#61 of 309 njbongo by jnmartin May 25, 2001 (6:02 am)
I haven't gotten my car back yet, but the tech I talked to said that the noise was a loose shock. I guess when I get it back I'll be able to tell you if the noise and the loss of traction are gone.   I hate my dealer and am asking around for a reliable one in the area to take care of my baby. There are 4 in the Syracuse area and I still have a couple to work with.   I'm leaving for vacation today, and expect to put close to 2000 miles on her round trip. That's if I get her back today, we're still waiting for a part. For my dealer's sake it had better be a smooth ride. I'm not in the mood for continued problems with them right now and the smile and compromising attitude is gone.

That's good news.....if the dealers telling ou the truth. A loose shock or strut would definetly cause that problem also. When I said wheel alignment, I asummed the idiots would have actually CHECKED for something so obvious by now. Stupid me !!!!!   It reallt S**CKS that the car is so good, and the dealers so bad. I'm still crossing my fingers...no problems at ALL yet, so I have no idea if my dealer's service dept is any good. We'll see...   Let us know what happens, and good luck !   V
#63 of 309 Replacement Floor Mats by jansa May 31, 2001 (10:14 am)
I’m new to the board and appreciate all the great info I’ve received here, and on the Hatchback board. Just took delivery of my Jackpot Gold ZX3 yesterday and am anxious to replace the floor mats (especially front). Thought maybe the Kona edition kind would work, if I could find them. Just called one (of many) local parts departments, and the fellow there couldn’t find them in his book. Would really appreciate some specific suggestions for floor mats. More interested in protection and durability than style. Thanks.

Hi! Congrats on your purchase. If you're looking for Kona mats, try asking the people on www.teamfocaljet.com. We have over 2000 members, so hopefully someone knows something. This is a great little place to talk, but when you need to speak to a broader audience, focaljet is the place. By the way, my name over there is focswagongrl. My boyfriend has a focus wagon. Great car! Later!
#65 of 309 Ok, I'm lost :( by axel1997 Jun 07, 2001 (11:27 am)
I'm sorry, I'm lost. Someone over at Escape-Central.com ( http://www.escape-central.com ) posted that there was a club over here at Edmunds for Ford Escape owners. I have never been here before but I cannot find it. I searched under Ford Clubs and all that I found was these Ford Focus clubs. Sorry to post here, but I'm hoping someone here more familiar with Edmunds can help me? Is there any Escape club here at Edmunds? Help. Thanks. Axel

At the present time, there isn't a specific Ford Escape club available. BUT, that can be easily remedied. I'll do a bit of investigating and see if there are any Escape owners interested in getting one going.   KarenS Host Owner's Clubs
#67 of 309 16 inch Tire Pressure by iltr Aug 03, 2001 (12:51 pm)
We just bought my wife a yellow 2001 ZX3 with the 16 inch wheel package and 50 series tires. I looked in the owners manual for the correct tire pressure and it states to look on the drivers door. Not there. What is the correct factory recommended pressure? Right now it has 30 PSI.
#68 of 309 iltr by njbongo Aug 13, 2001 (12:09 pm)
It's in the passenger door....I think it's 34PSI...double check your door panel

What is the purpose for it and there is no plug present and does there need to be.Any info is appreciated. thanks
#70 of 309 scratched/chipped paint by kebbat Aug 29, 2001 (3:50 am)
this is truly unbelievable to me .... my car was hit a few weeks ago (someone backed into my PARKED car .... I wasn't even in it)so I brought it to my local Ford collision center to have it repaired. Got stuck driving a rental for over a week and finally got the word yesterday that my car was ready.   Picked it up at lunchtime .... looks good. Go back to work.   After work drive to the store for a quick second and then head home.   As I walked by the rear bumper I noticed what first looked like caked on mud .... funny, it hadn't rained .... upon closer examination I have found that SOMEONE ELSE HIT MY CAR!!!!!   I don't know when, it either had to be at work or during the 5 minutes I was in the grocery store. Either way .... my right rear bumper has several, make the MANY, scrapes that go deeper than just the paint. Some are down to whatever that metallic looking surface is under the paint. They aren't exactly gouges, but they are more than just surface scratches. They aren't the largest scratches ever, but I will absolutely notice them ever single time I walk by so I want to fix them.   Ford sent me a bottle of touch-up paint a few weeks after I bought my car .... I'm nervous about trying to use this though .... any ideas or suggestions?
