Sorry to hear you were quoted $600 for two new tone rings. My 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid had to have both replaced (at a Ford Dealer) for only $230 total. That was this summer (2010) and I've experienced no problems since. Many report that dealers and repair shops insist on replacing the axles too -- at considerably more expense. It would seem that this isn't necessary if it's only cracked tone ... Read More

I did not report my exact same problem to the NHTSA. What is their contact information, I will definitely contact them. I emailed Ford back in February of this year (and even involved a local news investigative reporter, Susan Wornick, cc'd) and here was their (disappointing) response (and my original inquiry is below that): From: To: steve Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2010 9:49 AM Subject: Ford Motor Company > Dear Steve, ...

Considering a FEH purchase...
Written by: callenstewart on Jul 18, 2010 6:02:26 PM
I currently drive a 2005 Ford Escape. I'm seriously thinking about purchasing a new (2010?) Hybrid. Of you who already own them, do you have any advice or words of caution about anything I should be aware of? (I'm not a mechanic, so this gets a bit overwhelming rather quickly.) Thanks in advance.

I bought a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid in mid summer of 2007. The automobile has been great until now, March 2010. I have put 80,000 miles on it since I bought it 2.5 yrs ago. In the past two weeks the engine cuts off at high speed (60-70mph). A warning light comes on (looks like a red yield sign with an exclamation point) and dash display states "Stop slowly". There were ... Read More

Hello~ alice612. Before I read your post I was considering 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid for my wife�s next car but after I read your post, I think Volkswagen Jetta TDI is the way to go. I currently drive a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid AWD with 42,000 miles on it and am having a Reverse Sensing System problem. I also had a Wrench Light issue because of a bad Aux Mode Door ... Read More
