Ford Escape, Toyota Prius, Chevrolet Tahoe, and all of their twins waranty 
the battery pack and hybrid systems for 8 years/100,000 miles (longer in 
states that have adopted California emissions standards).  If you own a 
modern car longer than that, you aren't doing your part to keep capitalism 
strong!
