2012 Crush Waiting Room...

For those of us who have been waiting for the Crush builds to begin I think we need to have our own thread. I dunno how many of us there are but I've been in contact with actually very few. All of us seem to be stuck in D status since early to mid August. That was OK/understandable until the announced start date of 9/6. Naive I may be but I expected at least a move to D1 and some plan to build on or just after 9/6. None yet for me. No idea here as to whether they actually did start on 9/6

So, I start this thread to help keep us informed together in hopes that we will come back here when anyone notices movement in their status, or has news. We are all as anxious as all the guys who have/love their jeeps were back in July and August when they received their orders.

For me...still in D...:whistling:

Mine is in the rail yard bay...parking lot ?..and due to be loaded on rail car tomorrow. Only then will I know it's coming to me soon. A LOT of guys have been stuck in the parking bay for weeks... Sorry to be negative but so far it's been the norm.

And..BTW, VOTS still shows it's getting trimmed out :rolleyes: Vots helped some but now it's way behind.

Maybe tomorrow. Once it starts....on vots...it goes pretty fast. Insight does not seem to move as fast on occasion. For me frame to built, inspected, at rail yard in two days..

I really hope you and Lady J...and the others....move out soon.

I am glad you Orange folks are finally seeing some movement. Really. I almost felt bad reporting on my status. :rolleyes: I'm loving mine, I am sure you will too. Hang in there!

Are any of you with D1 status or higher getting an unlimited sahara. I ordered mine 8/17 and no movement but did get a vin the next day. My cousin works at the dealer and when he does a search in dealer software he can't even select crush as a color to search for other jeeps already built anywhere in US. As he put it they don't exist yet. His software even shows the ones in transit or scheduled to ship. What are they building?
 
#746 ·
Not that I know of, I have asked the same questions a couple times and didnt really get much of a response. I know for fact that mine and LadyJane is Shahara Unlimited and we are in the same boat, I order mine on 8/22 and I think Lady ordered her's around the same time as you. I wish somebody at Jeep could give us some/any feedback...

Crush is called Header Orange on the order confirmations.

The Matts, TheAxe, and I are all Sahara Unlimited. We are all still in D. Join the party.

That's because the date passed and it wasn't loaded on railcar.

Wow...lotta strange things seem to be going on with Vots and Insight. Mine is still "in bay" but at least it's built. That's on Insight. Vots says it's shipped.

Yeah, I know...you all hate me...:hide:
VOTS does nothing after the point where it's built. So once it goes to logistics for shipping, they mark it shipped. Insight will be your best updates from here. Also, once it actually ships, even though it's a sold order, it will show up on your dealer's website as In Transit.

Rubi Unlimited. Vots in "frame". Insight still D1.:dance:
Insight's next update will be I - built. They don't update for frame, paint, etc.

I think I'm still stuck in 'C' as well but I have gotten conflicting information from the different sources.

I really hope that some of the options I chose isnt adding to my delay.

Did you possible order either the Black leather or the 7 spoke Polished Alum Whls?
Nope on those two. Dual tops, side airbags, auto air conditioner, black top (didn't want the color top), max tow, 3.73, leather (saddle), automatic, limited slip and connectivity.

Just called dealer and now he is fired up ... Going up a level in Chrysler because he too is wondering how I could be in C after 5 weeks.

Ok, just got a call back! He went to a higher power and is saying mine will go D->D1 on Monday. Made it sound like production had not started but would on Monday. Definitely mentioned that the color was the holdup but that it had been released for October production.

Most companies now use exception processing.
If so many Jeeps are suppose to be loaded on rail cars on Oct 6, how many do not make it?
Then why not?
Normally this shows the problem areas.
This would be easy for Jeep to do. Surprised that they have not done it.
It would be easy to link to Jeep’s other systems/programs and give info to everyone.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have accurate info in real time?
One could also have digital photos emailed at key points.
This is one of the things I and my company does.
Also crush is starting to grow on me!

Mine says shipment and it shows vehicles on a truck. My insight says 'in bay at facility' which is a parking lot at the rail yard. It was supposed to be loaded on a rail car today but not happening I guess.

Cool....mine's on the rail car headed home. :dance:

LJ, I asked the engineer to wait for you but he said his boss is 2012-Rubi and to get goin'...:flowers:
