Replying to: revmin (Aug 21, 2008 4:25 pm) To date this is my progress: Receipt Date: 5/9/2008 Serialize Date: 7/18/2008 Segment Date: 7/18/2008 Sequence Date: 7/22/2008 Blend Date: 8/11/2008 Produced Date: 8/20/2008 Gate Release Date: 8/22/2008 Ship Date: 8/22/2008 Arrival Date: Sold Date: Last report from my dealer is that it is still sitting in the KC railyard - and the FORD phone system reports the arrival is now 9/11 (  )...However, I think this was just FORD hedging their timeline and not over promising delivery the week of September 1st because production was delayed three days - hopefully I'll see the thing next week sometime!

Replying to: munknasty (Aug 28, 2008 12:06 pm) Couple of note: I am averaging about 31 around town. Not bad. I have pushed the limits of MS Sync (Sync my ride) and have found some minor bugs that I've been discussing with Ford. Basically, sometimes my iPod (Touch) does re-initialize properly after a phone call is ended (Blackberry 8800) so I have to resync from the Menu/USB/Sync. Not a big deal but I spoke with Ford Sync Specialist and they have alrady released a minor upgrade that we can all download via our laptop w/ the USB port. I'm holding off for another few months until v 1.1 is released.... I think it's way cool to be able to update the software/firmware myself. But I'm a Engineer....! Regards,

| I've looked on this site a number of times to get some clue about how the orders get processed. It's been illuminating. I ordered mine blind (from overseas) on 6/13 from Willey Ford (Bountiful, UT) via the Internet. I've never even test driven a standard Escape! Received VIN and order # on 8/15 with an anticpated delivery of 9/15 -9/22. So 3 months if things work to plan. My vehicle package includes the NAV system. Never had that so I'm excited. Keep posting your gas mileage info and other impressions...they do help me and others. I'll do the same when I take delivery. Ciao! | |

Received my 2009 Escape Hybrid about 8 weeks ago, now have less than 2000miles on the vehicle. This is my first American vehicle in 20 years. The check engine light came on and I called the service department at my dealership. Spoke with a service intake person that was not helpful, was transferred to the Service Manager who told me to take the gas cap off and put it back on. I reminded him that there is no gas cap on these vehicles (he was an idiot). He offered to provide me with a rental car when I brought the car in to check out why the check engine light came on - however it was my responsibilty to pay for insurance, gas and taxes on the rental. (Only a few bucks - but it is the principle)!!! I should pay nothing - right? Got into an argument with the service manager. Contacted the awesome salesperson that sold me the car and they are taking care of me on Saturday - they will provide a loaner vehicle at no charge to me. The Sales Dept is covering this - not Service! Great for this service time - but I am very, very concerned what I have gotten myself into. The service peeps were a-holes!!!!! They were ignorant, condescending and non-accomendating. I did not pay 37K for a vehicle to be treated like crap for a problem that arose well before any scheduled service. Oh - my dealership provides no appointments on Saturdays -- I still need to work for a living and do the 7:30am to 6:00pm thing Monday thru Friday! I am concerned I made a mistake purchasing this vehicle. Comments - Anyone?
