So I have a day 2 rez, and my dealer sent me the order summary sheet on Jan 25. The priority code was 99. Order was for a 4 door Badlands/Sas/V6/MIC.
I emailed the dealer 5 times since I signed the summary sheet asking why my order status was 99. He never responded. I also never received the confirmation email from Ford due to the 99 status.
I sent the salesman a strongly-worded email a few days ago about me being unhappy with my order being held and assigned 99 status, and his lack of communication. He called me yesterday, and basically told me that his store is inputting every single order as 99 status "because the GM wants to review every order, and will input them/change status when he thinks Ford has the proper amount of parts on hand to produce the order". Salesman also said he has no idea when the GM will decide to change my order status.
WTF?
This is seriously not sitting well with me since this allows the dealer to basically pick and choose which orders get put into the system, and is ripe for shenanigans allowing the dealer to put in orders for VIPS or people willing to pay more ahead of people like me who have been patiently waiting.
Am I off base here?
Is it too late to switch to a more honest dealer since the March 19 deadline has passed?
