Are you on facebook - if you are - you can friend any of the "(fill in the blank) at ford" people, and they can help you track it. Jamie and Marc are the two names I see offering this service the most. Good luck and Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poker44666 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I believe it was August 13. I got my VIN number today as well. I ordered it on August 17th. The dealer did not give me the VIN, is this something I should request so I can track it myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a website that we can track it ourselves? I really do not want to give my vin to someone on facebook to do it for me. I know there are threads on the topic I just cannot remember.

The other website is http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/forum/80-vehicle-locator-by-ford-employees/ but you have to have ten posts on the website to even be able to post in this section and you are just creating a thread to have someone track your vin for you. It is a lot less private if you are concerned about that - at least on FB you are sending a private message. There is no way for you do to do it yourself, unless you work for ford and have access to the system they use. I used the blue oval site and it worked great, but just after that, a lot of rules popped up to help the guy doing it. Follow his rules and he is really helpful, don't and he won't.

igcitng Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I read my sticker incorrectly. My build date is not on it, it's blank. I thought the build date was the date on the bottom. Guess I will be waiting awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igcitng Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I decided to call the number in the link and they were very helpful. Edge is built and sitting in Ontario awaiting shipment, supposed to be here the 10th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisWeigl Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Does anyone know how often the transit info is updated? My 12 has been in transit since the middle of last week with an ETA of 10/3, but with no status updates as of today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWS Alpine Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 What's this now? I had not heard about this. Details??? Ford and the UAW are starting contract negotiations right now. They sent out strike info to employees incase they don't go well. So basically we can expect a strike soon. If they do I might have to cancel my order if it delays it more as I will not put up with this shit. Guess I deserve it for trying to buy American this time. http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/forum/11-ford-employee-forum/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unfortunate that this happens when so many people are fighting for jobs. Times have changed and they need to get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unfortunate that this happens when so many people are fighting for jobs. Times have changed and they need to get over it. I am hoping to get some info this week or next. Sales guy had no VIN info yesterday. Fortunately only Ford can strike apparently because of the government money given to the other american automakers.

Waldo Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 First of all the UAW negotiations are complete, so there will be no strike. Second of all the Edge is built in Canada by the CAW, so they wouldn't go on strike at the same time anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
