#1419 of 1583 Factory order time? by sksuh Jul 11, 2007 (12:22 pm)
How long does it take for a factory order?   My FEH was ordered on May 16 and now has an ETA of Aug 15 after at least one production delay.   Any other FEH users up here in southern Alberta?   Stephen

We signed the paperwork on May 8. It was ordered and it arrived on June 21. We took delivery on June 25. We are located in NW Jersey. Randolph, NJ Replies to this message: tuaarac1 (Jul 18, 2007 7:51 am) gheimur (Jul 18, 2007 12:58 pm) tuaarac1 (Jul 19, 2007 11:35 am)
#1421 of 1583 Air conditioner by tuaarac1 Jul 18, 2007 (7:51 am)
Replying to: gheimur (Jul 13, 2007 10:24 am) I live in the south, and every time my 08 Hybrid has been sitting in the sun for awhile and has really heated up, the AC does not work. It will not turn on, I literally cannot turn it on as the button does not respond as only the "ECON" button stays lit, and it blows hot air. this goes on for about 8-10 minutes and once the car cools down I can manually turn the AC on. I brought the car to the dealer and they ran all kinds of tests and said the car was fine. He says it is supposed to be like this. I have also had the AC just plain shut off on me as I am driving down the road...this is is manual mode, not in auto mode.   Anyone else have these issues?

Replying to: tuaarac1 (Jul 18, 2007 7:51 am) We only run our 08 with auto climate control in Auto mode and Econ mode. WHen the Gas engine shuts off the cold stops coming, the blower continues to blow. As soon as the gas engine starts it blows cold. We keep the temp on 68. If you want the A/c to blow all the time, take off the econ button. Replies to this message: tuaarac1 (Jul 19, 2007 11:35 am)

Replying to: gheimur (Jul 18, 2007 12:58 pm) I know that is the way it is supposed to work, but it does not work like that for me, at least not for the first 10 minutes if the car has gotten real hot. What happens is that the A/C button will not respond at all...the ECON button stays lit but I press and press and press the AC button and it refuses to turn on. The car just blows hot air for about 10 minutes, then it the AC button responds and everything works fine.

Replying to: docc (Apr 26, 2005 9:38 am) Hi people,   this may be the dumbest post of all but I thought i might as well ask. I don't much get the tongue weight etc yet- I was looking into towing more than 1000 lbs. Is it the car itself which in that case i wouldn't risk going over the limit, or simply getting an after market tow which will enable the weight to rise. If this is possible I would love to do it.   Help folks?   Thanks Cheers and peace.
#1425 of 1583 Towing by mschmal Aug 18, 2007 (5:54 am)
It is the car it self, not the hitch.   Towing really taxes the transmission. That is the most important component when it comes to towing. The eCVT is not rated to tow more than a 1000 and would rather not tow that.   Mark. Replies to this message: wisill (Mar 08, 2008 6:45 pm)

#1427 of 1583 4x4 question by hybridnewbie1 Aug 26, 2007 (5:03 pm)
Replying to: floyd2222 (Jul 10, 2007 12:48 pm) I just took delivery of our new Escape 4X4 Friday and I have question. Our Escape doesn't have a 4X4 emblem on the back. Is the standard for the hybrids? I really don't see a way to even know it is a 4X4 other than the sticker that came on the car says it is. Replies to this message: mecheng1 (Aug 27, 2007 5:32 am)
