Another voice to add in to the chorus: I have an '08 MMH 4WD purchased in early January '08, and it makes a terrible whine between 25-35 MPH and 60-70 MPH...
Are you in a cold climate. Here in PA my two MMH's have dropped to the 25/26 area for the winter. It's a combination of the 10% ethanol and cold temps with...
I'm in Marin County, CA - so pretty mild (tempuratures in the 50s-60s this time of year). And, we have to 2007 FEH 4WD to compare with - doing a consistent 1-2...
... climb any inclination at any speed in EV mode. Unless your battery has been supercharged, don't expect to climb inclines in EV. EV can't deliver the...
... Colorado used to use 10% ethanol in winter only to help with the "brown cloud" of Denver/Springs. It worked so well, that now Colorado uses 10% year round....
There turns out to be significant variability in gasoline mileage potential as well as "quality" (resistance to detonation, etc.), from tankfull-to-tankfull -...
"Road noise is considerable in the FEH due to poor insulation, and seems to be louder when the back seat is folded down. I have seen claims the the MMH is...
The rear defogger on my '05 FEH isn't working. Well actually, the top line works but nothing below it. I checked the connections and they appear to be good. ...
Get an ohmmeter and see where the line is open. NAPA has products that will bridge an open line and re-establish the defroster. A glass company could also...
My 2005 FEH is recently getting significantly worse fuel economy than in the past. I have 47,000 plus miles on the vehicle, this is my 4th winter, and I have...
If you have no codes showing on the system, then they will charge you for the work. Are you still on warranty? When my car had problems, performance dropped...

If your electronics coolant pump has not been changed, it could it. They are reported to go out at about 50,000 miles and cause the electronics to overheat. ...
Thanks Gary! I take it from your answer that there is no "overheat" lamp or warning that would signify that the electronics unit is overheating, is that right?...
I'm sure there is a point (temperature) that would flag a warning, but in most cases the electronics have limits that they just quit working/charging to...
Hmmm... So far, the car drives completely normally, with no discernable loss of power, and still runs on EV mode about the same as ever. ... but ... alarms. ...

No advice, Paul, but I'm having the same problem this winter, though not quite as severe. With 43,000 miles on my '05, I'm noticing a 1-2 mpg drop this year....
