For the second time in 2 years, our 2006 FEH failed to start after driving for 15-20 min. First time, we were in some fairly hot weather (100 deg), so I...
Hi, Are you saying that the ICE would not turn over at all, or that the ICE would turn over and not start? IE is the controller saying "I won't allow the ICE...
Dear Dave, Is there a chance the rear battery air conditioning unit is not working properly? I don't have a wiring diagram but if there is a thermister ...
Reg, That's exactly what I was thinking- the heat. Also, someone at the Ford dealer did mention that there may be a sensor in the HV battery that was...
Hi Steve, The ICE would turn over for about a second and not start, while I had the key in the start position. After a second, it quits and the message...
Dear Dave, My suggestion about heat comes about because of our experience with my wife's 2001 Toyota Prius. We had similar kinds of heat related issues this...
... Yeah, that would be a problem -- the vent to the battery in the Classic Prius is right there on the rear deck (looks like a speaker grille, but isn't!). If...
Thanks everyone for your help- given the conditions that we were driving in and the fact that the failures were two years apart, it seems that the battery...
My 2008 with 26,000 miles had been in the garage for a couple of days when I tried to start it yesterday. The ICE wouldn't turn over although the other...
Kim, According to the owners manual, the low drive does nothing except to use the engine for braking. It is not a normal transmission that has gears. It is...
Actually, the owner's manual doesn't detail everything that happens when you select "Low" with the transmission switch/lever. In low gear, when you ease off...
The 4x4 version gets noticeably worse mileage than the 2 wheel drive version (more weight and drag). Gasoline in part of the country (esp in summer) has...
We just returned today from Maine. We had left the '08 MMH at home this trip. I had not bothered to disconnect the HV battery and was surprised to find that...
Thanks for the feedback. My 2005 is now 3.5 years old, and after 4 weeks of sitting, my 12v battery gets low, but never my high voltage one. -John ... ...
An update on my FEH trailer adventures -- The Uhaul hitch is very good quality, install was exactly like the video with one minor problem. The width from side...
I thought some of you may be interested in my experiences after purchasing my 2005 FEH earlier this year. While many things were new to me, I'm sure that the...
There is plenty of POWER in reverse. You have a 94 horsepower motor for reverse. What occurs is, if you try to move in reverse ( or forward ) and the...

Thanks for the hitch update. I was wondering what's the brand name of the hitch you bought from U Haul? What's do you tow? How heavy? What speed and type of...
Rondald/notsohappycompguy, Hate to ask, but have you confirmed that the battery is cool, or are you just assuming it is because the A/C line is cold and...
The hitch was Uhaul branded, part # 78278. The hitch has no other identifying markers that I can see, but it looks identical to this etrailer FEH hitch: ...
Hey Guys, Im New to the Group, I just purchased a 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid in May, so i've had it for about 5 months, And wanted to join a group where maybe i...
My '05 4WD FEH passed inspection. The front tires are "down to 3/32nds you should probably replace them before snow flies". Yeah.. I had it inspected at a tire...
Sue -- I replaced my 2005's at just over 51,000 miles for the same reasons your tire store is saying -- for me it was my local Ford dealer saying it, that's...
In 2 weeks I'm going to attempt to tow an 8x12' trailer @ 2000 pounds. I will take it easy and monitor everything with a scangauge. Wish me luck. I'll report...
Welcome! If you don't have one, get an engine block heater installed. This also comes with a connection for the internal battery warmer. Use this 4 hours...
I'm in the same boat. My originals are at 65,000 miles. I heard of ONE person keeping them on to 90,000! Must really depend on the roads you drive... and...
