ursacat-
I am actually pretty calm about this now. This was a 4 week saga of going back and for with the dealership and Cust Relations. But it is pretty much over now. I got the final rejection from the Service Manager last week. I did jump through all of their hoops and it really didnt get me anywhere. Supposedly the Service Mgr even called the Regional Zone Rep.
 
You are right that it is ultimately my fault as I noted in first post. As I also noted, I was at least hoping that they would cut me a break but they did not offer anything of the sort. I am mostly disappointed in the "pass the buck" attitude of the dealership.
 
Dont get me wrong though... I still love my 2009 FEHL

Send me your e-mail, contact info. I will put you in contact with my dealership here in No. Ca. Perhaps they can offer some advice.

I think I was one of the first to receive my FEHL in July. So far, I have over 3000 miles on it and have averaged 33.2 miles per gallon on my last 3 tanks. I live in the mountains so it's a little hard to keep it in EV mode when going uphill. So far, it has been awesome! No problems at all.

2009 Escape Hybrid Order Delays by dukeguy1

I ordered an 09 Escape Hybrid on May 14, 2008. I was told that since the dealership where I ordered my escape hybrid was one of the Southeast's largest volume sellers dealership, I should expect my escape hybrid in September. Well, September is here and no Escape... Long story short, after many conversations with my high volume dealer, I was told to expect my escape hybrid at the end of November 08... Days later, the sales manager told me that my order has been pushed back to January 09. Anyone else having this issue? Anyone else been given the run-around about delivery? The ford dealership is located in Raleigh NC... Any suggestions?

Sounds strange to me. I ordered my FEHL May 10th and it is finally being built this week (hopefully). Probably not shipped until the end of September arriving in later October. So, - that is a five month wait which is long enough. I have no idea what Fords ordering sequence is about - there seems to be no rhyme or reason. Definately not taking orders as they come in. Anyway - November to January 09 sounds crazy! Maybe that is an outside parameter - still strange.

If you had already damaged the sensors, then the code that Ford read would have been explained by the accident, so Ford would not know if the accident or malfunction caused the error code.
 
I have the reverse sensors on my 2008, and one thing you have to be careful of is things like poles and people - they don't always register. The OM has a note as to the fact that it has to be a large object in order for the sensors to detect it.
 
Still, if the pole went RIGHT INTO THE SENSOR, that seems a bit obvious.

Well! I received my Kiwi Green FEH Limited on 9/13/08. That's exactly 3 months from the date I ordered it with 1K down. I'm still in kindergarten when it comes to SYNC and NAV operations but am trying to learn a small thing or two each day. Only 170 miles into this vehicle but everything seems tight. It would appear that the final inspection process went well. Too early to report on mileage but I do like the "readings" it says I'm getting...
 
Little things: Wish the rear seats folded down flatter to create a more uniform cargo space. I'm personally annoyed with the rear backup sensor. I trust my eyes only and find this "aid" distracting. There had been mention that the "hidden" storage container between the driver/passenger could fit a laptop. If by laptop one means handheld PDA.....sure.
 
More later. As well as SYNC questions.

If you take off the headrests the seatbacks will fold flat and also you can release the seat bottoms and slip them out for an extra 6" or so of flat length. At least that's the way my '08 is. I have never tried to put a laptop in the console but assumed if you lifted out the entire plastic box there might be room. I like my backup sensors a lot and really miss them on my other car, so I guess it's just a personal preference.
I wish someone had a simple answer as to how '09 scheduling is done. I ordered an '09 in early August and my dealer says he doesn't expect it until Jan or later! I just can't seem to get a straight answer from anyone. I would guess it has something to do with allocations.

Additional Charge? by revmin
Sep 17, 2008 (5:03 pm)

Sometime back there was some discussion about an additional $1000 being added to the sticker price. If I recall right, this was applied to newer orders and not to orders made by a certain date. Does any one recall this? Most responses said that the dealer should honor the price agreed to and not the raised sticker price. Just wondering since I received my sticker from BlueOval.com and it is $1000 higher!
