You two covered two of my minor complaints about the FEH. I would trade the charge/assist gauge for a temp gauge any day. Any why can't the speed control be a light on the dash like every other car?

One of my bigget complaints about the Escape itself is the stupid power window lockout switch. Why does the swith lock out the driver to when the driver can control the lockout swith? Every other car the driver has the ability to override the lockout instead of having to turn off the override....Being picky, I know.

The '06 FINALLY has auto door locks so I can quit griping about that.....

Oh yeah, and give me a pushbutton that I can manually turn the a/c on and off when I want and allow ME to control where the cold air goes.

And I am really P.O.'d that my '05 has virtually no anti-theft system.

Other than that, great vehicles.
