Hit-By-Thunder Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Well I finally got an answer. When I emailed them on the 16th of May, they sent an automated resonce saying in 3-4 days I will have an answer ORIGINAL LETTER Brief Description: after 9 weeks, where is my car? Comments: I ordered a fully loaded SXT AWD 2009 Dodge Journey March 14th 2008 and had a Shiiping date of April 23rd. Still no car after today (9th week) Dealer says it is in code D1 D1 means it is,.. D1 – gateline: plant has sequenced the unit for production, estimated ship date assigned. I contacted the dealer through e-mail and if the car is not in by the 10th week we will just cancel the order. Please contact us either through phone or e-mail with the status of this order Thank you for your attention to this matter Robert (the unhappy customer) NOT TOO BAD,........ IF IT CAME BY PONY EXPRESS!!!!!!!!!!! Dear Mr. XXXXXXX: Thank you for your email of May 16th, 2008.

Information regarding specific orders is available to dealers. It is subsequently their responsibility to keep their customers apprised of both Chrysler's and their dealership's efforts regarding a vehicle contract. As such, please remain in contact with the Sales Manager at your Chrysler dealership in order to review the status of your new vehicle order. While we regret that we cannot provide a more favourable reply, we appreciate you taking the time to contact us. NOTE: Please do not use the 'Reply' function of your email.

NiceTrip Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 That is excellent news Rob!! I don't think anyone deserves to get their new Journey more than you. Way to go!

kconnors Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Good to hear this Rob. What a Soap Opera this is turning out to be. I keep looking at this site to see the latest twist and turn. Maybe CTV would be interested for their next Sit Com. Anyway I think the long wait will be worth it in the end. Still not many on the roads yet. So far I saw one Black R/T ahead of me on the highway and of course we waved, sort of like motorcycles passing. All the best Rob!

Yes "Soap Opera" IT IS BUILT!!!!!!! OMG!!!! GIDDY UP!!!!!! yes, I so very F@#$king excited sorry for the enthusiasm!!!!!!!!!!! for those who want to know. If you go to the recall site (dodge .ca then "for owners, then to recall information) and type in your VIN # and it comes up as "not a Valid VIN", this means it is N O T built yet. Today, ours came up as an SXT AWD Hatchback. Last night it was an invalid VIN. This is for Canadian customers only as you can't check on status of the order in Canada other than the dealer, TRUST ME, I have tried soooooooooo hard. I figured this out for myself and now pass it onto you other Buyers here in Canada. I am going to stoip by the dealer tomorrow and tell them it is built, when do we get it!!!!!!!!!! OH BY THE WAY, I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!! where is the wife Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjsieps Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 WOW, what a "journey" you've been on just trying to get a Journey!! I feel very blessed...ordered mine April 23 and was told it would take 10 weeks and it arrived today, only 6 weeks later! It's just too bad I won't be able to see it for another 2 weeks because I ordered it through a dealer where I used to live and I wasn't initially expecting it for another 4 weeks so I can't make the trip for a couple more weeks. Glad to hear it's finally on it's way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit-By-Thunder Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Better hope the flooding doesnt wash away the rail line-lots of diversions going on down there because of washouts thank you for the heads up and after some digging,... Customer Bulletin: Update 4 - Line Outage - Watertown Subdivision, Wisconsin High water levels and adverse weather continue to impact segments of Canadian Pacific's rail line between Portage, WI and Milwaukee, WI, along our Minneapolis to Chicago corridor. CP train operations in this area remain suspended. CP is staging some trains and rerouting other trains around the affected area, where possible. CP personnel will be inspecting the rail line in the affected areas after flood waters recede. This may not occur for several days. Given the current rate at which flood waters are rising and the unpredictable weather patterns in the region, full operational recovery cannot be predicted at this time. Additionally, the flooding is now impacting many other transportation alternatives in the region and as a consequence CP is taking the following actions: 1. Canadian Pacific is declaring that an event of Force Majeure has occurred. This declaration was effective 00:30am, June 10th, 2008. If you have any questions about your specific commercial agreement, please contact your Account Manager. 2. We are issuing embargoes on selected traffic, from, to and through the affected area to help manage fluidity. These will be posted separately on our website. A permitting process to provide some limited relief will be made available as soon as possible. It is our intention to keep you posted regularly on the flood situation, the rail operation and the status of any embargoes. we will see in a week what the update is I guess, yes "what a Journey to get our Journey" Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
