KZLD is a carrier delay code and sounds like where mine is also. It means your car has been released from the factory to the carrier who is in possession of the vehicle. It’s just sitting on their loading lot waiting for a train (or car carrier). If this were a package, Jeep has dropped off the package at a local FedEx Office and they now have it. FedEx takes the package to their local sorting facility and it waits there to be shipped to a FedEx facility in the destination’s region. This is where we’re currently sitting. Once some amount of time has passed sitting there, it becomes a carrier delay and the D is added to the KZL.

I’m just blown away at the inefficiency of this process. The owner of the dealer told me my car will sit in 4-5 lots at various points from Detroit to Chicago. It isn’t until it arrives at its second Chicagoland lot where the actual car carrier goes to get it and brings it 45 minutes north to my dealer. Isn’t that crazy? Upwards of sitting in 5 different lots while traveling a whopping 5 hours from start to finish. Hopefully it’s not loaded and unloaded at each stop. I really wish I could just go pick it up…

I received an update yesterday, not the normal 'weekly' time spot of now Thursdays. I also talked to the Dealer, this is the status on mine as well. In the Transit process, KZLD. Too bad yours is going West, mine to the East. Could have filled up that train car for the 20 minute ride to the first site for days, then another 20 minutes, wash rinse repeat. 😒

What is crazy is that I’m getting different stories from the dealership when they go to get updates as well. Last week my sales person said they weren’t even using trains but only trucking. This week they’re claiming that they’re on hold for further inspection even though they’ve been released from the factory. I fired off an email to the CEO and head person that was referenced on an earlier post for client services. We shall see if we can get a straight story. The way I look at it is Stellantis is in control of the communication and that’s hot garbage.

Good lord is that really how the deliveries go? Sometimes it's best not to peek behind the curtain.

I wish there was a way to opt out of the delivery fee (remember we're paying for this "service"), because I love road trips and would go pick it up myself in a heartbeat.

Chevy created a special dealership for Vette owners, watch the assembly, engine, etc. and then pick it up across the street at the Vette Museum. Charge for the special service, make it happen. You get to drive home your sports car that day. My Best Friend is a big Vette dog, has done that for the last few, and is awaiting his next in 4-5 years! Unreal the wait list, etc. for them but he does it and loves it.

That could be a thing for these vehicles, see the engine assembled (only a V8 would do), or later (due to paint, etc.) pick it up at a specially coded dealership across the street. They have to deliver it to a Dealership for proper book keeping stuff, but obviously it can be done.

Yay!!! Don’t worry, Paige doesn’t mess around. If she says that’s when it will happen then that’s when it will happen. If the company handling delivery doesn’t show up during her window she will hunt them down and it won’t be quick (kind of like her company’s order process 😂). It’s what her morning gig is before she shows up to Stellantis in the late afternoon. Always struck me as the kind of gal who enjoys splashing salty lemonade on someone’s paper cut.

Maybe it’s because they are looking at them all to see if they have the correct axles.

On the FB forum, a guy with a build date in Feb and 350 miles on the car said he lost power to both rear tires. Said they told him he had two left rear axle rods.

um. Axles don’t have rods.

Turns out, there is a left axle shaft and a right axle shaft. The axle is off set and left one is shorter. He took a picture of the service notes and the mechanic said all the splines had sheared off. Obviously it wasn’t sitting the c-clip. I’m not even really sure how you could get it in there enough to put 350 miles on it.

If this was an 84 GW restore I could totally see doming f-ing up a mod and doing that. But brand new? 😳

Interesting. Are you still sitting with no ETA like me? What’s your dealer saying for yours?

See Domshome's note above.

Wow, I knew it is set up with independent suspension front and rear, and you are right. How did they get it in there? These parts are all to be staged and sequenced to run through the assembly line. Not only that, since they are different sizes, stunned. 😯

I think Paige is annoyed. I did ask questions, and this was the response.


Good Evening,
At this time we do not have any updates to provide.

I will continue to monitor and provide updates. I will followup on 4/14.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

I got some inside info today. My vehicle was built on 2/26, however was put on hold due to a HVAC software issue (along with every other Wagoneer/GW built end of Feb through Mid March. Yours, along with about 5800 others were upated and released during the last week of March. Your vehicle was moved from a storage facility to a shipping yard in Detroit, MI on 4/6. It's next leg is a railcar (train) from that particular shipping yard to FL then trucked to the dealer.

So I’m guessing another month, minimum. But it’s more than Paige was telling me!
