hard to be happy. had an Escape hybrid also. so this is my 3rd hybrid. since i've always gotten better with the 2011, i was hoping to do better with the 2014. You have to work at it. but i luv doing it. I'm always trying for better mpg. it will improve in the fall, then go back down till spring. i haven't heard about this in the news yet, but I'm sure we will. i can hear the Lawyers at the door. i'll take my check and be happy with it. the letter that came with the check said something about a free gift also. (discount on a 2014 f350 would be nice lol) I'm disapointed but, I'm still a Ford fan always have been, and always will be.

i got a check today $1050. this sucks. i sold my 2011 mkz hybrid that got better mpg. i always got better than 43mpg in town. if i had known, i would have just kept it. how can the 2014 get less mpg. i have 3000miles on the 2014. I'm getting 39.5 mpg.

Wow, so no one is impressed by these numbers but me? i think you guys at Ford did a fantastic job on the Lincoln.

i'll just let the pic speak for it's self. the car is one year old this month. just luv the thing. what kind of mpg are other owners getting? http://www.freeimagehosting.net/ken5e

Thanks. heres one more vid. the Bird is a 63 1/2 i have a 65 Falcon in the chassis shop, with a 598 ford racing block. should run low 7s

some videos i made of my buddy's raptor.

is there some kind of hold or parts shortage for the hybrid mkz? i haven't heard of one. the dealer may be just wanting me to take what he has on the lot. but thats what he just told me anyway.

this is a video i made from last sunday at the dunes. a friend just got a new raptor, less than 30 days old. had a blast with it. enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/user/flanaganman#p/u/0/iPChj8-1SvQ

my 08 will be two yrs old in aug, been a great car. 34mpg in town in the summer. had an odd problem last week. the hybird had sat for about 12 days without being driven. so i get in start it up like i always do, runs fine but no radio sound, or display, even the clock does not show. so i take it to the dealer, they decide it needs a radio replacement. so have to wait till the next week for the radio to come in. i continue driving it for the next two days till, on the 3rd day it wont start or even try, the battery is dead, has 7 volts. nothing was left on, key was in the house. i charge it over night at 2 amps. next day it starts runs just fine. but now the radio works and remembers the presets even, did have to reset the clock. so i take it in anyway the tell me they checked everything including the battery, all is fine. im glad it's working again, i just wish they could have found something wrong and fixed it. ill be wondering for a while if it's going to happen again.

good news then. looks like i will be placing an order for one. thanks

can i still order a 08 sd? if not when do the 09 sd come out? thanks.

im still luvn my 08 hybird

sorry about taking so long getting back, but im happy to report its not cracked i let the dealer look at it and then i sanded it by hand the cracks were just surface cracks. im glad, but i will check it over every time i change oil. i was trying to get a 08 sd now ill have to keep driving the 04

no on the lift. truck came with 18s p275/65 changed to a 285/60 18 i cant help but think there's something wrong with the casting im taking it in on tuesday so ill get a better look at it and some better pic. im hoping the ex-warranty will cover it. the arm is $250 plus tax hope its just one thats bad. i still cant help but think im not the only one thats had this happen or maybe people should be taking a closer look at them.

heres some pic ive never worried about the arms before never gave it that much thought just a big change from all the trucks ive owned before. 69 71 94 ranger 96 f150 97f250 2001 f150 in the 2nd of the pic you can see its cracked in the casting seam you can see where it had been ground. on a mac you can drag the pic to the desk top and zoom in on it.
