akaia15 Yes mine was scheduled for delivery very early. Forget exact date. Hopefully what ever they fixed on mine it works. My wife just picked the truck up said their are stone chips and marks from lots of people obviously getting in and out of it. She said someone obviously had a ring on opening the door lots. The door plate she said has lots of scratches on it also from their shoes.

I would be extremely pissed to spend that much on the truck, then wait this long, and then it show up with scratches and scuff marks. Unfortunately, a lot of ours will probably fit this same description (if we ever get them).

That is unacceptable. I'd make them fix it.

Now I'm confused, why didn't the sticker read something like 70 miles assuming the remaining 5 miles may have happened if she was moved around lots during the trek from MI

Or a different way of asking, who put the other 50 miles on it and when

Happens frequently that a vehicle comes in with the quality testing sticker on it but has more miles than the sticker shows. Now it's not normally this much difference.

I would venture to guess those miles were all from running to and from retrofit and storage areas. Or maybe Ramp 59 is 40 square miles?? :biggrin:

Here is a copy of the letter that was in my truck upon delivery.

Mine had 115 total miles, with the testing letter stating they put on 80 miles. Saw it come right off the truck, and it was quite trashed. All cleaned up fine, but it did have a few more miles than I expected. I also had 2 window stickers, one ripped inside the can and 2 pink 'vehicle complete' paper sings.

Jim,

What do you mean by trashed?

I've heard of quite a few vehicles having doors re sprayed and rear panels. Makes you wonder about the QC and what they actually do with the vehicles.

Mark,

From what Mark? How many you heard of that happening to and did they tell the customer?
