Etienne Bégin Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I ordered my Edge Sport early Feb and I still don't have a VIN ! Summer up here (Quebec area) is pretty short, and I was hoping to enjoy driving my new car as much as possible while it's nice and warm. The color I picked is electric spice.. I got all options except for the inflatable belt. I know there are delays with the 21" wheels so that's why I've been waiting. I have asked for a status on the build last week and the only thing the salesmen can tell me is that he's got no VIN. Is there any other information he could get from Ford ? In any case this is my first Ford! (I have previously owned VW, Mazda, Mitsubishi) I am very excited about this new design. Etienne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hum099 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) If you have the Drivers Assistance Package (Adaptive cruise control) it was listed as late availability. It was originally scheduled for May 4th and now it shows as first week of September. Check out the link below. I would contact your sales person. I'm not sure if they got parts in for the May 4th build and do not have enough, hence the September date. (this is only a guess) http://www.donlen.com/production-cars-ford.aspx Edited May 5, 2015 by Hum099 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why my sales person is not keeping me informed of these delays. Has this been a known fact for a long time ? Etienne.

cds71 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) About 2 weeks.....I had the same issue. Once I found oubout the delay, I decided to buy one of the sports they had in transit....identical to the one I ordered....just no 51d. I took ownership of my new sport last sat and the wife an I are loving it! I found more useful info on this site than the dealer ever gave me.

Hum099 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) I have ordered a sport with all the goodies. I'm just waiting to hear back from my sales guy. He was checking to see if they got any in stock (adaptive Cruise) and if so was mine scheduled to get it. If I do have to wait until September I will be doing what you did. Order it without the 51d Edited May 5, 2015 by Hum099 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etienne Bégin Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 My salesrep says the 51D is not delayed and that they actually received an Edge with the 51D group. The only delay I have is due to the 21" rims. I will contact FordService and see if I can get help. There is conflicting information coming from my rep and what I find on the web ! Etienne.

cds71 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hmmm...thats strange cause Ive seen a local dealer with a spice with 21" rim....but Im 99.9% sure the 51D is not available until sept....my guess is they orderd the 51D, and that vehical came in, and the 51D was left out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cds71 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I just checked the entire inventory of alberta(34 edge sports)...and none have the 51D....but there are 6 edge sports with the 21" rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum099 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Pretty much the same in Toronto, Oakville. No 51D. A few with 21" wheels. Edited May 5, 2015 by Hum099 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure your dealer has this backward. The delay is the 51D package and not the 21" rims, which are currently shipping (they were delayed however and released several weeks ago). I know this because I ordered my sport accordingly and have a VIN for a sport with the 21" and without the 51d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingNut Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 If your dealer has one on the lot with 51D, have him provide you a Window Sticker and stock #. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnetic Edge Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Personally, I would not be waiting for the 51D package as Adaptive Cruise is a nice feature it's not worth waiting until Sept for. Especially since Adaptive Steering is not included in the package anymore (not even making it on the '15's anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cds71 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 adaptive steering is a computer controlled speed ratio steering system.....it was slated to be part of the 51D and was pulled in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etienne Bégin Posted May 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I went to the dealer today and my sales rep still says the 51D is available and that the only hold up I had on the production of my car was the 21" rims. He said the edge in the lot had the 51D package, so I took note of the VIN: 2FMTK4AP7FBB29513 It was a very busy day so we could not discuss more. I told him that if he made a mistake, and delayed the delivery, because he failed to mention an option I took was delayed till September - he would loose that sale. Is it possible to double check this information on the web ? I went to ford etis and it's difficult to identify what the missing options would be. Etienne.

Etienne Bégin Posted May 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Just curious is it possible for me to get the information and show to my dealer ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnetic Edge Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 I would find another dealer. As stated above this vehicle does not have the 51D, especially since it's still not available. http://fordlabels.webview.biz/webviewhybrid/WindowSticker.aspx?vin=2FMTK4AP7FBB29513 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
