#366 of 706 2009 Order Not Scheduled Yet by fmorriso May 22, 2008 (7:15 am)
As of May 21, 2008, my 2009 FEHL that I ordered on April 20, 2008 has not been scheduled for production. My dealer reports my order is “clean, but not scheduled”.   Has anyone else who ordered around the same time been told, via the official Ford ordering computer at their dealer, that their vehicle has been scheduled for production?   I hope this will help straighten out the confusion about when the FEH/FEHL will be scheduled vs. the gasoline models. One source of information says scheduling for all 2009 Escapes began May 15 while another says May 15 was for gasoline models while hybrids won’t be scheduled until mid-September. Others say the mid-September scheduling date is for fleet sales and that we should believe that scheduling of the hybrids began on May 15.   In this age of computers, I would hope that a retail order placed within the first three days of the official ordering date would be scheduled by now. Then again, if somebody at Ford is doing the scheduling by pushing little magnets around on a board or using chalk and a blackboard, I might need to wait a bit longer.

Unless your dealer has some type of special relationship with his Ford factory rep, plan on waiting 4 to 5 months for delivery.

Replying to: fmorriso (May 22, 2008 7:15 am) On another site I read a post by someone who said that their Ford dealer told them that scheduling of all Escapes (Hybrid & Gasoline) have been delayed approximately one week, but his dealer expected for the scheduling to be done within the next week or so. My order is in the system as well and ready to be scheduled as soon as Ford begins scheduling. I wouldn't expect to see many prior to the end of July or early August. Since I didn't order mine until May 8th, I don't think I'll see it until around August 15th. Replies to this message: fmorriso (May 23, 2008 2:32 am)

Replying to: burnsva (May 22, 2008 10:32 am) I'm not so much interested in when delivery is expected as I am in knowing if your order has been scheduled.
#371 of 706 Ford Escape = overtime, rest of Ford = cut backs by fmorriso May 23, 2008 (12:51 pm)
According to this article in the Kansas City star, it sounds like the plant where the Ford Escape Hybrid is built is working overtime while the rest of Ford either has or is gettng ready to cut back on production of trucks and SUVs: http://www.kansascity.com/business/v-print/story/632189.html Replies to this message: troybarwick (May 24, 2008 12:29 pm) fmorriso (May 24, 2008 3:08 pm) burnsva (May 24, 2008 5:20 pm)
#372 of 706 dealer won't let me order by troybarwick May 24, 2008 (12:29 pm)
Replying to: fmorriso (May 23, 2008 12:51 pm) I just tried to order an 09 at Rick Hunt Ford in Warrenton, VA. The salesman told me they won't be able to take orders until August. What's the deal? Replies to this message: fmorriso (May 24, 2008 3:08 pm) burnsva (May 24, 2008 5:20 pm)

Replying to: troybarwick (May 24, 2008 12:29 pm) That's wrong. My dealer entered my order on April 20, exactly three days after first day ordering opened up.

Replying to: troybarwick (May 24, 2008 12:29 pm) I encountered the same thing with some dealers in VA. Most of which are trying to sell '08s. My sugestion, find another dealer. Ted Britt in Fairfax, Purvis in Fredericksburg or Richmond Ford in Richmond.
#375 of 706 Backing to the fleet only delay by bjcarter May 25, 2008 (2:50 pm)
This would seem to support the fleet only delay issue. Funny that a material hold would apply only to fleet orders...   http://www.arifleet.com/efnews/ef2008/EF804.pdf
