When you're towing behind your motorhome, do you tow with wheels down on the road or on a flatbed? The towing companies around me will not tow any hybrid unless it's on a flatbed.

The CMax was towed into our local dealership, & they did a bonnet to boot inspection with nothing being found. They also did a rechecked the Under Carriage Shield thoroughly & noticed it was just not secured properly.

Went to get mail this morning & when pulling out of the driveway, started hearing some grinding coming from the front end. The grinding happened when both going forward & reverse, any idea what could be causing the grinding? On another note, the Under Carriage Shield had some damage done to it & is not in top condition. Waiting for a replacement to come in.

Whenever I get the prompts that I have a new message, I just hit ignore & wait until at destination to check. Only thing, I'll do while driving is answer phone calls & keep the conversation as short as possible.

LMAO A C-Max next to a Prius

How much was it to swap the Shark Fin Antenna with the OEM Antenna? I know there are several C-Max in my region as the dealership we got Neytiri from has sold several, however sighting another C-Max is few & far between (lucky to see 1-2 in a month).

Our primary issue with the rear lift gate is it not closing all the way automatically. We have to push it down manually to close securely.

We're owners here

As an additional add-on to my last message, I now have a Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 which is paired to my Galaxy S4 via Bluetooth, & when in Neytiri the phone is paired to both at the same time. I have had no issues using either. When I use the Galaxy Gear 2 to place a phone call, the MFT display still shows Privacy Miode so car audio is muted.

We received the 2nd check today. It arrived via Priority Mail for us. With three different drivers (3 different driving styles), we're averaging just about 37 MPG. Some of the $475 is going towards the purchase/install of a new Undercarriage shield for Neytiri. We've had her since September 28, 2012 & currently have 64,712.7 miles on the odometer.

I have a Galaxy S4 & have had no issues with anything.

Anyone having problems with their seat belts being too tight or pinching the neck? You can get seat belt extenders for no charge through your local Ford dealership's parts counter.

I've driven the C-Max a couple of times in snow & have had no issues at all. It's just using common sense & knowing your own capabilities as well as the capabilities of the vehicle you're in when it comes to driving on snow/ice.

We found a good use for this compartment: wine/champagne/alcohol bottles.

A perfect example of both the above posts would be yesterday. My wife & I were walking around the Rose Quarter (Portland, OR) waiting to attend the 3 P.M. Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert & when crossing streets which had pedestrian control signals, we stopped & waited for the light to change. Almost all others (pedestrians, skateboarders, & bicyclists) just walked/rode right through as if there was no signal present. When crossing at intersections where there was no signal, we stopped, looked for traffic then crossed when we saw it was clear, yet others just crossed without caring. After the concert on our way to catch Tri-Met we saw the same things happening (it was dark out then & people didn't seem to care if they got hit or not).
