Anyone else experiencing a significant delay in receiving their Passport? I Live in Des Moines, test drove February 2 and put $500 down on a passport elite. Initially was supposed to receive car February 5-9. They keep pushing the date back, and still have not received. Just got this email from the sales person I am working with:

“I have some unfortunate news. They have pushed back dealers getting these Passports until mid-late March. Of course, as you have seen, the timeline is subject to change. So, maybe it is possible they will get this quality control deal figured out sooner too. I know you have been waiting so patiently already and I/we appreciate that. It will be worth the wait!!”

Bummer, I hope you get your new ride soon. Can you talk them into a few goodies for the car.

Do you know if the delay is due to the one known recall (Telematics Control Unit?), or are there other issues involved?

Not sure, but if it could be over a month delay, maybe there is more to the story...

I'm picking up my White Pearl Touring tomorrow. The TCU has been swapped (or so the dealer says) at the port (distribution center). I hope to god there's nothing else wrong quality wise. It seems awfully strange that your car is still 3 weeks away from delivery. Does the Elite trims have other issues ?

That’s a good question - is everyone else receiving their Elites as scheduled? I’ve noticed that our dealership has a few Touring available at the lot, but no Elites.

Strange..... Local dealer here is showing 25 Passports on the lot this morning.

I got my Elite a week late, I had suspected it was the recal that held it back..
