Grabber Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 My Shelby GT500 has been sitting at ground Transportation since 1/22/07. The VOPC has told me it is on a "Plant Quality Hold". I just talked to Ralph and he said that all Shelby's are on a Quality hold right now because they found 3 with a problem in the shifting mechinism. They have to now check them all before any get shipped out to see if the shifter needs to be replaced. So if your car has not shipped.....that is why. I am glad they found the problem and hope none got shipped with the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could there be something with the coupes that is not affecting the vert? I get an update tomorrow but it should be close to Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildosvt Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I smell a recall Nah. I doubt its that bad. The numbers are low so Im sure it will be an easy fix. It may just be isolated to job 2 parts. You know, Save a dime put in their pocket? Which in turn creates a problem they overlook. Yeah, I know all too well about this.

Rob The dealer voice activate line has been my source of information. I was assigned a rail car last Weds. Confirmed that it was loaded on Friday. Confirmed it was on the way yesterday, and found it was heading to the Chicago terminal. Told to call back tomorrow to confirm delivery and mark it for early delivery. When I called last Monday while my car was in quility hold the attendent on the voice activated system patched me through to the plant and we talked to someone in quality control who was looking at my car. He confirmed it was released from quality control. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCobra666 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Sorry to hear this fellas, hang in there! Hopefully whatever the problem is its not serious or widespread. My shifter was a bit stiff when I first got it, but its gotten lossened up now and its not half bad. At least on the surface it seems to be fine. Anyway, I hope they get it resolved and get your cars underway soon. yourattention.wavGood update Rob. I was caught up in the emergency brake cable thing, delaying my car about 2 weeks. Hope they get it fixed soon. Hang in there...I know your fingernails are getting short. Dave Fingernails? What are these fingernails of which you speak? I dont know about these guys but I had no fingernails left before I even got VIN. By the time I got my car I was chewing on me knuckles and my wait was realatively short. Hopefully, my fingers will grow back..wont they? KC666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my dealers permission, so I guess it is ok. They have much better info than CS. As of now(9:30est) we are still on plant quality hold per VOPC. Next I called CS who told me my car should be here any day that my ETA was wk of 1/28-2/4. I told him what my dealer(VOPC) said , he put me on hold and came back and confirmed we are on plant wide hold with no ETA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68fastback Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Hopefully it's someting simple, like the linkage not being adjusted right ....or something like that. I'm guessig they won't release 'em until they're sure the prob is solved for the line, and then fix/adjust the held units for release. The suspense of findig out wxactly what the prob was is killin' me! :blink: Maybe they're putting the Steeda in from the factory . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's any consolation, I heard the exact same thing around Jan 10th then my car was delivered at the dealer Jan. 20th. The point is don't get too bent out of shape. It's frustrating but the QC hold won't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
