looking for a Fusion Energi forum to learn tips and tricks. F150forum is great for my truck.

Rickoval Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Thanks for the link. But the Fusion Energi forum has zero entries. Many threads in other sections haven't had posts in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
