Re: Couldn't turn key to start 2009 FEH

As was stated, this is true for all Fords.

This is my third Ford and I've driven others - all have had this occur. I've also helped people who had this problem too.

Once in a while, it...

Re: Any '08 owners that were '05 or '06 owners?

I can give you a "sort of" comparison too.

I purposely did NOT buy an '05-'07 model because of some of the reasons you like! LOL!

That is, I found the parking brake to take up way too much...

Re: Get it tomorrow.

Congratulations! :shade:

I haven't posted here much lately, but I have been enjoying my FEH for two years now! I have an '08 FEH (obtained in Nov. of '07) and have loved every minute of it. I...

Re: To AWD or not to AWD

I agree with all of the above.

I have a AWD 2008 Escape. I live near San Fran., so for most of my driving, I do not have the AWD engaged. However, I own property in MA and hope to return there....

Re: steering wheel audio controls now included

Could you double check this and see if this option is JUST for the normal Mariner? I ask because in the brochure for the Escape, a series of features are offered, but in the fine print at the...

Re: What should I be paying for a new 08 FEH?

I found the exact FEH I wanted on the lot at my local Ford dealership. As a result of buying from the lot, I was able to get a very good deal. So I agree with Jon (Audiofn). Had I ordered this...

Re: remote starter for 08 FEH?

Congrats on your new FEH!

I live in CA now, but drove my '08 FEH from the Bay area of CA to Chicago and back (yes, long ride). This was through snow and frigid cold. Never once did I have a...

Some of the features mentioned in the article may not be available for the hybrid. For example, auto-start and DVD-players in the headrests are two items that can be installed in the gas-Escape or...

Re: Plug in Hybrid Escape for sale?

While I agree that an all EV vehicle may be off in the future, a EV/hybrid should not.

And while an EV/hybrid might not the huge horsepower loved by som, the fact is, people at one time DID...

Re: I give up -- and here's the result

Actually, it's because of this forum that I didn't really worry too much about my MPG's economy, despite what I wrote. It's also for this reason that I took my FEH on that long drive so that I could...

Re: I give up -- and here's the result

I hear you there! I wasn't quite the hyper-miler yet, still learning how I could get better miles. However, I was often disappointed to see low numbers.

Then I decided not to watch. I recently...

Re: steering wheel audio controls now included

I played with my Sirius a lot while on a VERY long drive during the holidays. I had no "saving" feature (and I looked everywhere for it). I can only assume I have the "older" software. Then again,...

Re: steering wheel audio controls now included

I bought my '08 FEH on Nov. 10th. I did research for a long time and during that entire time, the steering wheel controls were not an option. As my dealer had the very FEH I would have ordered, I...

Re: Plug in Hybrid Escape for sale?

Your points are good John (and by the way, great name!), but this is why I like the fact that it's not pure electric. The hybrid option allows for still very strong miles and clean burning feul on...

Re: New FWD FEH on Ebay

I just bought my 4WD FEH in November, yet it didn't have the radio steering wheel controls. Is this something Ford just figured out how to do? And if so, when was it added? Does the 4WD interfere...

Re: Plug in Hybrid Escape for sale?

Part of me is glad that the plug-in is not yet available. I just bought my FEH and I'd hate knowing that if I waited, oh, 6 more months that the plug-in would have been ready. LOL!

Re: Does 2008 MMH have Sync?

You're right - and that's part of the problem. Some car companies can get away with it. Want the upgrade? Buy a new car!

But considering how American car companies are struggling, maybe it's...

Re: Does 2008 MMH have Sync?

Based on the commercials, I agree, Sync looks great!

But if Ford really cared for their customers, they'd make this option not only an upgrade on new '09 models, but make it something other users...

Re: 2008 Rear Mud flaps / Splash guards

I just bought some splash guards (or mud flaps) for my new '08 FEH and they do hang down. One set is for all 4 wheels. After a recent rain here, I noticed my vehicle was all dirty from splashes. ...

Re: MMH has higher ground clearance than MM

I'm confused by this statement. I have running boards on my '08 FEH. Do you mean in that link the running boards made a difference?

Re: Does 2008 MMH have Sync?

I think Ford's "Sync" program is pretty new, so it will start appearing on more vehicles as '08 and '09 progress. However, the hybrids may be one of the last. I say this because it appears that...

Re: Interior color of Ice Blue MMH?

FEH is the same abbreviation pattern as the MMH. ;) That is, Ford Escape Hybrid.

As you are getting the Mariner Hybrid, I thought that maybe there's a chance the colors are different. ...
