Re: 2009 FEHL Nav system/status bars

I took the car in today for the Sync 2.0 update and also asked them to take care of the status bar issue -- referring to the TSB #. They hoped the Sync 2.0 update would just fix the issue -- but it...

Has anyone played with this:

Re: Differences in years of FEH

I stand corrected.

I'm always _extremely_ careful with my words. I am annoyed by people who exaggerate or who jump to conclusions and then state their conclusion as a fact when they really have...

Re: Differences in years of FEH

It's never a good idea to assert that something is a fact unless you are certain that it really is a fact.

In the 05 I can absolutely assure you there was no ABS, nor anything that could even...

Re: Rented an Escape

The Prius has lots of storage with a lower & upper glove box, center console, and a drawer that slides out forward (down on the floor below the drink holders in the center console). The Escape...

Re: Differences in years of FEH

You've got that backwards. The 2009 _does_ have ABS (real wheels are drums -- not disc, but it does have ABS). I think 09 was the first year to have them (maybe they were there in 08 but I didn't...

Re: So what is my FEH worth Private Party Sale?

Yes - last year when the prices were very high the value of the hybrids was inflated. When I was selling my '05 I watched the price climb into the low $20k's (wish I would have sold it then but my...

Re: how many miles people getting out of Escape

And if you have ANY doubts as to how comforting it is to know this, you really *should* go visit New York and take a ride in a Taxi. If you've never ridden in a NYC taxi, it's a bit of a...

Re: RDA Group Survey?

Now if only they collected "useful" data like "How tall are you?" As a tall person, there's a LOT that I may like or dislike about a car based purely on my height. This, to me, is substantially...

Re: Mileage declining - Why?

It's even worse than that. Gasoline is bought & sold as a commodity. There's no guarantee that the gas from the SAME station actually comes from a consistent refiner/brand from week to week. I...

Re: 2009 FEHL Nav system/status bars

Re: Just purchased a 2006 esape hybrid, some questions.

You can add an MP3 player jack -- either a basic audio jack or even a specific jack for an iPod, etc. that allows some remote control.

Check 'PIE' (Precision Interface Electronics). They make the...

Re: '09 Escape Kleenex Holder

Re: To AWD or not to AWD

For the moment, I still own two FEH's. An 05 with 4WD and a new 09 with FWD.

In the five winters that I've owned my 4WD 05 FEH (and I also own a Prius) there's been exactly one day when I...

Re: Any reason cannot remove rear seats?

No need to unbolt -- there's a pin that slides out. The rear seat-bottoms are designed to be removable without the need of any tools at all.

Re: Observations/Questions from driving an ’09 FEH for two days

Like Gary, I also own an 05 FEH and an 09 FEH (although the 05 is 4WD and the 09 is FWD). I also own an 06 Prius.

I should say right out that different people will have a different definition of...

It is the "service" disconnect switch. A consumer would ordinarily never need to touch this, but there is a circumstance in which you should know about it and what it does.
