FergsFusion Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hey Everyone, I'm new here and can't wait to get the 2012 FF SEL AWD I ordered! I ordered it the beginning of June and found out it hasn't been started yet! Anyone hear anything about navigation issues?? Not sure what's up but this is the reason for the hold up. I was told my car would arrive in 8-12 weeks, does that sound right? Thank you in advance for any info you may have. Happy Driving! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Last I heard was that the Job 1 for Nav was November. Better ask your sales person to check the dealer news bulletin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? does this mean they don't start installing Nav until November 2011? :unsure: I HOPE NOT! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusionpursuit Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 If you gotta wait, better hope they actually put Ford MyTouch NAV in it. that would have been cool 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 November for Fusion, Escape and Flex Nav. units. Trucks TBD. Ask your sales person to check it for you. Things can change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FergsFusion Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 November for Fusion, Escape and Flex Nav. units. Trucks TBD. Ask your sales person to check it for you. Things can change. What is the My Touch Nav?? Sorry, haven't had a Ford for a while. Salesperson said as of 6/23 car still not started but the delivery time of 8-12 weeks has not changed. He said I SHOULD still have the car the first week of Sept. Wouldn't they just start the car and worry about the nav later?? I cannot wait until November for this car although it would be easier to sell my Envoy in the winter. If they don't start it soon they're going to hear me! Thanks for listening and your help. Where do you find true updated info on Ford?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusionpursuit Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 What is the My Touch Nav?? The Ford MyTouch is the 2nd Generation Ford Sync. It was rolled out in the 2011 Edge and 2012 Focus which has a fancy animated display on the dash panel and the center panel if paired with a NAV, but unfortunately nothing for the 2012 Fusion, I think it will be provided in the 2013 new generation It requires a totally different gauge dash as well as the NAV screen Unit. the newer Lincolns have Lincoln Mytouch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Dealerships have access to the Ford intranet for scheduling and availability information. We can't get to it. They can check their Dealer News Bulletin for ordering and build information. Other sites give them status information on specific vehicles. Ask if they have a DORA for your vehicle yet, and if your unit can be scheduled. Sounds like you are not getting the full information. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011se25 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Wouldn't they just start the car and worry about the nav later?? No, in the large scale assembly of cars they don't want half made cars hanging around, so they wait till they have all the parts, then send it through the assembly line till it's driving out the back door complete. Then hopefully loaded onto a truck / train and shipped off. EDIT: Oops, didn't see this is an old thread.

sbradke Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I ordered a 2012 Fusion Hybrid in mid June. I am told that the car is built but waiting the navigation system. No one is telling me how long. If it's really November, why in the world would they have taken orders in June? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I ordered a 2012 Fusion Hybrid in mid June. I am told that the car is built but waiting the navigation system. No one is telling me how long. If it's really November, why in the world would they have taken orders in June? They don't normally build vehicles with missing parts. If it's on hold due to Nav then it hasn't been built yet. There are some Nav systems available, just not enough for all vehicle lines. And word is they may be reappearing sooner than November. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
