| I ordered my Light Ice Blue 4WD on May 9th with Z Plan. Through blueoval.com, I found out that it was manufactured on June 23rd and supposedly shipped on June 25th. Blueoval said the delay was "weather related" and then my saleman said something about a mass "quality control" check. My dealer (central NJ) received it some time last week while I was on vacation. There was a sticker on the window that stated it was driven for a quality control check. Hopefully this was normal and not due to some issue. Good luck to all those who are waiting. According to my salesman, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to which orders get built and when. | |

All, Just love this new ride. Highlights: -Torque -Brakes -Sync -Handling -Mileage (avg about 30 so far around town and highway) Ford did a great job. Now if I can find the Garage Door openner I'll be a happy camper. Off to the other boards. Regards,

Seen in Wisconsin Dells, WI this weekend. Was bought at Capital Ford, in Madison. Seen at dusk this time. Lots brighter when it's light out. Definitely an '09, by the grill and gas cap. Fit and finish looked good from the outside. Exactly what we ordered, except that the dealership will add a tow hitch for the bike rack.... if we even get confirmation of a VIN/build date in the next month. Otherwise, a non-hybrid 09 Escape is on order.  Haven't been able to figure out how to get pics to show here. Link is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bdwbjarvis/2769360487/ |

Replying to: ursacat (Aug 16, 2008 1:38 pm) I was also surprised to find that my 09 FEH (w/o Nav) did not include a simple homelink garage door feature and the little compartment up by the sunroof now is for sunglasses so you have to velcro your garage door opener somewhere. Wierd. I love the MS Sync system - works great with the ipod - who would have thought that MS and Apple worked it out. I hear from the service guys at Ford that that when the "plugable" model comes out they might issue a retrofit kit for our models. That would be cool. He also mentioned some chip that one could buy (and void the warranty) that extends the electric mode. more later.

I was hoping I would have a VIN etc to track soon. Tried the website - denied. Hope it's not a bad sign....

Replying to: ursacat (Aug 20, 2008 6:14 pm) Word from my dealer is that I'm next in line to go from order to production schedule, so I'm (hopefully) looking at mid to late October for delivery. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

| I order my FEHL May 10th. The dealer is still stating that he has heard nothing from Ford through the rep. I'm beginning to get worried- very worried. No Vin, no scheduling of any sort. Are there other early May orderers out there and what are you being told about the process? | |
