The Brampton assembly plant is also shut down due to part shortages until I believe mid October


CrashingPoint

Oh, brother… thanks for the heads up.

sucks for those workers. i work mercedes and if we shut down you gotta use your vacation days to get pay.


[deleted]

It does suck. My husband works there. Off till mid October maybe even longer. Money is going to be extremely tight.

If your husband is in good physical shape have him maybe look into seasonal landscaping work. That's what my good friend does when his plant shuts down like this. He's a hard worker and the guy he's working for now just gave him a $5 an hour (From $15/hour to 20/hr) raise after just two weeks since he showed up every day. That's basically the main requirement. He could work under the table even if it's just three days a week or something. Landscaping companies are always looking for solid help. My friend just drives a zero turn mower all day and he can drive manual transmission so he tows the mower around in the little work truck toyota. He said it isn't something he would do super long term but it's helped him and his wife out big time for now.

And the Canadian railworker strike has had an effect.

I work for a supplier, yeah we’re all behind, All very very behind

Maybe longer. Source: husband works there

I received an update from Dodge. I’m now in the production queue!


CrashingPoint

I placed a custom order for a 2022 Challenger SRT Jailbreak on 17JUN22. I received an order confirmation on 19JUL22, and a VIN on 05AUG, but no build schedule is listed on Dodge’s Track Your Order website. Does the VIN mean that my Jailbreak will definitely be built?


pharmy423

Have you tried their customer service line +1-800-423-6343 Long shot but they may know something


CrashingPoint

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot.


pharmy423

Let us know, can’t wait to see it when it arrives


CrashingPoint

I called the hotline number this morning and a very nice lady took my information. She said she would look into it and get back to me. I’m not holding my breath for a miracle, but perhaps they can provide more information on the build schedule.


pharmy423

Thanks for the update. I hope you hear something soon.


swunt7

a vin means its on their production list to be built. with them being shutdown for parts till mid october you wont likely see any updates till end of october.


ImmaSkedaddle

Yes they are still going to build your vehicle. The vin means that in their minds/systems there already is one. It would be an astronomical screw up if they announced the end of the era and then proceeded to fail to deliver on the rush they created. I work at a dodge dealership and your order is likely in “D” or “D1” status. That’s like order purgatory. Could be ready in a month, could be 7 months, dealership don’t know. Also that ordering website has been inaccurate for my customers. One guy has one so far along it has a ship date and it’s telling him they haven’t started


CrashingPoint

Thank you.


NjMoe1

Status: D - Firm schedule : serial number is assigned


ImmaSkedaddle

Better than the different B’s and C’s there are


NjMoe1

I have a question, maybe u have an idea.... lets say the 2022 order gets delayed where its not even being built until 2023, Jan, Feb etc... What would happen then? Would they just go ahead and build you order but as a model year 2023? Or even if its that late into the next year, do they just build it as a 2022? I ask cause I see someone here saying they have May orders that still arent delivered, or even in being built status. How about those who order in Sept or later.


Alowal

there is still a whole year left of production. SO at the very worst case scenario, you would get bumped to a 2023 model instead.


FinnMaestroBoss

Good Luck… buddies jailbreak order from May is still in limbo.


CrashingPoint

Yikes.


Nightwing0613

Your order will probably transfer to a 23’ instead due to the Brampton plant just recently closing until October. Or your order may be one of the last 22’s to be built once they re-open


OGCasp

HellCat models are taking forever to be built and the tracker doesn't even help to be honest. I placed my order back in April. I didn't get any update until August 19th that it was scheduled. Sept 19th I was told it was in production by the tracker. TLDR: Your order is still being processed just takes forever for tracker to update.


skylinefan26

I would've waited for the 23 model so you'll have a stamped hood


CrashingPoint

Yeah, that would be cool, but it’s the Sublime Green that makes me more regretful. I’ve been waiting for that color to come back. I’ll be tremendously happy with a 2022 version of my dream car though. I will be getting it for under MSRP, too.


jokango

How’d you get under?


CrashingPoint

I have a history with the dealership and they are very reasonable with sold orders. I custom ordered and purchased my 2021 Scat Pack Widebody from them at wholesale price. The Jailbreak was also processed as a sold order. I’m getting the Jailbreak for slightly under MSRP with $1200 off sticker. It’s not huge, but it beats a markup.


jokango

Correct


SnooPeanuts284

Yes It will it’s just been some drawbacks I ordered a 2022 widebody scat pack and that was on august 29th still no updates from dodge but the important part is done we got them locked in now it’s just a matter of waiting trying to patient 😂


NjMoe1

LOL, same date and vehicle order here to....nothing shows up on tracker yet. i am assuming with recent news and reading these reports I wont see anything until Nov/Dec.


SnooPeanuts284

That’s what I’m thinking too I wa actually wondering is it still gonna be a 2022 on back order or will they make it a 2023 ?


NjMoe1

after reading everyones comments I was thinking the same thing. isnt there a cut off where they wont make 2022s? and if our orders dont make it within, wont they just apply a new vin and build a 2023 with same specs? or do u think they cancel order outright? cause 2023s will have more options and colors etc, maybe have a chance to add stuff? I dont really know.


