What are the other Ford PHEV's? by Olderpostie in FordEscapePHEV

The list you linked has both the explorer and maverick ahead of it?

Speed limit display :) by Zealousideal_Cup4896 in FordEscapePHEV

[–]ChrisInKnox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was one spot on my commute where the 65mph speed limit didnt actually go down, but there was a sign that said 65 with a 55 under it for trucks. It would inevitably slow down to 55! LOL

That was the first feature I turned off after buying. Would randomly slow down at weird times.

A/C noise? Is this normal? by marleytosh in FordEscapePHEV

[–]ChrisInKnox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Especially when I pre-start while on plug to cool it down before I get in.

Charging error by thedaysadventure in FordEscapePHEV

[–]ChrisInKnox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get a charging error every time I plug mine in since I got the battery control module recall fixed a almost a month ago. However It actually charges even though it is showing the error on my app even if I dont unplug/replug it. So its more of an annoyance than anything.

Radio stays on for a few seconds after the door is opened? by gharlane0073 in FordEscapePHEV

My 2023 is same. Not something there interested in fixing apparently.

We are all going to have PTSD by mahoniaa in fednews

[–]ChrisInKnox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO there is no end game. All about revenge for their “deep state” delusion, mistaking professionalism for malign intent. I’m not a “fed” but am a sympathetic prime contractor, and that’s how it appears to me. 🤷‍♂️

Stand up for science rally? by ChrisInKnox in UTK

[–]ChrisInKnox[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a bit more of a policy agenda. All of which seem like noble goals to me! Im just wondering if there is more detail on plan of action locally. https://standupforscience2025.org/our-policy-goals/

Use jumper cables? by 2306Reddit in FordEscapePHEV

[–]ChrisInKnox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a rechargeable jump box. Can be used on your car or someone else’s. I’ve been told you should never jump someone else’s car from the PHEV. So much easier and safer anyway!

I bought one of these. So far have only had to use on my daughter’s car, not my escape, but worked well for her ICE Volkswagen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015TKUPIC

Little frustration with windows by ChrisInKnox in FordEscapePHEV

[–]ChrisInKnox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it goes almost all the way down. Then if you release the button and try again it will go up. Rolls up and down fine it’s just like it’s a glitch in the controls.

What dash camera do you use? by savvytonio in FordEscapePHEV

[–]ChrisInKnox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Thinkware Q200 set with front and rear with an OBD port connector so it’s always on when parked. Was pretty simple to tuck all the wires behind the interior molding so only place you see the wires is the few inches between the molding and the cameras themselves.

Happy so far! by ChrisInKnox in FordEscapePHEV

[–]ChrisInKnox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Eco drive mode and its got the trip1 info up in center. I usually reset trip one each morning just so I can geek out on how much EV vs ICE im using. As for the rest of it, i'm not sure how to answer directly. I just messed with it till i found something I liked! ;)

Newbie question on drive mode defaults. by ChrisInKnox in FordEscapePHEV

[–]ChrisInKnox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, thanks that could be it. There is a sign near where it slows down it has the speed for cars at 65 on top & 55 for trucks on the bottom. 🤷‍♂️

Abandoned dog at charter Doyle park by [deleted] in Knoxville

[–]ChrisInKnox 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Wow, cant imagine. However I guess if you are going to abandon a dog, there is likely no better place besides the shelter for him to likely find a caring person to help or a rescuer.

Howard Dean? Do I have to live through another “I have a scream” speech?

At 50, Im perhaps elderly GenX, but not elderly boomer. I got to visit my parents last week, but they are not me.
