I wonder if all the accelerator systems are really created the same. Mine is extremely sensitive, just minor bumps (let alone pot holes) will cause mine to...
All very true. Perhaps if drivers of non-hybrids were wearing out these components, the manufacturers would compensate? Like looking at what might be, rather...
I'm thinking along the lines of the weight of a big chunk of glass, the track and motor drive assembly and the rather heavy gage wire to operate (think power...
Long ago and far, far away... People could purchase actual volumes of books with parts and service information on their vehicle. I assume those are now on CD? ...
The super sensitive pedal was a major concern that was addressed by Ford. The pedal is less sensitive ( ie. it takes more movement to initiate acceleration )...
I have the Sonic Blue with the Silver appearance package. ( I have had so many compliments on the color, I'm amazed that only 3% of the FEH's are Sonic Blue). ...
I noticed an old Yahoo group called 'Honda Hybrids In the News'. I thought about creating a new group with summaries of news articles about Ford Escape...
Just got back from a Colorado Ski trip. Snow was good. Weather was terrible. -2'F was the outside temp for 2 days with wind chill of -40'F the first day, and...
Hey guys, need a little meeting of the minds here. I am looking into putting a block heater in on my FEH. I live in CT, and my baby is not in a garage...so I...
I have black molding and when waxing the paint I inadvertently get a little wax on the black molding which then later appears whitish. Anyone have positive...
Remember with fuel injection throttle is not linked to fuel. All we are controlling is air...and opening the thottle reduces pumping losses. It's very hard to...
... John, I've had luck with "Oil Eater" cleaner/degreaser. Removes the dried wax from molded plastic parts with ease. I found this product at Costco. If you...
Suggestion? Assure yourself of the acceptability of the dealers return policy. If so, buy one and look at it. FWIW there is a fleet of FEHs in taxicab service...
Hey Gary. Been reading your posts on all the various sites for a while now and your stories and insight instill hope in me. I purchased an '05 4WD FEV about a...
I'd heard rumors to this effect even last year: if you got into a position where there was much resistance trying to back up, the "fly-by-wire" system in the...
Were the tires spinning or would it just not go. The signs do say you must have chains, I read them as I drove on by in my California Escort rental with the...
Ray, thanks for your reply and it does appear you have been reading my post. As I've explained, I got 40mpg at fill ups from the day I got my FEH in Feb. this...
... You have an exceptional route. You use exceptional technique. These two factors enable you to get exceptional numbers. Thus you set a very high mark for...
#1 Checked with Ford parts guy this morning. The part number for the '06 throttle pedal assembly is the same as the '05. I'm assuming that any drivability...
... It just would not go. If they'd have spun, it would have dug itself out ... They probably did before; last night they said "carry chains or traction ...
Did you press the pedal all the way to the floor? The thing with the FEH is that there is no reverse gear (no actual gear in the transmission), it's purely...
I've been able to drive myself out of few-day-old crusty 2-3' snow with the FEH, as well as lots of deep soft sand. I've been quite impressed with its AWD...
