My salesman called this afternoon and said he found out the ship date for mine 8h289529 is 06-02. about 2 1/2 weeks.

I finally got a response from Dodge by email. I requested the build and delivery date.
This is so darn funny. The information I requested is either not available or proprietary. WHAT THE HECK?
I think we can all spell big joke.

RRUNNER

Oh, it's proprietary all right...they don't want you to know.

this is getting uglier by the day..i swear i am going to either buy a honda accord or some high mileage yoda..i am thru with american car companies..i feel for you guys who paid in full the costs of your chally...but how in the heck can a build date be top secret?..that just floors myself and is another indication that the big 3 do not care about customers and have refused to learn the lesson of the past 30 years...all of em are still stuck in the 60's..

I am past being anger about the piece of sheet metal and plastic. There was a reason I wanted hisdarn car and I have waited most of my life and a few more weeks won't kill me. However, it really makes me wonder if anyone at Dodge has a clue. I really believe that there is so much information under cover that few if any can get an answer. On this site and others we have wondered how the build order is being determined. At first we thought color, options, date of order, vin sequence or other logical assumptions. None of these are correct. I have observed that many of you have been given a build date after your dealer went through the regional manager. I asked a few questions today and light may have come through. It is a bribe system.
The dealer calls, the RM says, I don't know, he makes few calls, and gets back with the dealer.
It goes something like this, the date is 6/0x if you order this, this and that. That is why 292xxx is built before 289xxx. My dealer refuses to play the game, I wish Dodge would call me, I may want this, this, and that but the process is like dishonest politicians. I won't mention any name ablut that, pick one yourself.

I would be willing to bet that most if not all are built before the first week in January........ Tha does not explane the way Dodge has treated the customer, or how it makes the dealer look bad, but that's the bet.

THE SAD FACT IS MOST OF US WANT THIS CAR BECAUSE WE ONCE OWNED ONE OR NOW CAN AFFORD ONE THAT IS BRAND NEW AND NOT A 1970 BASKET CASE (NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT ) WE JUST WANT A HONEST ANSWER REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE DECIDE AFTER WE GET THE ANSWER..WAIT FOR THE 09 GO BUY A HONDA OR YODA WHATEVER ..MOST OF US HAS SUPPORTED DODGE SINCE ??????????? I HAVE SINCE THE LATE 70'S AND EARLY 80'S WHEN THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE MADE PAYROLL THAT WEEK.NOW HERE WE ARE MONEY IN HAND DROOLING LIKE A BUNCH OF 10 YEAR OLDS LOOKING AT AT OUR FIRST PLAYBOY AND STLL LEFT HOLDING IT YOUR HAND SAYING "WHAT THE F..."
