What you are saying is probably correct for the context of newspaper delivery. Perhaps you can clear up some confusion I have from reading the posts here on...
... I have the old style ScanGage I, and I'd like to upgrade to a ScanGage II. I have it complete with original box, packaging, documentation, etc. If you're...
I just purchased a 2006 FEH AWD which I intend to use as a work vehicle. I am a rural mail carrier in SE Kansas. My route is about 80 miles long with at least...
Replaced the dome light fixture with a 7" LCD screen. Ran the wires down along the support column behind the moldings between the Front and rear driver side...
To a clueless author who compares a base Escape -- manual tranny, no options at all -- to a loaded 4WD Escape Hybrid, and says the MPGs are "equal"? ...
I attended the FEH thingie in Sacramento this evening (I was there for about 45 minutes. The event was 2 hours). The noteworthy info: 1) Mr. Head Engineer...
Yes. Very Cool. Thanks for sharing. And yes, I know several Hybrid design team members and engineers to DO read this exact board. I guess just the couple...
I just sent the following letter to the editor of the New York Times: Although Jerry Garrett apparently liked the 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid, that wasn't apparent...
In the review referenced, it states that, "Ford says this is the first hybrid with alternative-fuel capability, having been approved to run on E85 ethanol."...
Its because the author is ill informed (what a suprise considering the rest of the article). The FEH is NOT E85 and will not be until the next model year....
HI , I've just joined this group and I have a 2007 4WD Escape hybrid. I am getting 32/33 mpg overall. This has been a big improvement over the Explorer I...
Hey Mark, Remind me not to go rummaging under the hood of your car. Those gazzappeters can hurt. Did I ever tell you about the Ford coil I had when I was a...
It sounds like the Ford Engineers all have different driving abilities and what may work for one, may not work for everyone else. I'd be interrested to find...
... under ... That's my plan. Somewhere within sight of an exit ramp, I pull it into "L" around 50 MPH with my foot completely off the throttle (I also turn...
Sue... every FEH has always been able to go to EV in N below 40 MPH. Yours is not unique, or abnormal. Neutral only locks the mode under 6MPH or stopped. I...
... I have paid attention to the charge/ assist meter while braking or shifting to low (L). Does it make sense to translate the distance the meter needle...
... A few of those ways: 1. My HCH gets better mileage than my FEH, but it looks funny with 400 lbs in the trunk. My friend's Escape V-6 has less usable power...
My 2005 FEH has developed an annoying problem with its navigation system: frequently it seems to "get lost"; i.e. the map will show our location to be one...
Note the status of the direction information when this happens. Is that information (IE: N, S, E, W, variaitons thereof...) in white? Or is it yellow or red?...
Hi all, I took my 2006 MMH fro 10.000 scheduled maintenance on Saturday to The Ford Store in Morgan Hill. Got the car the same day, normal stuff replace oil...
I'd check to see if it is leaking oil anywhere. I guess is the smoke is due to hot oil on a hot engine...but your guess is as good as mine...that could produce...
Got the car back. They went through everything and found no leakage or any problem with the engine. Drove back home, no smoke. Service manager didn't...
Doesn't sound like burning oil though... that produces blue/white-ish smoke. Dark gray smoke sounds like particulate matter, like an old diesel engine. Maybe...
Could be that when they changed the oil they put a little to much in. The Hybrid requires only 4.5 quarts and your tech probably put the usual whole 5 qts in,...
I went and checked. You are right. The oil level is above the Max line. I also checked the Service Record, it says 5 quarts. I got to get the service manager. ...
The following article is interesting: Scientific American, July 2006, page 27, "A New Take on Hybrids". You can get it digitally at sciamdigital.com, for a...
