Through September, Ford has sold 26,016 hybrid vehicles, up 73 percent versus the same period in 2008, according to figures from Autodata Inc.

It turns out that in a fleet of hybrids over 30, at least 7 of the vehicles had some sort of failure... a couple of which were 2nd or 3rd time issues. and a few resulted in accidents... Ford has reviewed all of the vehicles in the fleet and will be issuing a letter saying its safe to drive.
Ford didn't want a recall or any negative publicity about their hybrids (the Mercury has the same issue) since times were tough in the auto industry. You can read the history of my posts on this site, but it provides no consolation. I tell everyone Ford hybrids are no good, but gee they made billions last year. This is my last Ford.
That is really the best attitude to have. Again, the Ford engineers have worked hard to make the vehicle act like a "non-hybrid" in many ways. "I hope the engineering efforts and complexity added to these systems turn out to be worth it in the long run."[marg]. An excellent question and one we are all wondering about.

The 12v system has to power up in order to turn the high voltage system on. You can try to jump the 12v battery system like any other car and if that allows you to start the car thenm you are going to have to have the battery tested and have the car tested for a parasitic drain or charging system issue.
Huh? There are very few vehicles of ANY type that can seat six and are not SUVs. The only ones I can think of off hand are the big pickups, the Ford Freestyle, and the DMC Pacifica. The latter two are car based, but need a third row to seat six. I own the FreeStyle and it seats 7 - including adults in the 3rd row. No hybrid option, however.
After searching googling and reading tons of blogs it appears that all 2005 Ford Escape Hybrids are experiencing random acts of "power steering failure" and no single Ford Dealership has seen it before.
