Now I hear it too.. At 15,000 miles, I noticed I can hear the sound of the AC clutch. Clearly that's what it is. Any imminent failure associated with this? ...
The A/C is required for the machine to do its hybrid thing (cooling the battery). It might be just the belt slipping a bit as it engages, in any case I'd get...
It's the same sound that AC clutches have made when they engage for the last forty years. Is this something that needs to be fixed or will it continue...
... Mine has continued unchanged for almost 10,000 miles. I will have it checked soon at the 40,000 mile service. -- Jim Chinnis Warrenton, Virginia, USA...
As I recall I only heard it on my Ford ZX2. I took it in, it didn't come back afterwards... I also had alot of chirping and sqwauking on my Ford Probe from...
I apologize for the nasty spam posted here yesterday. I try to monitor at least twice a day usually but they get through. Please drop a quick email to me at: ...
If any of you follow blogs and video blogs you probably already know Amanda Congdon from her previous days at the daily online news show Rocketboom. Anyway,...
I figure its about time to replace these. Any recommendations as to use only Motorcraft filters or other brands? If others, what brand/part number? - John...
I've never seen anyone else offer a filter for the HV battery other than Motorcraft. If you find one let me know. As for the front... be careful. Our engine...
My 2005 FWD Escape Hybrid is squeaking intermitantly at low speeds. It seems to start after I've been "On" the breaks for a period of time (like waiting in the...
Someone else suggested that some of these squeaks are because the hybrid uses the brake pads so little. If thats the case another thing you can try is when...
Hi everyone, Is there an after market alarm system that will work and not cause any problem on FEH? I'm looking for one that can silently page me when someone...
There are ones that "fit" from other manufacturers with or without a slight retrofit. I found a motorcycle engine filter ( Yamaha I think ) that fits the rear...
I'm rolling onto time for my first non-dealer oil change / filter service milestone. Commuting 120 miles a day does that rather quickly it seems. <G> Any tips?...
JiffyLube is a fine choice. I've had people tell me urban legend stories about JiffyLube never changing oil filters, but my experience is that they are...
I can't fault a business for trying, nicely, to upsell. It's what they do and I accept it if it's done appropriately. Scaring me into buying something WILL get...
15,000 miles on a full synth. oil ( Like Mobil 1 ) will be just fine. I went 13,000 miles on mine and the oil was very clean and not even black when I took it...
... The owners' ... My owners manual recommends a Synthetic blend - I went to Kragen and looked for Oil that met the Ford spec specified in the manual and the ...
I'd certainly be interested in the Yamaha filter. Just took mine in for 10K oil change and they didn't have the rear air filter, even with a weeks lead time....
I had a slow leak in my front passenger tire and had it repaired. The low pressure indicator light came on to warn me about it and I was glad. However, the...
Hi Sue, I don't know if I should thank you. I just wish that what happened to my vehicle happen to you too. Moving is not the solution from these guys, you...
Since this isn't a law enforcement group and since wishing bad fortune on someone else usually isn't productive, I'd just hope you find a solution to your...
How did the tire guy fix your tire? Did he put any "slime" or tire sealant in there? You can't use it with the tire pressure sensors. It will gum them up,...
More than likely your dent was "inadvertant".... (you can read that as some LAZY A** who doesn't give a crap about anyone but themselves). If they wanted to...
I have a bone to pick with your statement below. Your "stock" tires are not "cheap" and they are special Low Rolling Resistance ( LRR ) tires, and are NOT of...
I agree with John. The Continental tires on my FEH have worked very well at the higher air pressure and the rough road driving I do. The tread wear after...
I just watched a Goss' Garage segment on MotorWeek that dealt with tire pressure monitoring systems (TMS). There is valve-stem-based systems and another used...
