Well, I still dont have my car, but at least I can see some more of it on YouTube while I wait. Here is James from MADinc who did the PPF on my car, channelling some of his inner Jason Cammisa on a video they shot with my car.
Looking forward to seeing the second video that will come in a...
Exactly what I thought a little earlier. If they keep telling us next week every week, sooner or later it won't be a lie. You know what they say about broken clocks 😁
Hey guys, I'm back with another update. I got this after really giving my dealer a hiding this morning and forcing them to chase down someone at Ford AU for an update. Moments after getting this info via my dealer, another contact from the other side of the country got very similar info to me...
If only our information was a bit more accurate 😋
On a serious note, I have actually wondered if its Ford US really letting Ford AU down here. Like maybe those dates we had, were given from Ford US to Ford AU, and then those dates werent met by Ford US. Who knows.
Yeah my dealer isn't so lucky either. They have a demo GT on the showroom floor next to my car affected by the same recall. The dealership has paid for the car already, but cannot let anyone drive it or demo it.
Yeah. And we had dates from two different sources inside Ford. That means even those insiders don't really know when it's happening with 100% accuracy. They don't even communicating properly inside Ford so what hope do we as customers have at that point 🤦🤷
Yeah I'm trying to be positive, but the only certainty so far is Ford inventing new ways to dissapoint. Olympic gold medal winners of disappointment if it was to be a sport that's for sure.
Anyone tried the locally produced Nxtzen products yet? I've been seeing them pop up in detailing videos recently but don't know much about them personally.
I actually thought of you and our conversation about Trace-less when I watched this yesterday. I never thought climate would make such a big difference before you and now Sandro mentioned it. Retrospectively it makes perfect sense.
From what I've been told, the fix Ford did to the vehicles in their possession, was a temporary fix which gets overwritten and lost the moment a dealer touches or updates the car during normal dealer update procedures. I think it might have even been done with special equipment that dealers...
I have a feeling this is exactly why officially they'll only commit to Q1 2025. If they give a more specific estimate and then there's a delay or they find some issue with the fix, everyone loses their shit.
I think the people giving us these unofficial estimates are telling us what they know...
Yeah really struggling to stay positive and not lose my shit at my dealship. I know it's not their fault, but man I feel like punching someone with a Ford logo on their shirt! 😁🤭
And the waiting game continues...
I don't have much info about why the fix wasn't released this week, only that the next estimate is that dealships should get it on the 29th.
Of course, like before, this information is NOT OFFICIAL! Take it for what it is. I'm merely sharing what I've been...
Yeah I get you man. I find it really tough to continue my excitement at this stage as well. I've gone through various cycles of excitement. I just hope it comes back when I finally take delivery.
I'm resting my hope more on what we had from Paul Maric, because he spoke to people inside of Ford Australia. Its as close to official as we can get right now. The Facebook post was just another coincidental confirmation that might confirm what Paul got.
I know! I was really hoping its was going to be this week because I'm away next week. Of course none of this info is official so who knows if its accurate, but its all we've got at the moment.
I'm refreshing all the sites and pages where I might get any info every 5 mins. I'm not all that...
