2007 Ford Escape Hybrid Sport Utility 4-door 2.3l - Loaded, No Reserve As-is on 2040-cars
Raymond, Mississippi, United States
|
Up for auction is our 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid. She has been a wonderful car for our family, but now needs some work and we don't have anyone locally who has the equipment to do it. We haven't had any trouble with the car until about 2 months ago when we received a "STOP SAFELY NOW" message on the console. We had the car towed to the dealer who told us that the battery needs replacing and quoted us about $6000. We had it towed to our local independent mechanic who is certified for Hybrid work and had him install a used battery that we purchased here on ebay from a wrecked Escape. Unfortunately, the new (used) battery we purchased had lost its charge and the car still wouldn't crank. Doing some research on the car, it appears that the car won't crank if the Hybrid battery is at less than 30% of its charge. We don't have any way to charge the battery here, so it's time to sell. We did receive a quote of $2,500 to have the battery reconditioned at a Hybrid specialist in Dallas. It's just too far for us to take it. If you have access to a mechanic with a High Voltage Hybrid battery charger, this could be your auction. I will include the original battery that we took out, as well as the replacement we had installed. Since your mechanic will need access to the battery and HV components, I will leave the rear cargo trim covers unattached.
We are the original owners and have kept the car in a garage. The car is loaded with every available option we could add: Leather interior, Nav package with CD Changer, Power Moonroof, Heated Seats, 6 Way Power Driver Seat, Roof Rack, Rear Camera. The car has received all regular maintenance and oil changes with premium synthetic oil. The leather interior is in fair condition, with some wear to the front seats (see photos). The back seats are in good shape as they were covered with a car seat mat. There are a few small spots on the carpet and one faint spot on the headliner above the back seat. The glass is all good. The tires are pretty new (less than one year) and are in good condition. The paint has a few rubbed spots on the doors but is generally good. There are a couple of very small dings on the hood and quarter panel. The car has lived in the South and hasn't seen road salt; there's no rust anywhere on the car. The car has never been in a wreck or had flood damage. The navigation monitor has a bad spot in it that doesn't affect functionality (it's about the size of an eraser). The car was getting an average of 32 MPG on regular commute driving. We are non-smokers. I will be happy to help you arrange shipping or you can come here and load it on your trailer. $400 Deposit is due via Paypal within 3 days. The remainder can be paid via Cash, Bank Wire or Certified Check. The title is clean, in-hand, and current. |

Ford launches pair of recalls affecting fullsize sedans and Transit Connect van
Wed, Jan 28 2015Ford has announced a pair of pretty significant recalls affecting the 2010-2013 Ford Taurus and Police Interceptor, as well as their platform-mate, the Lincoln MKS. A separate recall covers the 2014 Transit Connect. The fullsize sedans include 205,000 vehicles built at Chicago Assembly over a variety of timeframes, ranging between December 1, 2009 and November 30, 2012. The vehicles, 194,889 of which were sold in the United States, have an issue with the spring controls on the interior door handles that could cause the door to open in a side-impact crash. The Transit Connect recall, meanwhile, includes 16,100 vans built between November 6, 2013 and September 20,2014 at the company's Valencia, Spain factory. In these vehicles, the seatbelt fasteners may not have been tightened properly, which could cause them to loosen over time, a condition that's obviously bad news in the event of a crash. Ford says it is not aware of any accidents, injuries or crashes in either recall. Owners will, of course, be notified and asked to report in for inspections and if necessary, free replacements. Scroll down for the full press release from Ford, which includes the complete breakdown of dates during which the affected sedans were built in Chicago. JAN 28, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS Ford is issuing two safety recalls. No accidents or injuries are attributed to either of these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2013 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Police Interceptor sedans for interior door handle issue Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 205,000 2010-2013 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Police Interceptor sedans due to an issue with the spring that controls the interior door handles. If the spring is unseated, the door may become unlatched in a side-impact crash, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2013 Ford Taurus vehicles built Dec. 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 and Feb. 1, 2011 to Nov. 30, 2012 at Chicago Assembly Plant; certain 2010-2013 Lincoln MKS vehicles built June 2, 2011 to Oct. 31, 2011 at Chicago Assembly Plant; and certain 2010-2013 Ford Police Interceptor sedans built Dec. 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 and Feb. 1, 2011 to Nov. 30, 2012 at Chicago Assembly Plant.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
Ford spotted testing new Focus RS at the Nurburgring
Thu, 26 Jun 2014Ford is expected to be launching a revised version of the Focus ST soon, but the latest snapshots from our spy photographers at the Nürburgring suggest that the Blue Oval is already working on an even more potent example: the new Focus RS.
Though the partially disguised test mule is wearing an ST badge (along with a Dewey sticker that makes us wonder what adventures Huey and Louie are up to and what manner of duck-tail rear spoiler they may be wearing), there are several tell-tale signs that something else is afoot here. There's a larger front air dam, bigger brake calipers, dual exhaust tips (instead of the central exhaust on the ST) and a reshaped wing protruding from the trailing edge of the roof.
That may all be well and fine, but what's under the hood? We don't know yet for sure, but word has it that Ford is preparing to port over the 2.3-liter turbo four offered in the new Mustang, where it packs 305 horsepower and almost as much torque - potentially retuned to produce even more for the top-of-the-line Focus, which could channel it all to the front wheels like the last model or pack an all-wheel drive system. The Global C platform on which the Focus is based does, after all, also underpin AWD models like the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC.
