Hello, We have both an 06 FEH and an 07 Prius. The FEH feels more solid than the Prius, but has fewer techie gadgets. FEH likes: gas mileage and runs cleaner,...
My husband has an 04 Jetta TDI, he runs it on bio-diesel, increases his gas mileage and actually makes the car quieter. He absolutely LOVES his, so good luck....
Neil, I have only had my "08 for a little over a month and am already in love. I got rid of my '97 Explorer which was hard to do, but I am already averaging ...
When the selector is set to AC - recirc, we have a closed system, like a refrigerator. The only source of air flow is the air in the cabin. The AC compressor,...
Neil -- I live in Reno, Nevada, which is around 4,300' in elevation. It can be quite hilly around town, varying up to a couple hundred feet in elevation. ...
Try it. I have. You will see you are more wrong than right. :) ... ____________________________________________________________________________________ ...
Given the number of us that LOVE the 4WD of our FEH's, I've got to believe yours has a problem. But, gven that you are getting rid of it, it's probably not...
That price is ridiculous. But I guess the seller is banking on a sucker being born every day. Luckily, you are more informed. If anyone has actually worn-out...
I would only claim that the price is ridiculous, if it was more than retail price from Ford. I believe, this is not. Warranty would not cover battery packs...
If your battery pack is damaged, then your insurance company gets to pay for the new pack; you probably have a $500 deductible. I believe a dealer can get you...
The Ford guy that was my host at the 2005 Escape Experience in Dearborn acknowledged that Ford did lose money on every FEH sold at that time. I don't know if...
...and I think we can rest assured that FoMoCo had lobbied the Fed hard for preferential "renewable energy" tax-breaks to bring these vehicles to market, and...
Three likely scenarios come to mind: 1. The batter is being sold by the vehicle owner, who is having the original battery replaced with a "plug-in" unit; 2....
Has someone actually gone over 100,000 miles? Ford's warranty is 100,000 miles on my FEH in Michigan and I think it was 120,000 or 150,000 miles in greener...
Re; preventing rust near the beach. Years ago, I did some experiments on how damaged steels develop rust (part of an analysis of vehicle damage in auto...
Good morning / afternoon, ALL! Thank you for sharing your personal experiences on the Escape Hybrid -- Paula & I appreciate the insights, and the resulting...
I am not as sure as you are, that an insurance company would pay to "total" a FEH, and then pay again for a new battery for someone attempting to rebuild it....
I insured the first FEH that Esurance.Com had and they soon were able to discount me...I have looked around and not found lower. They also insured my son's...
Huh? If you got rear-ended, then you would need a repair. Your insurance company would pay the cost, after deductible, for that repair, even if you needed a...
As an FYI..... While out in Dearborn they spent considerable time trying to dispel the rumor that they bought all of the technology an did not develop any of...
... Belief is a wonderful thing. Fact is, the compressor runs nearly all the time when you're in a mode that calls for refrigeration. The temperature of the...
Congratulations and welcome! ... I do too! For many years, I drove F_ series pickup trucks for that very reason. I grew to like the idea of seeing farther down...
... I live in New Hampshire but bought my FEH in Massachusetts. I have the benefit of the MA warranty. But also the MA Lemon Law as well as the NH Lemon Law. ...
#3 - If and when the two merge, that point will be moot. I was a Sirius subscriber already. However the built in radio wasn't an option in '05 so I have an...
A good bit of the development came from their relationship with Volvo. Nobody said "Green" was cheap. Just because they don't turn a profit on each unit...
... Are you sure about that? I don't know about MA specifically, but I read language on a CA warranty sheet that said that the CA warranty does not apply to...
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Escape_Hybrid The Escape Hybrid uses technology similar to that used in Toyota's Prius, which led Ford to license a...
