Is it possible the poor relationship is between the dealer and the factory and you’re caught in the middle?

 

[grandsport754]

2 different dealers go figure

 

[Vet Rider]

Maybe order from Jake or Craig and stop with the garbage dealer you’re using.

Not sure why you're blaming Dodge, they don't know you or have a grudge against you. Would you rather they string you along for months and then just never be able to build it. Your frustration and anger is misguided.

It's the dealers you are choosing.

Car world is the toughest it's been in decades right now. And now thanks to the POS in Russia...on top of covid....it isn't going to get better.

OK then I guess Dodge personally doesn't want to sell you a car. 🤷‍♂️ You should probably get really mad and disparage Dodge to anyone that will listen.

Better answer for you?

Man I've never seen anything like the current pricing/ordering situation. Between the ridiculous gouging with dealers, MSRP getting jacked, allocation BS, forced models to get options, and now even if you agree to all of the BS - you cant even order one.

Did you have a deposit down? Did they not have allocations?

I know right! It’s like a bad horror movie out there, I’m not found of the process but I at least know from the get go to keep my nose brown till it’s in the garage

Ukraine war could worsen chip shortages and jack up phone and car prices in the U.S.

Expect higher gas prices at the pump and potentially higher cell phone and car prices, due to chip shortages exacerbated by the war.

Ukraine supplies 90% of the Neon Gas that is needed to make chips. Gulp.

3000 deposit on red eye widebody with jake, jailbreak no through chapman

maybe that's why the hellcat neon sign I was looking at on the dodge merch site this morning seemed more expensive than the last time I looked 😆

I don’t understand it….I haven’t bought a vehicle off a dealer’s lot in 40 years, always ordered and never a problem. I ordered two vehicles last year, a Charger HC and Ford Raptor. Both vehicles arrived 3 months to the day. While I was waiting for the Raptor I read all kinds of stories about dealer funny business, but who knows what the true stories actually are. I would think the factories wouldn’t look to favorable at shady dealers, especially if they’re receiving complaints.

I'd blame Dodge, too. If Dodge is willing to accept the orders, they should be willing to complete them as well. It doesn't sound to me as the dealerships are cancelling the orders, and this isn't the first instance of this happening in recent months.

Are you 100% sure your dealer had an allotment for a JB?

 

[grandsport754]

going back to red eye wide body ,i will put hood pins and stripes and red belts after purchase, and look to have leather and carbon fiber interior done down the road

 

[Sub-lime SP]

The allotment theory makes more sense to me. Before I found a dealer with an available Raptor allotment, I had one dealer more than willing to take a deposit telling me he would get more allotted even though his allotment was sold. If I listen to him I wouldn’t have a truck and I’m sure it would be the factory’s fault!

Not cool.

This is 2022, in the decade of supply-chain woes. The order(s) may have been cancelled due to a supply issue way, way up the food-chain.

I'm in IT, so I'll give an example I can. You - the customer - order a Lenovo server from me after I provide a quote based on a tender from them. Do you blame me when the server is cancelled by Lenovo? Do you blame Lenovo when they can't make that model due to a shortage in a specific part from Seagate? Do you blame Seagate who can't make that part due to not being able to land a component from TSMC? Do you blame TSMC that they couldn't make the component due to a fire?

Blame isn't helpful. Things are very, very interconnected and the whole manufacturing world is struggling. Many businesses are having trouble with packaging because there's a cardboard shortage due to two years of massively increased shipping crap to homes. Same with food packaging. Taco Bell didn't have any sauce in my city for about five weeks, and had notices that some food might be in KFC packaging due to no supply of TB-branded wrappings. Sure, some places are jacking up prices because they can pretend to have supply issues. But things are screwed up and unpredictable and concluding "Dodge are bad guys" is really, really superficial.

I’m still not convinced there isn’t something else happening here. When I order my 21 dodge the dealer told me they could only place retail orders no dealer stock orders. I know with the Gen 3 raptors the orders that weren’t being fulfilled were dealer orders. If a dealer had 3 allocations only the retail allocations were prioritized. So some of the people who put deposits down on a dealer stock allocation lost out. I still just find it hard to believe that dodge would just nilly willy cancel someone’s order.
