I have noticed a decrease in the EV to ICE transition harshness and a regretable loss in the ICE spin up as engine braking in my 05 FEH after the battery...
Does it make any sense to be saying this? Could this be a placebo effect? I cannot think of any logical way how the battery harness preventative maintenance (...
Part of the recall was a update to the PCM software - hence the changes. ... ______________________________________________________________________ ... ...

Chris, a relay went bad on my FEH and I had to have it towed to the dealership. The recall work was done after a week of trying to find out why my FEH wouldn't...
On my '08 MMH, I would regen in "L" while braking. With the cold weather (eastern PA), I find that even with the battery showing less than 3/4 charge, I get...
No, I think that is normal. Mine does that too. I'm not sure the exact reason, but the battery has to warm up a bit I believe. In my car, this goes away...
Dear Listmates, Our Kermit the frog green and black 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid is damaged and in limbo in Salt Lake City Utah. Kermit has 12,000 miles and was ...
Mike, my 08 wont regen under like 30 degrees or something until the batt warms up a bit, Also, when going down a very long hill in low, the batt tops off, then...
Hi all. Just a question here. Is there any harm from doing a blend of green and factory ( yellow ) antifreeze in your coolent system(s)??? I know Ford says...
I noticed a change after the HV battery modification with jumper wire installed at the dealer. I have not had the mod to my 2005 yet, but in a friend's 2006...
The green anti freeze I use is clearly marked "safe to mix" and mentions yellow and orange. I'm sure someone else will know more of the details though. ... ...
Ford tested the car in very low tempurature conditions with the factory antifreeze with no ill effects. I would not mix or use green since the antifreeze cools...
John/group: The difference is in the additive package. Not a good idea to mix unless it's absolutely necessary. Then a cooling system flush and replacement...
You might find me a bit of an engineer that just can't leave anything alone. However, just got an 08, system seems remarkably similar to Toyota Prius. Would...
I'm looking if there can be an EV switch like the Prius? Anyone have any idea. ... ______________________________________________________________________ ... ...
... In the Prius, the EV Mode is already programmed into the computer, given that the Prius comes equipped with the EV button in Europe. All that's missing in...
Lots of us are wanting a way to do this. Toyota has this "feature" built in. All you needed to do was activate it. Ford has no such provision. Ford always...
What IS the world coming to, when there is/are more than one "color" of anti-freeze.? If in the similar position - and all that was needed was a few ounces to...
There has been ample evidence through multiple posts from the icy parts of the nation that the hybrid function is delayed by c-c-cold weather. Even here in...
Yes, it does help to keep the HV battery warm. The temperature of the battery = how many amps you get to use. It does not exactly enable / disable EV. The...
The Ford Hybrid Escape control code was never written with a pure EV only mode as you are thinking with the Prius and it's button. That is why you are not...
I found this group while looking for anyone else who had an experience like my latest. I recently took my 2005 Escape Hybrid on a 1,000 mile road trip. About...
The whirring sound is the pressurizing of the brake hydraulic system. Unsure of the clicking. Try to isolate where it is coming from. Mike '07 & 08 MMH ...
Thanks Mike. It sounds like it's coming from the right front area of the vehicle. I am dropping off the vehicle in the morning so hopefully they will be able...
OK I finally heard back from the service department. Apparently there is some sort of problem with the hydraulic control unit. But, he said it'll take...
I recently purchased a used 2005 Escape Hybrid and it doesn't have an owner's manual. Just browsed the files here and I saw there is a US version of the manual...