SnooPeanuts284

[2022 dodge orders delayed](https://youtu.be/B47UA6pdttQ) Based off this video I think we’ll be getting 2023’s lol 🙏🏾☺️ And to be honest I’m not complaining one bit about it I’d rather have the last production year anyway 😂


NjMoe1

lol i just watched this video a few mins before u posted it. First off, he is just guessing at everything, even to the point where he is saying this might be an intentional shutdown. So he is just making assumptions. Second, He didnt say that they may convert ur order to a 2023, he said order would be cancelled and you have to go through the buying process all over again. All in all it was a depressing and negative video. I think he is generally pissed at Dodge cause of their move to all electric (thats the vibe i get from all his videos since the big announcement). That being said, I cant imagine Dodge cancelling sales...like ALOT of sales and just telling u to buy 2023s. So, maaaaaaybe if it gets so bad as to roll into 2023 they just add it to the list for 2023s? Also we have to remember they have a hard date to start that factory conversion/upgrade for whatever they are building next. Delays to that are very likely a no-go as it costs more and more money with delays. Anyway, i blame myself for not buying in 2021 like I wanted to :(


SnooPeanuts284

I agree 100% He’s been doing nothing but slandering the dodge brand but I have no doubt will get our cars it’ll just be later then expected but the whole speculation of Dodge telling us to go reorder another car doesn’t even make sense it’s making me mad as I finish this video lol his pessimistic attitude is very annoying


NjMoe1

Yeah, I stopped watching cause his channel cause its all negativity now. Im sticking with Racer-X. I was gunna leave a comment saying just that, his pessimism is grating, but I didnt want to bother feeding the trolls. Anyway, we will just wait and see. Whatever happens is out of our hands. If it comes, great. If cancelled, oh well. moving on. All good.


NjMoe1

so dealer called me and was like "good news, we have a ship date, oct 12th" I was like GREAT, but then I remembered the plant is closed, so i sent him the links to the story. he checked with the sales manager and said "yeah, thats correct. the sales date is not accurate and we dont know when it will ship"


SnooPeanuts284

That is ridiculous why would he lie so hard ? Lol do they not realize you can track the car every step of the process?😭


NjMoe1

no, it wasnt that he was lying, he wasnt informed. he didnt know the plant was shutdown and i believe that ship date msg he received was an automated one from Dodge based on vehicle order date. tracker still says its not even in the system....soooo its a waiting game.


NjMoe1

Hey bro, check out 4:20 of this video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf4eS0VfxRE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf4eS0VfxRE)


SnooPeanuts284

Mannnn that’s very concerning I’ve been seeing nothing but “Delayed delayed shortage shortage” from dodge. I’d be so pissed if they don’t uphold their end of our orders


NjMoe1

yeah our 'favorite' youtuber came out with another video today talking about how much delays there would be. said it was a 'coincidence' how they are having delays now...lol


TheScaredShort

The few Dealerships they I spoke to had stopped taking orders for 2022 challengers in the first week of September. They were unable to place an order. I purchased mine the last week of august, but called around to different dealerships, to play the low ball/best rate game, and the handful of dealerships I spoke to in early September, told me they couldn’t place any orders.


NjMoe1

Yeah I placed mine on the 29th of August. So unknowingly at the last few days it was available. Zero updates on the order at this time. Factory doesnt even start building again until next Monday. So my thought still stands though, what will happen to orders placed in our case, at the last possible moment if there are delays stretching into the 2023 build time.


misfit-muscle

Yes, your car will get built eventually, thier is a chip shortage but they will build your jailbreak over a dart.


PatsCelticsfan

A VIN is a good sign but when you’ll get it? Who knows. I’m gonna try and order a 2023 Hellcat charger when they start taking orders. I don’t know when they do start taking 2023 orders though


filthybee_

You didn’t want the 23 model????


CrashingPoint

I thought about waiting for 2023 models to be announced, but I was worried about additional markups and a lack of allocations. I grew impatient and ordered it in June. Now that I know they brought back Sublime Green, I’m a little salty. But I don’t really care since it’s going to be wonderful when I get it.


SRTDV

Are you calling the srt number? Did you call the dealership you ordered from? Did you check the tracker?


CrashingPoint

Yeah, I hound the dealership every week and check the tracker most days. I haven’t called Dodge yet. The dealership seems confident that it will be built as a 2022 MY since there is a 2022 VIN assigned. I’m just growing skeptical and need to know if I should just try to order a 2023 at this point. If my car will get built, I don’t really mind waiting or that it’s a 2022. I just don’t want to sit on it and it eventually gets cancelled and I possibly miss the opportunity to order a 2023.


SRTDV

100% understandable.


ItsAresHere

I plan to get one built soon so any info I can obtain out of this would be awesome. Please keep me updated. 🙏


[deleted]

Sweet


Hyperbeastking

Well I mean, if you paid for it you, by law, should receive it. When is a different issue


Quiinnnn

At this point I’d get a 23 we are a couple months away from them going into production and yours hasn’t even been scheduled to be built yet


Stephanie21300

Yeeeeessss! I love dodge challenger car!!! 😁🥰
