Okay, I have a strange question...I just purchased a used 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid and at the time of purchase, the dealer promised to fix a few little things I noticed were wrong. One of these was replacing the bulb for the gearshift (which I noticed was not illuminated). Now, without looking at it, they are saying the console is not supposed to light up and is fine. Can someone please tell me if this is true? Does your gearshift (between the seats, not the indicator on the dash) light up so you can see what gear you are shifting into or are currently in? I feel like usually they do, but maybe this car is different...

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid. For the first 6,308 miles I averaged 36.1794 MPG. I did not have a tank of gas that dropped below 30.836. Then all of a suddent I have gotten several tanks of gas that have dropped to 25.697 / 26.705 / 26.916 MPG. I had the car into the Toyota dealer and they did an examination that appeared to show nothing wrong with the Camry. I have been watching to see if the gas station that I buy the gas at makes a difference and Murphy USA & Kroger appear to be lower then other stations. Can the place you buy the gas or the driver have anything to do with the low MPG per tank of gas?

It was a decent interview. It'd be of interest to those who are more interested in the business side aspect of the auto industry rather than any specifics about technology or any particular models.

It's on the front of Charlie Rose - Home right now. If not, you might be able to watch it online later if you search for the videos on that site. Of course, EVs and the Leaf came up.

For those unfamiliar with Ghosn, he turned Nissan around from near bankruptcy in 1999 into a company that was making record profits. There was a great article on him on detnews.com but it might gone now. http://www.titantalk.com/forums/niss...superstar.html has the text but some of the graphs aren't there. http://edition.cnn.com/2008/BUSINESS...le/#cnnSTCText has a bit more on him.

I was driving in my work parking lot yesterday after a freeway commute. I was in EV mode at about 15mph when my steering seemed to "lock". I gave it some extra force and it returned to normal. First time I've had this happen. Anyone else experience anything like this?

A sport utility vehicle (SUV) is a generic marketing term for a vehicle similar to a station wagon, but built on a light-truck chassis.[1] Usually equipped with four-wheel drive for on- or off-road ability, and with some pretension or ability to be used as an off-road vehicle, some SUVs include the towing capacity of a pickup truck with the passenger-carrying space of a minivan. Since SUVs are considered light trucks and often share the same platforms of pick-ups, they are regulated less strictly than passenger cars under the two laws in the United States, the Energy Policy and Conservation Act for fuel economy, and the Clean Air Act for emissions.

As journalism became a profession, women were restricted by custom and law from access to journalism occupations, and faced significant discrimination within the profession. Nevertheless, women operated as newspaper owners, editors, and journalists throughout the history of journalism.Beginning in the late nineteenth century, women began agitating for the right to work as professional journalists in North America and Europe; Nellie Bly was the most famous of these turn-of-the-century reporters.Women increased their presence in professional journalism, and popular representations of the "intrepid girl reporter" became popular in 20th century films and literature, perhaps most famously in "His Girl Friday".

Hello everyone
I have a new 2010 FEH and a scangaugeII .One thing is bothering me:
When I am stopped at a light or a stop the scangauge or the instant economy is at 9999 or HIGH .As soon as the car start moving it goes down to 0.0 or LOW. Same coming to a stop it shows 0 until the car comes to a stop then it goes up to 9999.
.
Is there something I am missing in the set up?
:confused:

Well...

If you just want to use the stereo system and the steering wheel controls, they go to gether like "peanut butter & Jelly".

Every CABLE connected just fine, except ONE... there is a cable, the 2nd from the left if you are looking at the rear of the unit (2010 JBL\Fujitsu-ten). I am wondering if this is a cable that splits to provide power and noise cancellation to both the Factory Microphone within the Ceiling console that controls the lights and sunroofs on some cars, and the auxilliary input, or if it controls the entire BT. All ofthe steering wheel controls work just fine. the display is slightly different. But I had a "Crash and Burn" kind of moment when trying to get the BT to sync... Remember, 2010 models have upgraded BT (2.0 or 2.1) that has the AD2P audio profiles to allow you to stream your audio from you Bluetooth enabled cell phone to your stereo system. In order to sync the phone, you need to give it a name, via the MIC... well since the MIC's are incompatible or rather it just doesn't work, I couldn't get past that first part.

I drive 2 hours EVERY day, so I desperately wanted an upgrade, because I talk a lot on the phone, and I have Slackr and Pandora on my blackberry and thus wanted to listen to the tunes without having to hastle with a cable.

For now, I have placed my old stereo system back in the deck... (it was very easy to take out) and am trying to acquire an OEM factory Handsfree MIC. I can't seem to find anyone online, and most of the parts distributers only have 2009 Camry parts... which is vastly different (2009 Camry uses the same stereo system as our 2007's).

If anyone has any suggestions, I am certainly open to them.

Just curious who is using Mobil 0-W20 in the forum? I saw they have it at Walmart for the 5QT for $22 right now and am looking to switch my 08 Escape Hybrid to Full Synthetic.

Good day all!

My Mother in law's escape is in bad need of new rotors and brakes, and i'm having a terrible time finding any kind of service manual. I'm pretty familiar with other fords; f250s, aerostars, etc...

Is there anything i should know about the escape before i attempt to change her rotors? I've heard rumors about having to pull fuses and the like in some hybrids before servicing brakes. So anything special i should know, Or is the brake system not so different from other fords?

I'm a student working on a design for retractable insulation for a catalytic converter. This design will primarily be marketed towards hybrid vehicles, since temperatures in the catalytic converter can drop below where the converter is effective when the ICE isn't running. It would be helpful to me as I narrow down my designs if you would take a brief survey that focuses mainly on what costs the average hybrid owner is willing to pay if it meant dramatically reducing emissions. It will only take about 60 seconds, I promise. The survey can be found here: <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=diLyKxBnYbZ4bGE1inlodQ_3d_3d">Click Here to take survey</a>
