Default Re: Roll call for those of us waiting

I ordered my FEH on May 27th. 2007 and it was delivered to me here in Eastern Massachusetts on Friday August 24th, 2007-almost 13 weeks later. I was told by my Ford Dealer that the reason for the delay was the Ford Plant was only able to produce 5 vehicles a week. I was orginally told that I would have my FEH in 4-6 weeks but due to an unusually large number of orders they were not able to meet demand. I picked up my FEH yesterday the 25th, and I am very happy except it didn't come with the keyless keypad which was something I specially asked for. The Salesman and myself searched all of his information and we couldn't determine if it was even something they offered. Anyway, going to call Service Manager tomorrow to see if an after market one can be installed. On the Ford website it looks like you can get one installed on the car when you order. Too much confusion with dealer and website. Since the dealers don't even have any 2008's on the lot they aren't familiar with the new design at all. It's like the blind leading the blind. Oh well.
