In discussing this event with others, it was pointed out to me that drivers are trained to NOT reach for the switch in a runaway event. The reason is that it...
I didn't see you getting an answer, so, no - the "parking brake" in the `08 and later models is operated by a pedal to apply the brake, and a T-shaped...
I have to agree with you, because this happen to me once. I got into the car to just move it in the driveway. Being a bit lazy, I didn't sit fully into the...
Actually if you read my entire post you would have seen that I addressed the Toyota case with the CHP officer. I do not think we know that he was fit - that is...
I have to agree with TwoDogs. My wife was sitting in our Grand Cherokee, engine idling. I was behind the car doing something. Suddenly I heard the engine roar,...
We don't know all the facts about this report (it seemed to me that the retired-cop husband was talking his wife through the event while she was on a...
The Brakes will always overpower the gas - even if the assist is not functioning. At highway speed it may take a really long time (too long to be safe). It did...
... Have you ever known a police officer to do that? ... Because talking to th' missus is easier than grabbing that brake handle located between the seats? ...
Think they might have jammed something when they sprinted away from the Portsmouth toll booths heading North? Stranger things have happened, I suppose.. -Sue...
Sounds concerning and at the same time a questionable report. The cruise control & throttle systems never "override" the brake system. In fact, tapping the...
Gear ratio MAY have changed. Maybe not. If so, probably only slightly. What's the point you wish to get across? My 2005 can go at least 105 MPH. Engine...
A few notes after 1,500 miles on the 10' FEH: * Cold weather performance is reduced, shorter EV and a bit more ICE on, but nothing like my 07 runaway RPM's. *...
Actually this incident sounds more the classic brake failures in the Ford Escape Hybrid series. What he doesn't say in the abstract is "what codes were or...
Wow, pretty interesting. Though, I have to mention that this retired police officer seems to have successfully kept his cool, and was able to calmly take all...
I subscribe to a monitoring service which looks for Consumer Complaints files with the NHTSA on the FEH & MMH twins(*), and just received the following -...
I agree with the other posts on the subject. My only additional comment would be to make sure the battery pack temps are staying within normal range. My...
There is a HUGE plastic splash guard that covers the entire engine compartment which greets you underneath. I have not attempted removal yet as I haven't...
I just purchased a 2010 FFH to compliment our 2006 FEH. Has anyone changed the oil on the FFH themselves? How does it compare with the FEH? I assume it is...
John, There are many things that will cause the ICE to turn on, not the least of which is when the temperature of the traction battery becomes high from use or...
Perfectly normal battery exersing it sounds to me. My 05 has done very smilar things since new with no ill effects. If I recall correctly it is a calibration...
I apologoze if this is redundant. I tried searching for this topic. My 2005 FEH typically has a Battery State of Charge (SoC) indicated between 40% and 60% (on...
Published Ford Diagnostics and Repair manuals print the expected RPM at various speeds. The Traction Motor is attached in a fixed ratio to the wheels and moves...
GPS Man, can you point to a site that would further explain how the ECVT operates or is your information coming from scan gauge or other sources? I am not...
My apologies for this. The Facebook web interface took off inviting everyone on my contacts list before I could stop it.] bb ... From: "Bill Bailey"...
