Just got this email today... 3 1/2 weeks after hitting D1... At first I thought it said entered production.. Not sure if this really means much at all

I got the same email today regarding my 4Xe. My order date was 9/4/23 and scheduled 9/15/23, so my order dates line up about the same as yours. Maybe they are moving a batch of 4Xe through, although not sure how considering the strike.

New to the forum, and placed an order through my dealership about 2 weeks ago, right at the beginning of the strike. The dealer is telling me that the new order has a VIN and stock number, but I have yet to receive any emails from Jeep regarding progress. Do you think this is because of the strike, or did others have to wait a little while before the emails started?

Thanks!

I never got any e-mails from Jeep about the order until I opened a ticket on it. All info was from my dealer/salesman. You can log into the Jeep tracker with your order number and VIN, but it's not very accurate.

Unless you get lucky like me. Day 95 and my order still doesn't show up on the tracker. I also had to open a ticket, now I get an email ever 2 weeks or so telling me "good new, we have your order but no idea when we will actually build it."

Those are the ones I get too! Hey at least it lets you know they haven't forgotten about it--maybe

How can they provide you with an estimated delivery date in the middle of a strike? They are doing you a disservice by giving you a date that is meaningless. What if the strike lasts into November? A lot of us here on the forum have built vehicles that are pending delivery. Clearly, noone knows when they will ship. Not a good situation to be in, but giving you false hope isn't cool.

No false hope here! I have been waiting like others, any news is good news. My dealer has been excellent at communicating any updates they receive. Believe me I was shocked when it moved to d1.

Placed a Willys 4XE order 8/27. Arrived at the dealer 9/28. Picked up yesterday. Traded in a 23 Bronco. Glad to be back with Jeep. Before the Bronco I had a 21 Willys Gladiator.

Nice, Ordered Willy 4xe 8/5. Still no movement other then the dealer saying D1 status.

Was your order similar to one coming in or did you track it through production?

This is most likely nothing more than Stellantis not being able to do anything currently except scheduling. Which is why you went D1. Your dealer got an update of this. Estimated delivery is about 5 weeks after D1 in their system. Same thing happened to me and many others around here. I ordered 6/16. Received D1 6 6/20. Was told it would arrive 7/30. It never went E. Im still waiting.

I tracked it through production. I did order from a smaller dealer. Not sure if that makes a difference at all.

I feel your pain. It took 112 days before I could use any of the trackers. The order was scheduled on 6/22 with no movement after that until one day after the strike started. An email was delivered stating that my order was in the production queue for 9/25. Gee, thanks a lot! ?

Reached out to my dealer and I’m finally at D status after 27 Days at C. Trackers still shows C, but any movement is exciting.

You go to D when you get your VIN, you’ll only see C status on tracker, the next movement you’ll see is when you go into D1 status.

Scheduled:

C = tentative schedule

D = firm schedule: serial number assigned

D1 = gateline: unit sequenced for production, est ship date assigned



Build:

E = framing

F = paint

G = trim



Built:

I = unit built, pending final inspection

J = vehicle passed final inspection but not released to carrier

JB = shipped to body vendor

JE = shipped to emissions

JJ = consigned to body vendor

JS = shipped to storage

KZ = released by plant and invoiced

I went into this expecting to wait. I was getting a manual, so knew it was going to be a long time. I was expecting them to say December, but its looking like it will be after the new year. At least I wasn't too far off.

Well, well, well…. Trying not get my hopes up, but my dealership just told me that my vehicle was released from the factory today. Next step is for it to be loaded on a carrier and transported to NY, so it could be another couple of weeks.

Even the dealership was surprised, but it seems there is still some movement in Toledo. I seriously wish I could buy lunch to those employees.

I’ll post if/when the actual delivery materializes. In the meantime, don’t lose hope!

PS: Thank you @GrumpyOldVet and @kbow for encouraging me to contact my dealership.

Most of the time, companies will pull non-union employees from other plants to keep operations going at snails pace. But at least they try to keep things moving.
