Replying to: mschmal (Feb 22, 2007 3:10 pm) It's a few months later, but I just went to the web site you mentioned and the Escape is NOT on the list of vehicles to get the program. Am I missing something?

Replying to: rambo5 (Apr 25, 2007 6:16 pm) I just bought an 08 escape, and went to the NHTSA website to check out the crash ratings. It's very strange. The 08 escapes made up to 6/6/07 have 3 stars, and the ones made after 6/6 have 4 for the driver instead of 3! It almost sounds like ford put something back into it that they had removed, because the weight also went up from the earlier date to the newer date. I can't get an answer from Ford. I was unlucky enough to buy one made before 6/6.
#46 of 150 Auto-dimming rearview mirror by ladyblue Aug 06, 2007 (2:14 pm)
Anyone have a clue how to turn off the autodimming feature on the interior rearview mirror? This thing is driving me nuts! It's constantly changing from bright and clear to so dark I can hardly make out the car behind me. It seems to be triggered by light and shadows, so on a sunny day (even a cloudy one) it darkens every time I pass under a tree or anything casting a shadow.   Is this something I have to have reprogrammed by the dealer, or is there a switch I just can't find?   Ladyblue Replies to this message: woogsie (Dec 19, 2007 3:32 pm) pbstlrs1 (Feb 12, 2008 5:36 pm)
#47 of 150 Sounds like your mirror is not working correctly by mschmal Aug 07, 2007 (12:41 pm)
there is no off switch any more. Call your dealer.   Mark Replies to this message: ladyblue (Aug 08, 2007 7:52 am)

Replying to: mschmal (Aug 07, 2007 12:41 pm) The dealer said there's not much they can do except replace the auto-dimming mirror with an old-fashioned one that has a flip lever on the bottom. I've decided to just leave it alone and see if I can get used to it.
#49 of 150 I feel cheated by jared_mc Aug 08, 2007 (12:26 pm)
OK I am a happy 2008 Ford Escape owner but in a way I feel cheated. I have always wanted to have bluetooth capability in my car but Ford never offered this ability. I have been a Ford person forever and have been waiting for years for this ability before I got a new car and now Im starting to regret it, shortly after I purchased my new Escape I learned that will be using this technology in all 2008 cars except the Escape. I was devastated that something I wanted for so long comes after I finally give in a purchase a car. I think I have been cheated and its not fair that all the other 2008 owners will have that option to get this technology while we as current 2008 owners will not I really dont think its fair. Does anybody else feel my pain.   Another problem that Im having and im curious to see if anybody else has. I have been having horrible traction when it is raining, here's an example. When the tires are wet from the road and Im sitting at a light and I hit the gas to go the tires will just spin and spin and finally get traction and start moving I was wondering if anybody else has this problem.

Replying to: jared_mc (Aug 08, 2007 12:26 pm) Yours must be front wheel drive. My 2007 four wheel drive has terrific traction. Never spins in the rain. What make of tires do you have?
