Glad to hear about the Hybrid battery lasting a lot longer and the mileage Paul and Snowstorm got so far on their Cmax.., Forita our 2013 C Max took a dent in the tailgate the other day , but it still closes and locks ok. Was told not worth fixing tailgate because value of car is roughly $4500 because we have 124.000 miles on her. We were thinking about trading her in with a heavy heart, because we were also concern about the Hybrid battery since Forita is now seven years old. But after reading your good reports, we decided to hold on to Forita. Thanks...

I got mine back yesterday. Yay! The technician's notes read: "Road test vehicle and verified TSB 20-2219 applies. Removed trans for inspection as per TSB. Split trans case and inspect. Verified pitting final drive and transfer shaft bearings. Found transfer shaft gear wore into the dampener housing. Replaced trans as per TSB 20-2219 and flushed trans cooler. Updated trans strategy and road test." It's going to take a while to get used to it being so quiet again, and to un-train the internal mental grimace of anticipation of the engine turning on at low speeds. It feels like getting a whole new car, so I am quite happy, and looking forward to driving it for many years!
