Definitely aggravating. When I went in for them, they told me they needed to take pictures to prove that it was for a customer vehicle and not a dealer stock vehicle because Ford wants proof that they’re not just ordering badging for themselves. How true that is? Who knows. On the one hand it makes sense on the other, Ford could’ve just sent them out to the owners vs paying dealers to install them.
Are there actually dealers that say “stop in at your convenience?”
There is a sacrifice, you have to live in Ohio.
Well damn. I applaud your sacrifice and the benefits it affords you.
Lol that’s so annoying. But at least you know the dealer ordered them! It’s been a month for and haven’t heard and thing from my dealer. Will probably call again end of next week.
Lol I’m starting to think I’m gonna be stuck with these lame as blanks for a very long time. This is so stupid.
Do you know when they ordered them? I had mine ordered prior to Christmas so just wondering what to expect.
Yea I’m starting to think we are gonna have these blanks for a very long time. The most annoying part is seeing people take delivery of their tremor now and they have the vents , but we are still waiting. Wtf is ford doing ?
It can’t be that hard. My local dealer replaced mine. I bought the car in NJ, I live in NY. When I went to the first appointment in December, they checked to see if they had any badges in stock. They didn’t. They then explained what the procedure was. Take pictures of the truck, vin, etc in order to prove they weren’t just ordering them for dealer stock and that they were for a customer who took delivery. Then they ordered them and said they would call when they received them. The only “hiccup” in my case was the service advisor said they needed to be installed on a weekday and that they needed the truck for an entire day. Parts came in, I called back to schedule an appointment and lo and behold, a Saturday appointment wasn’t an issue. I showed up this past Saturday and I was back on the road in about an hour. The service advisor on Saturday even noted that ford only reimbursed them for .4 hours. Your local dealer is being an ass.
I mentioned this to the customer service person in a chat. They had no answer for this anomaly. Pisses me off though. Ford: "Lets screw the guys waiting for 9 mo. or more for their truck by putting them on the current trucks that customers have only been waiting a couple of months." Thanks Ford for prioritizing this!!!
I grabbed mine off my totaled truck and had a local autobody shop my dealer sent me to install them. There was zero adhesive. They're held on by typical body clips. It took the dude 10 total minutes to pull off blanks and reinstall the proper badges. Your dealer is a fucking liar.
Well shit, I guess I’ll be calling him tomorrow thanks for the heads up.
