Well I now have a rental car (Ford Edge) provided by the dealer. The tech removed an anti-slip fabric I had placed over the battery compartment (he claimed it...
Jenna- You are absolutly 100% correct in the fact that nothing you placed on top of the battery would make it "overheat". It's true there are no stupid...
In the 2005 to 2008 models, you cannot ( not supposed to be able ) exceed 40 MPH in EV mode. However, the "needle" on your speedometer is about 2 MPH wide,...
John, regarding the air door on the battery compartment: does the outside ambient temperature have anything to do with whether the door remains open or closes?...
I'll second the motion - would love to replace the 2006 nav system.. meanwhile, try the vechicle position calibration in the system menu - might help with the...
Hate to rain on anyone's parade, but I fear that the systems wouldn't be interchangeable for dimensional reasons; my wife has a friend who bought an `07...
I installed the Motorola IHF1000 in our '06 MMH. Actually, I had it professionally installed. They had a wiring harness kit that allowed it to be hooked up...
Supposedly my FEH is now repaired; the service advisor called to say that they had reprogrammed the PCM. When I questioned that, she quoted from a Tech...
Well, it has finally happened to me! My Motor and Electrical Component coolant Pump has failed on my 2005 Ford at 53,000 miles. Thanks to this group I knew...
There is a documented problem with the M/E water pump in the 2005's especially. Ford knows about it, if you talk to the right persons... or if the service...
A little off-topic, but as I am preparing my '07 FEH for a family road trip today, I thought of this: When President Truman retired from office in 1952, his...
John, Do you have any more specifics as to the documentation about the pump. No, I did not get the extended warranty. When I looked at the Warranty, I felt ...
Ford does something about it... They sell parts and support their dealers who install them. Not as much as we'd like. But then we understand that cars are...

I just tried pulling my 17' fiberglass boat in the past couple of weeks. At about 1750 lbs, it is heavier than the rated 1000 lbs limit. But like you, I was...
