learner said... I own a 2008 2wd Escape Hybrid which I bought on Ebay from a Houston dealer new last year. Drove it home to Austin and have loved it every mile I drive. Getting 29+ with the A/C going during our 60+ days of 100 degree temps. Now it is cooling off I should be going back to 32+ as I did last winter. Now I am looking for a good plug in conversion kit. Any suggestions?
Anonymous said... I just bought a 2009 Escape HEV in August 2009 and am only getting about 20MPG. I always use the A/C and I notice that if I don't use it I get better mileage, but overall, about 20MPG. Dealer says wait a few weeks for break in. I think that is just a stall but I bought the car so I will have to live with it. Aside from the MPG, I love the car.
lilfergy said... A/C SMELLS MOLDY I HAVE A 2005 4WD ONLY 43,00 MILES. EVERY YEAR I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO FIND OUT WHY IT SMELLS. SOME TIMES IT SMELLS SO BAD I HAVE TO TURN THE OFF AND ROLL DOWN ALL THE WINDOWS. IT ONLY SMELLS IN HYBRID MODE. WHEN THE COMPRESSOR TUNS ON THE SMELL GOES AWAY. THE DEALER HAS DEODORIZED IT 4 TIMES THAT ONLY WORKS FOR A FEW DAYS, TOOK THE EVAPORTOR OUT AND CLEANED IT ONCE, REPLACER THE EVAPORATOR ONCE, AND UNPLUGED THE DRAIN HOSE 2 TIMES (SO THEY TELL ME),THE LAST TIME THEY TIPPED THE PAN TO GET IT TO DRAIN. IT GOES BACK TO THE DEALER NEXT WEEK AGAIN. YOU THINK BY NOW THEY WOULD HAVE FIGURED IT OUT. THEY ALSO TELL ME THAT FORD HAS NOT POSTED ANY KNOWN PROBLEMES LIKE THIS. IF ANY ONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM PLEASE LET ME KNOW. lilfergy@yahoo.com
stash said... I own a 2008 Escape Hybrid 4wd - I have driven it about 20k miles. When the temperature is above 40 deg, I get consistently 31-32 MPG in mostly around town driving (in hilly Pittsburgh). In the cold weather, mileage can drop 5-6 MPG. In all, it has been a great car - it is comfortable to drive and fun to show off. I do wish Ford would redesign the Escape chassis/suspension, which is a bit dated and leads to mediocre handling relative to the best-in-class non-hybrid competitors.
Anonymous said... I have a 2008 Escape Hybrid that has been nothing buy trouble. It does have a ton of miles for a 08 (73000)but still too many problems. It has been towed to the dealership 6 times in the last year. They finally think that they know what the problem is, they are changing the hybrid battery this time. I will never buy another car from Ford after the way they handled this one.

I own an '05 Escape Hybrid 4WD. I live in Boulder, CO, which is approximately 5340 ft. above sea level. At first I was getting around 26 mpg, but since making an effort to accelerate more slowly, coast more, drive the speed limit and use cruise control more often I average about 29.5 mpg. At lower elevations one should have little problem going about 400 miles on 12 gallons of fuel. This is a great vehicle, and I can't wait for the plug-in HEV's to start rolling out!


I bought my '07 Escape new last year and have noticed an unpleasant odor in the cabin when I get in it in the morning. As soon as I turn on the AC (which is usually right away since I live in Hawaii) it sends an extremely unpleasant "sour & musty" smell out of the vents. It dissipates after about 30 seconds but never fails to be there in the morning. I've had the dealer replace the AC evaporator and checked the filter for the battery compartment and they say everything is in working order-but it is still happening. Has anyone one else out there had an odor problem?


I have owned a Ford Escae Hybrid since 2004. The gas milage is good and the car runs well. The problem is Ford mage it. I had a Exploer before and every six months a switch on the transmission would go out and have to be replaced. With the Escape the car will shut it self down while you are driving. There was a recall a couple of years ago stating it was a sensor. I never had a probelm till recently. You are driving the freeway with your son and the car turns it self off. Ford no longer acknowledges this problem and the Ford techs have no idea how to fix it. Hybrids are great, but not the ford. I am going to buy a new car for my wife it will not be a Ford or any American enginered car.


Dear fellow hybrid owners,

 

At first I was disappointed that my 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid SUV purchased in May in Florida was getting only 23.5mpg.  I realized, however, that when the Fall came I did not use the A/C so much, and my economy is now pretty consistently to 30.8 mpg around town, etc.  So I am delighted.  On a 1250 mile trip in October to Charlotte, NC, and around town there and back I got up to 29 but mostly around 26 or so. 
 
I know not to trust the car-makers advertising 36 around town and 31 otherwise for the Ford Escape Hybrid.  They have been doing that ever since I bought my first new Ford in '53.  They can drive the test car on a track at reduced speeds that we could never repeat to get that mileage out on the highways.  I accept 30.8, since my car before it was getting 16.3 mpg (2001Chrysler Town and Country with a V6 in it.)

How you drive plays a VERY important role in your MPG. I have a 2wd Escape Hybrid and live at altitude near Denver. When I was "green" I got 34 MPG right from the drive home. Now, with practice and experience, I can get 45-54 MPG around town ( speeds under 35 MPH ) and up to 41 MPG over the highway ( speeds up to 65 MPH ).

I always get 500 miles per tank, and a few times, 600 miles. All from a 14.5 gallon ( usable ) tank. Absolutely fabulous.

Here's my comments after owning a Ford Escape 4WD Hybrid for one year.
 
The performance of the 4WD (really AWD) is considerably less than the 2WD version. 26 mpg (4WD) versus 32 mpg (2WD) in the city. I believe Ford should offer a 2W/4W version to allow switching manually in either mode. This should increase gas mileage by disabling the driveline. I've been thinking of disabling the driveline myself except for the warranty issues or looking for someone who may develop a kit that disables the driveline except when needed.
 
Ford should also consider having a similar Hymotions' plug-in option for almost doubling gas mileage and driving on batteries at higher speeds in the city.
 
Also believe the ECV transmission should be adjustable for smooth city/highway conditions versus hilly/mountain driving.
 
Hope this helps,
 
B.L.

I drive my Hybrid in the canadian winter. The truck performs above my expectations, but the transition gaz/electric is a little harsh at minus 20 and colder...

Its an AWD and it drives A-1 in snow and on ice.

I am proud to help preserving our planet by using a hybrid, but in numbers, i will never save in 5 years the hybrid costs...

But it's my small contribution for life quality...

Nice job FORD, keep on that way!!!

My one-week old 2008 Escape Hybrid FWD delivered 29.7 MPG for its first tank of gas in combined city and highway with A/C on condition. I am very happy about the performance and styling of the new Escape Hybrid.


Candy said...

Someone said they get between 500-600 miles per tank with their Ford Escape Hybrid. They must drive about 40 mph constantly. They best I have ever gotten is 465 miles per tank.
I previously owned a 4 WD Jeep Liberty which got 16 mpg at best which led me to buy the Ford Escape Hybrid. The mistake I made was buying a 2 WD and not a 4 WD. After owning a 4 WD it is senseless to go back. However, I am very happy with the Hybrid in the mild seasons, which is 3 out of 4 in the midwest. I would go back to my Jeep anyday in the winter months. But luckily winter doesn't seem to last all that long and I am once again happy that I switched to a Hybrid. The tax credit was a huge selling point for us.
