... I've opted out too but it looks like some jackarse from cleantech.org joined the group just to harvest e-mail addresses. There's really no way to stop...
When it comes to small SUVs, the Ford Escape is a clear leader in a crowded segment. Literally. Since its introduction in 2001, the Escape is serving a niche...
... Dear Sir, I have a navigation box and one of the three cables (new) you need to add navigation system to a 2006. I bought my FEH to convert to a plug in...
Dear FEH lovers, With winter coming up and with the prospect of having to deal with badly trained FEH mechanics, I would like to obtain whatever helpful...

Hi folks, I'm considering buying the subject vehicle, but haven't been able to find its braking distance, 60 mph to 0. I read a review of a 2008 FE that dissed...
Reviewers likely don't understand the differences between a hybrid and a sportier style of driving. Most of the time the stopping is done with the battery...
Dear Patrick, I can't speak for the 2009 but the brakes on my 2006 escape hybrid work great. Maybe the guy doing the test had lousy reaction times. There...
... How so? "Regenerative braking" is done in the drivetrain, not at the brakes themselves. While the physics of braking are different between the cars up to a...
Look at a hybrid and a conventional model in a parking lot. The hybrid has some really big brake rotors inside the wheels. My assumption was always that they...
I haven't see any data, but the 2009 hybrid has got to be WORSE. Up to and including 2008, the hybrids came with disc brakes on all four wheels. That's...
My recent driving experience with the 2009 FEH is the braking response is excellent. I had a "panic" stop with a dog running in front of me on a curvy country...
If you are impressed with drum brakes, wait to you check out stopping ability, stability and control with disc brakes. There are vehicles far, far lighter than...
I believe the error was in the TBCM because the "wrench" light never came on and the tech did not initially read any errors until he checked the battery pack...
Thanks for the info. I am in a hold and wait (nongreen waste gas) mode until I have cash to spare for the next poorly trained FEH specialist to take a look at...
I am considering a ford escape hybrid and conerned that the MPG that is being posted by Ford is not reality. What are others getting for real MPG on this...
Dear Ronald, There is a heat temp gun which can identify temp differences from a distance with good digital readouts. I know it exists just don't know where...

In my four-wheel drive / all-wheel drive 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid, I have averaged about 30 mpg in the 55,000 miles I've driven it. I get slightly higher in...
I'm still not sure if my 05 AWD FEH is performing properly. Something seems to have changed. I do a twice a week "commute" of sorts of about 35 miles each way....
I was able to get a tank average of consistently 33 - 35 MPG while driving around in Southern California. Driving to work 20-25 miles reduced it a bit with...
I usually get 32-33 mpg with my '05 AWD. I recently had to make 2 long trips to the Midwest from the D.C. area. Even with all of the freeway driving at the...
Where do you drive and how fast do you drive? If you are in California you will see lower milage durning the "summer ozone season" because the gasoline has...
... I'm still not sure if my 05 AWD FEH is performing properly. When I set out, all is fine. When stopping at a light, the engine shuts off. I can use EV mode...
