I have not posted in a while, BUT I recently passed the 100,000 mile mark (103,116 as of today) on my 2013 Cmax.  Purchased January 2013. Here are some statistics (pulled from ACAR app):

 

Lifetime Average MPG - 43.1mpg (2,380 Gallons of fuel used to travel 102,456 miles)

Maximum MPG - 60.5mpg (September 2014)

Minimum MPG - 34.4mpg (April 2013)

 

2013 MPG - 43.4 on 25,677 miles driven

2014 MPG - 46.9 on 22,398 miles (me trying to get best mpg every tank)

2015 MPG - 42.0 on 19,597 miles (Wife daily driving car January, new tires July 2015, 44.0 before new tires, 39.7 MPG after new tires) 

2016 MPG - 40.6 on 20,714 miles (I started daily driving car again September, new commute 5 miles vs. 30 miles)

I also recently (101,240.8) went over 600 miles on a tank without really trying: 600.7 miles on 12.40 gal (indicated) for 48.4mpg

 

I had the Transmission replaced at 63,500 miles (under warranty)

Both Front side windows have jumped the track and been fixed (passenger side twice)

Right Front Half Shaft replace at 73,800 miles (~$600)

Tires replaced at 60,332 Replaced with Michelin Premier A/S (~$800)

 

I would buy the car again, I really like it.

Thanks for the report...very informative.

 

What was the symptom that you noticed with the faulty Half Shaft?  Was it a thumping noise and/or vibration at high speed?

 

I noticed you replaced your Half Shaft not long after your transmission was replaced. My transmission and both front wheel bearings were recently replaced (under warranty at 49K miles), and the metal grinding I heard is now gone. However, I continue to hear a thumping noise in front that varies with speed. Dealer said it is road noise due to uneven tire wear. I'm in process of replacing the tires to hopefully eliminate the thumping noise (or at least eliminate the tires as cause). If new tires do not resolve issue, I'm wondering if a faulty transmission and/or wheel bearings could somehow damage the half-shaft?
