Replying to: jdixson (Dec 28, 2007 10:25 am) These are not carpeted but work great if you are interested. They have raised sides on them so nothing runs off them. Custom fit and built to last, well worth the price. I don't see the Mariner listed but I am sure the Escape are an exact match.   http://www.weathertech.com/store/mvproduct.aspx?ItemGroupId=52&VehId=219&Year=20- 08 Replies to this message: johndix60 (Dec 30, 2007 7:30 pm)

Replying to: dave_f_n (Jul 09, 2007 2:05 pm) Dave,   Whatever happened about your whistling Escape hybrid? I have the exact same problem and got exactly the same thing from Ford zone: the car is working as intended; there's nothing we need to fix.   Thanks Anne

Replying to: anne_d_h (Jan 10, 2008 5:02 pm) In the Escape Hybrid Quick reference guide that you should have received with the owners manual it says on the 2nd page under engine "You may also hear a slight whine or whistle when operating your vehicle." " This is the normal operation of the electric generator in the hybrid system." Are you sure it is not this noise?

Replying to: villagracia (Sep 14, 2007 12:34 pm) This is actually what I wanted to know, since even though the HV battery is warrantied for >100 kmiles, I haven't had a 12 V battery last more than 4 years, ever. I would expect it to fail first. Hopefully, the built-in test will sense this and give you a proper alert when it fails to hold a charge.   JRG Replies to this message: mschmal (Jan 22, 2008 3:00 pm)

Replying to: baysailor (Jan 20, 2008 8:16 pm) TO compare the the 12V car battery to the HV NiMH Hybrid System Battery is like comparing the Wright Flyer to an F16.   The HV battery is never deep discharged either.   Mark.
#1493 of 1583 Decrease in Gas Mileage by supercub43 Jan 28, 2008 (5:45 pm)
I have about 18,000 miles on my 07 Escape 2wd Hybrid that I purchased last April. During the summer thru early fall I was getting 36mpg......but since then the mileage has dropped off to 33mpg. I'm driving the same, driving the same routes to work etc.......the only thing that has changed is the weather......it's cooler now.......I live in central Ca.....has anyone else noticed a change possibly due to temperature change? Or is something else happening. Yes, I've check tire pressure. Thanks Brian
#1494 of 1583 Drop in gas milage by carysbluesky Jan 28, 2008 (8:23 pm)
This is normal for colder temps. The colder the air the more dense the air. The fuel control computer mixes air with gas at the same ratio. So, if it works properly, the increase in gas consumption should be considered normal. Ask any pilot who flies a normally asperated engine. Replies to this message: johndix60 (Jan 29, 2008 6:09 am)
