I hope this is all good news for quality. I'd rather wait 6 months and get a rock solid car than have it rushed to production and be in the shop all the time.
We should snitch the dealers ourselves to Ford to solve this issue quicker.
Dealers upload financial data to Ford each month. Ford them prepares financial statement that is very detailed. The reason Ford prepares its own is so their representatives that call on the dealership all follow the same format. There is a 6 inch binder that details on how to read the statement and details each line, what they mean, and what is good or bad. Submitting your financial data is a requirement to participate in all rebate programs. While it doesn't detail out an individual sale, but does group models together, it does show you the overall health of a dealer. it will show trends such as overcharging, etc. So "snitching" on dealer is not required.
Imma be honest. I'd be mad if it blows up. But I'll be happy at the same time bc that is a free car if it blows and damages other stuff. That's a lawsuit, a lemon, and free paid car bc Ford would have to eat all the cost. And in the future you get paid after they settle with being sued lol. But I prefer to not have it blow up. It's a slow process to get it taken car of.
I have already called Ford customer service and reported about half a dozen dealers near me for $10-15k markups on DH. To follow up, I mailed a letter to customer service in Dearborn about the same issue. I was all ready to put down big money on a DH, but I refuse to pay ADMs. If/when they reply I'll post here what the result was.
Good job man. If more people did the same like you it should be on top of the discussion list of Ford. Ford knows about this, and sometimes they quickly speak about it, but it's not of a big thing yet. Sometimes we complain, but we don't take actions ourselfs cause we think that we, as an individual don't have any power against a large company. But what we forget is that we are a community and we are their costumers. If we all did what is neccessary, a lot of things would be fixed and dealt with a lot quicker.
A lot of people got this email, but no where in the email does it say anything about production not starting until Sept.Has anyone else heard/seen this?
Apparently it was duplicated information, even though it was just posted this morning.
