I have to agree that Budman seems VERY knowledgable, but I have only seen one person (on this site) that has gone to JS. (I still read JS as being the holding spot prior to shipping and not necessarily a place to put a defective car). If anyone has been taken from a K## status to a JS status please let us know. I am anxious for my car to start being built and would like to know if the assembly is really in trouble or not. This last post shows another one going through just fine, late, but fine.

I am stating again, that I confess to being a novice at this...... And, I do defer to the expertise of others.

Thanks, Dave

 

The post above show's that Budman is correct. Look closely and you will see that it is in a storage bay at Sterling Heights Assy, MI

Bay information: 42 13

I want mine as bad as anyone, but facts are facts. This could be a very short delay, and I hope it is.
Keep in mind DiamDave, that the 800 number seems to be a day behind. More then once Budman has posted things a day or two before I find it else where.

I have yet to see a badge higher then 01xx/6400. That is less then 200 cars and we have no idea on the exact number sent to dealers.
We should know more tomorrow, but I start with Budman's post and work from there.

 

Thank you for your answer....again, I do not know much compared to most, but the post says status KZ...not downgraded to JS, or changed to a problem code.....it's all confusing.

The codes I see would have to change to KZ - OA, OB, OC or OD....or as stated in this thread downgraded to JS. I hope in the morning all are moving along just fine.

Again, very confusing....

Thank you all for the constant info,

Dave

 

Update on the Approximately 800 Challengers that are on a shipping hold. The problem has been found and the Dodge engineers have a fix for the cars. The issue is a possible pinch point in the wiring harness that would short and cause the fuse to blow that operates the shifter for the automatic transmission. I would like to thank the Dodge quality team and engineers for catching and fixing this issue before more Challengers hit the streets. There are Approximately 500 cars at Windsor in storage and 300 at the Brampton Plant in storage and receiving the fix. The Plant has had the modification in place since 6/4 pm shift. Car’s will probably begin shipping tonight

 

Thanks for all the info Budman ! Let's hope they get them to us soon !

 

Way to go Budman Thanks for all the info .

 

Thanks again for all of your info!!! Imagine if this was not found and we all started to have problems! I can't wait......as far as Iknow I'm still in D status....unless someone can find out if I'm not VIN 8H302160


Thanks again Budman,

Dave

 

I know the feeling DaimDave... D is all I have seen

Can someone please check 8H300590 and even perhaps lie to me? j/k
