Did you look in sunken compartment below and behind the passenger seat? There should be a tire compressor and sealant.

Interesting idea. How about a 2nd set of identical batteries with a switch for charging or discharging. Taking twice the space and doubling your range. You would have to flip the switch to change to the 2nd set.

My dealer finally got back to me on Escape Plug-in availability. They are currently being built, expect to see them in 30 days

Try shining a flashlight at the parts at varied angles, doing this I was able to read all the numbers but it was difficult.

The newest version of Sync 2 (3.10) removes the Vehicle Health Reports from the sync menu's.

All of our doors checked ok. But I still need to remove the driver door hardware and spray as the unlock function doesn't work reliably in wet weather.

3.10 is out there on the internet if you search. I found a copy and installed it. Works fine for me. The file was on the fusion forum. I have been running it a couple years now. Here are the file names that worked on my 2013 Hybrid. You expand the files on a dos formatted usb drive.

There is a mechanical key hidden in your key fob so you can open the driver door.

Yeah the rav4 is not the best looking. The white Rav4 front end remind me of a Star Wars stormtrooper. After reading the reviews for Rav4 I posted above I have shifted back to the Escape or BEV.

Just looked at reviews for Rav4 & Escape on KBB. Rav4 did not have good reviews, lots of problems. The Escape all had good reviews but there was only 5 total.

Yes, looking forward to your review when you get your escape.

I have been looking at Escape & Rav4 plug-ins or maybe a non-tesla EV since I want to keep suv/crossover hatchback style. After you decide to get rid of your C-max what car would you replace it with?

Is your car going to be the first one to roll off the line? ?

Emailed my Ford dealer a couple days ago about Escape Plug-in delivery schedule. He said... Can't even order yet, May be a 2021. I'll recontact you in 30 days, more information by then??

Ford seems to have trouble making reliable transmissions lately. (explorer,focus) Is the 2020 escape hybrid tranmission a new design?

I have 2013 C-max Hybrid with 58k miles manufactured in feb 2013. So far no problems. I drive 80% city & 20% highway@ about 60mph. What percent of 2013's have had their transmission go bad? My powertrain warranty runs out in april next year and have been wondering if I should replace the car before then. Otherwise I would just keep it since it has been reliable. What are you other owners doing?

Mine only starts the ICE if the outdoor temps are below 40 degrees. I always turn off the heater and go easy on the accelerator.

Was curious about escape hybrid mpg so looked to see what was available on fuelly.

Yeah Ford really dropped the ball with Sync 2.

Plus 3 is right , these don't need a lot of work. The only tools I have needed were for changing engine air filter and the oil pan bolt (15mm). Also you will need a torx bit to remove the large fiber shield to change the oil. All of those are done at home. The only tool I carry with the car is an ice scraper. : )

That is one of the sub files in my 3.10 release below.

This is the file name of the 3.10 version I installed a couple years ago. Gen2v310build16180updatepackageNA.zip Is this the same as what they are calling 3.10 now?

No the Ford site stopped letting you download the releases so I downloaded it from someone on the internet. Here is the thread where I updated to 3.10.

My 2013 Hybrid build date Feb 2013 works with 3.10. I installed it myself. (takes a while to install). Difference might be I installed starting from 3.8 not 3.6. I think the main changes from 3.6 on were for phone updates. Read the release notes from each release and see if you think you would benefit with upgrading.

Here is one Wiring Diagrams, lots of them on Ebay
