I have an '08 FEH (bought in 07). Yesterday I got a letter in the mail from Ford wanting to sell me an Extended Warranty. Because I drive so little (8000/yr)...
A friend who has a VW Passat follows the recommendation of using better grade gas. While she might get 1 or 2 MPG better, her cost is higher. This is a fact...
What are the chances of something breaking during the next 4 years that will cost you $1630? Can you afford $86 per month? This is the gamble. They're betting...
I think I got the same letter, and I have some concerns that would have to be ironed out before I purchased such coverage. My letter lists specific items that...
Sue, All insurance is like that. I assume that if you have medical insurance you don't feel as though you are being "scammed", but in fact you are paying for ...
Higher octane gas has more oxygenates (often ethanol) and will get worse mileage since the O2 sensor will inject more fuel to make the oxygen levels correct...
I know I always had warranty in the back of my mind so I did something different. I have a 2006 and waited 3 yrs right before it ran out, then got warranty for...
Hi Robin, Having gone without medical insurance for five years, I understand fully how it works. I use the term "scammed" because that's just how I felt. It's...
I am VERY glad I bought the extended warranty! So far they have replaced the dash cluster and most of the A/C system on my '05 FEH under the extended warranty....
Robyn, There are only 3 parts covered under Ford's CA extended warranty. The electric generator motor, the transmission, and the traction battery. In...
Hello everyone, two years ago we decided to buy the FEH with the upholstery made from recycled fibers. The reality of a 3 year old cheerio gangster leaves us...
On the steepest hills, even when towing at 55+ MPH, I have never seen my MEC coolant temperature pass 100 degrees. Normally, it's only 60-88 degrees under...
Probably NOT worth it. These cars have proven to be very durable and reliable. The few repairs needed generally range in the hundreds of dollars, not...
I say no. Altho I just bought one for my '06 Jaguar, my 07 Mariner just purrs along. Some folks say "put the monthly payment in your savings account and...
Thanks everyone for the advise. I think I am going to take a wait and see approach. I still have a year left on my standard warranty so I'll hold off and see...
I have Scan Gauge II, a digital readout that connects to the FEH computer right under the dash. The beauty of this scan tool is that you can program in what...
We too are finding the recycled upholstery difficult to keep clean. I've found that you need to attack any spills quickly and make sure that you dry them as...
New Member Post Alert! We recently relocated to SF Bay Area from Portland due to health issues (wife developed MCS up there). Donated our 1991 Cavalier Wagon...
Nice little gaget Ron, I miss not havin a temp and volt gauge in my 2006 Escape like my other vehicles had. Sent from my iPod On May 26, 2009, at 10:07 PM,...
GREAT STORY! Just last night, I saw a TV ad for "Ford Trucks and SUV's" that said something about discounts and instant cash back and all that. For the...
Hi, all, Neil in Long Beach here... I (or more correctly, my wife) as been snookered by the local Ford/Lincoln-Mercury dealership which shall remain nameless...
VERY interesting story. Hard to prove the motive... The dealer COULD have thought the minder was set incorrectly, or could have done it by accident... or...
I know that on my 2007, the Oil Change Reminder, seems to trip not only by mileage, but also by time. I don't put 10K miles per year on mine, but the Oil...
To answer the first question (why it didn't seem odd to need the oil-change so soon/after only 5K miles), I apparently keyed it to the last time that I,...
No matter how I drove, I could not get more than 28MPG from the silver '09 FEH. First tank was 27MPG. Then it increased to 28 and held there for another 2...
I usually average 30-34 mpg in the Summer months. AWD FEH,so it is possible to get excellent mileage even with the four wheel drive vehicles. In the winter I...
... Hymotion was bought out by A123, just FYI. Not sure where the FEH stands in their plans, which seem to focus mainly on Priuses, since there are so many ...
... If you search a little you can find prices much lower than that. For example, one place lists a 7yr/100K PremiumCARE with no deductible for $1635. The...
Ford sent me one on my 07 FEH can't remember the site, but it was 7/100,000 for around 1400. Don't think it was the premium, but it let me customize it and I...
