Hi Paul, I have no idea about the ECM. Nothing on the service order/receipt indicates that. Inspect & oil change. This problem has not occurred before. It has not gotten worse, but still charging/discharging at wrong times. Will ask the service shop. ?

Hi James, I am having the same exact problem after taking my car into the dealer for state inspection and oil change. It is charging/discharging the opposite of when it should. My leaves were also gone. Have you learned what happened to cause this discharging of the hybrid battery? Have you been able to correct it? My car, 2013 SEL 78,000 miles, was fine before this.

Thanks for responding. I was hoping there was an option I hadn't found. Maybe a future upgrade?

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the voice of the navigation speaker? I know other systems allow this. I cannot stand the voice of the woman telling me directions. I won't be able to use that feature if I can't select a better voice. Couldn't find any reference to this in the manual. Help!

In Galloway, NJ I've seen a Blue Candy at the yoga studio and someone I know in town has a Sterling Grey. While driving in the Evesham area on Monday (8-12-13) I saw an Ice Storm, a Blue Candy, and a Tuxedo Black.

Those are the type of seat covers I'm considering - bookmarked the page. Is your dog a Cocker? (can't see the photo too well) Is there a thread for C-Max pet photos?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Just downloaded it.

I remember those days and am still living them because I live in NJ where it is ILLEGAL to pump your own gas. I am planning to quickly hop out of the car and guide the attendant about how to properly fill the tank and observe that he doesn't do it wrong or spill any. Ugh, what a hassle this will be! Luckily, I'm not expecting to visit the gas station too often!

My car should arrive any day now. I'd love it if someone would give me some advice on what I should and shouldn't do. Like lock or don't lock = dead battery? Should I have gotten some extras like all-weather floor mats or the plastic bumper coating? And what's the deal with the windows? All of the photos I saw had tinted windows; are these not standard? Do I need to break in the engine? Highway, city, both? Appreciate any suggestions. :airquote:

Nice marketing angle. You should pitch this directly to Ford's marketing department. Quick, before someone steals it...

My dogs also love to go for rides! Sophie wears the harness belt, too. I'm planning to get a seat cover or covers. Haven't decided yet whether to get custom made and a dog seat cover or just a generic pet cover. I want to protect the seats from dirt & damage, but still want to make it look nice when without canine companions :)

Model: C-Max Hybrid SEL Date Ordered: Tuesday 6/11/13 Promised Delivery: 4 - 6 weeks Actual Delivery Date: 8/15/13 State:NJ I contacted the dealership owner/manager questioning the delay. That very same day I got a call from my salesman telling me my car was there. Coincidence? Either way, I love it!

I was so glad I could get the black interior; actually, it was deal-breaker. You see, I have 2 dogs. The small one rides in his car seat. But, the big one has her face right up against the door and wet nose/face plus inevitable dirt = a mess that the stone interior would likely not survive. I couldn't take the chance. Black is a practical choice that I'm happy Ford allows (Subaru does not)

Hello everyone! I want to thank all of you for sharing your experiences with Ice Storm. I am eagerly awaiting the delivery of my car and was starting to doubt my color choice. Every photo I saw looked different and I was worried I made a mistake. After reading your posts, I am reassured. And I never considered that it would look clean when dirty - that's a bonus. Any day now...
