Anyone received a "Goodwill" check from Ford yet? (for overstating the MPG?)

[howardbc]

I was wondering if anyone has received their "goodwill" check from Ford yet? This is the one that we all will get for Ford overstating the MPG on a Fusion Energi. I'd like to have an idea when I might receive mine. 'Sure will be welcomed. 

 

There was a very nice article about Ford's openness at reporting the mileage error in MPG estimates and how they are getting high marks for being so forth-coming and willing to make amends. This is very refreshing, especially for a car manufacturer. I have had no complaints about the MPG I've been getting and do not regret for one minute that I bought the FFE.

Let me know if you have any idea when FFE customers will receive their checks. Thanks.

One of the regulars on the hybrid forum has already received his, they are to be mailed between now and September but who knows in what order -- by name, purchase date, VIN order, etc?

Thanks, jeff_h. At least that gives me some idea that I should receive mine by the end of September.

Thanks so much! If I was supposed to fill out the form in the link you sent, I was completely unaware of that. Anyhow, I did fill it out and it certainly gave me the confidence that Ford knows about me. 

 

This forum has always been so helpful. Thanks again.

Awesome! I leased my energies so I'll only be getting 525 but its 525 more than I had before September :)

Hmmm I'm wondering if this will effect me... since I just leased my 2 days ago (July 18).

If the car you acquired had the revised fuel economy numbers on the window sticker, no.  If it didn't (had the old numbers), you would have a case to get it.

Darn.... Oh well :)

So much to my surprise, I got this check too.  I bought mine on 6/19, a week or so after the announcement.  When I go back and re-read the statement from Ford about it, there doesn't really seem to be anything specific about "if you bought/leased before this date", so I wonder if this would still happen to someone that bought a 2013/14 model even now?  Thanks Ford!
