I ordered my new Dart on November 26th. Got a confirmation email from Dodge on the 29th saying it was being processed at the plant. Have not seen any change everytime I go back. Not sure if its taking long because of the holiday or because they havent updated it yet. I am really just seeing how long it took from production stage to frame? Its been 3.5 weeks and nothing has changed.
Maybe I shouldnt be worried. How long was it for anyone else?
I ordered my dart back around the same time and it is at the rail yard and will be delivered on Monday. Suzq ordered hers a week before me and she still hasn't gotten hers. I think it is based on model and options. What trips level and options did you order?
Orders typically take 6-8 weeks. Everything depends on the configuration you built and if the parts are available to build your car. If there is a part missing your order status will sit in BX status until there's parts available. You may get caught in a small holiday break so it may take slightly longer. Just be patient and your Dart will magically appear on the dealers lot. Judging from the 3.5 weeks you mentioned you're about halfway through the waiting process. Again, because of the holidays you may have to wait a tiny bit longer than normal. I'm not sure if the Belvidere plant where they mark the Dart is closing for a few days for Christmas or not.
I ordered mine November 28th, and haven't heard anything from Dodge. I check in with the dealer about once a week for status updates and was told on Dec 21 that it's in production and should be a few more weeks. Hoping the 2nd week of January because of the holidays? Seems like I'm the only one who hasn't heard from Dodge directly. That makes me nervous...
good question - Actually, it'd be cool if there were somewhere that tells us what each status means.
I know D1, which means they haven't gotten everything from the suppliers to start building.
Which is where mine is currently stuck (just before the factory break). An aquaintence over @ Allpar told me. (Moparian)
It doesn't even have a delivery ETA yet. :\
"I" status means built, but not OK'd. That means that something is wrong with it. Anything could be wrong. Bad fender. Bad parts from the supplier. It needs repair. Better to have it fixed in the factory than in the dealership. At least we know what we are doing. Just kidding, but some techs are still figuring this car out. That's all I meant by that.
NEWS!! I just got an email Friday that my car is now in the process of being built in the plant and should be expected ship date to my dealer Jan 20th!! I AM PUMPED! Almost 5 weeks in D1 status!
