  1. Love it, adaptive cruise control is the best thing ever (well that and 49 miles to the gallon going to work). Also my wife just picked up a C-MAX SEL a few weeks ago. Driving it feels like the Escape but smaller. Why oh why did Ford not make an AWD of it or a Hybrid Escape is beyond me.
  2. I'd love to be able to remote start my car with my Cell phone. I think the only cars you can do that with is the Energi and the Focus Electric.
  3. The FFH forum is actually not part of this message board (links you to some other site). I'm still allow to pry around here.
  4. Thanks! so far I'm loving it. If Ford could make a few inside modification (not counting the hybrid stuff) the Escape could be almost perfect. I feel like in the Fusion everything is integrated well together (MyFord Touch and the driver console area) Also I enjoy having a space to put stuff behind the shifter (its the little things that make me happy, ha ha!
  5. So I ended up trading in my Escape today, was fun while it lasted but switched over to the Ford Fusion Hybrid Titanium. Just couldnt deal with filling up the gas tank every 3 days anymore. Anyways for folks wondering on what I got for the trade in. Ford offered, 24k, Car Max offered 25k and when all was said and done Ford ended up giving me $26,400 for the Escape (which is more then KBB list now) so I'm happy.
  6. I need to go to Carmax this weekend and see what they would offer, my local dealer usually matches that, but I was insulted the other day when they gave me an estimate over the phone of $20k for the Escape. I'm sorry, it didn't drop 15k in 1 year.
  7. So recently I've been thinking about maybe trading in my Escape and going back to a FFH. Anyone considered this and got some estimates on resale value? Looks like a fully loaded 2013 Titanium with 10500 miles has a KBB value of $27000.
  8. Wow, so I'm a few days away from owning my Escape for 1 year and I just noticed something today. For the first time ever I wanted to turn on the rear window defogger and noticed there is not a button on MyFord Touch for it. Then I finally noticed it on the bottom by the Passenger Airbag button. Its almost like it was an after thought they forgot about it on the main AC unit console and tossed it in on the bottom and never connected it to the MyFord Touch system.
  9. That looks just as bad as the early wear and tear on the trunk liner that ford says is normal...... I totally would complain though. My old 2010 Ford Fusuon Hybrid had really bad wear and tear on the leather early on. Ford was never willing to admit there was an issue though. Did you ask them to check the rough idle while you were there?
  10. So this is the first car I've ever had with a roof rack. Today I went over to Ikea and ended up buying a bookself. The box it came in measurd 80 inchs in length. I managed to get it in the SUV by basically laying it partly accross the front console arm rest in the middle. While pushing and pulling to get the box in the car I had a crossing thought of maybe I should use the roof rack. The problem was I had never used roof racks before and while they had free rope, I wasn't even sure how to tie it down. Then I also seemed to remember someone mentioned if you had the panoramic sunroof the amount of weight the racks can hold drops significantly. The box for the bookself weighted 86Lbs. Anyways just interested in peoples experiencing using the racks and the weight limit. Thanks
  11. My Current phone is an HTC One Running Android 4.1.2. You do need to turn Message Access on in the Advance Bluetooth features (prior to pairing though)
  12. So just a heads up, after updating to 3.6 I'm able to use the voice commands for sending text messages (not getting unsupported device anymore) so was definitely an issue with how Ford implemented MAP in the previous version.
  13. You need to take your car in to Ted Britt and let them look at it. Who is your service advisor over there? I would ask to talk to Gary Funk (who just got promoted to the service manager) I talked to him about it the other day, I think the more people that mention it to him the better.
