I have always wondered what the economy of a similar sized/shape vehicle as the Prius with Ford's Hybrid technology would be. My 05 AWD FEH drops a few mpg in...

The only messages regarding 4x4 are error messages. This is a case of no news is good news. The 4x4 was designed to be "invisible" to the driver. -John ... the...
Your first step is to rule out the cell phone charger. #1 replace the fues in question #2 plug in something else that takes about 100 watts. Such as a SINGLE...
Cold weather lowers your tire air pressure, and more than you think. CHECK YOUR TIRES! Last month.. ( well, in October ) I had my FEH rear tires at 41 psi and ...
The latter. It only puts power to the rear wheels when it's needed. And then, only for as long as it's needed. That could be less than a second. Doubtful...
I've looked in old posts but can't seem to find any that describe the same problem I'm randomly experiencing. It started about a week ago and has happened 4...
Aloha, My '07 FEH with 22470miles popped up with a "Service Soon" warning today. During the System Check, it reappears just after the Oil Check in the...

Have your 12v battery checked. Car shops such as Pep Boys have equipment which can test the CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) the battery can produce. The cost of the...
About 3 weeks ago I was driving my wifes '08 FEH (22K miles)when I noticed the "Wrench" symbol on the dash came on. When I turned the engine off and restarted...
We've also had the "phantom wrench" syndrome on my wife's `08 MMH - (barely 11,000 miles); it comes on very occasionally - usually a minute or so after...
Seems exactly like what happened to my '08 FEH at about 28K miles. The "blend door" actuator needed to be replaced. It was a quick and easy fix and one that...
And how much does it cost to replace it?Is it a battery pack consisting of more than one battery,or a single unit? How much power is it capable of? ...

I live in a very cold climate and I have had a winter front on order from a local Ford Dealer for over a month. Anyone have any luck getting one from their...
I had the same thing happen on my 2006 FEH. Only lasted for a few seconds and I didn't notice anything else different related to the message. It did happen...
During the 2nd week of November I did some camping in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and needed to use the 110v outlet. Well, needless to say I used it a little...

Earlier I posted about the fuel gauge in my '05 FEH not reading clear full. Thanks for the tips about how to access it and what to do. Fortunately it appears...
update on the issue (and a little bit of a rant)... The night before planning on driving it to the dealer, it would not start at all. The same 'check brake...
Some of you will remember my frantic postings in September and October concerning my 2005 FEH , (47,000 miles now) and its lost EV mode after system warmup. ...
Glad you finally located a competent repair shop! ... I'd think the $150 for the manuals and the $160 for the scan gauge are good capital expenses. They still...
