Hi, I've been a C-Max owners since april 2013. I'm originally from the Motor City so I like to spend my money supporting American Car Makers. I've been a Ford Customer for many years, owned several Mustangs, F150. However I've had the C-Max strand me with the dead battery 3 times now. Once in a rainstorm while trying to get kids to school. Each time the dealer says "we've fixed it." 1st time: it's the sync system, we re-programmed it. 2nd time: There was a wire loose under the seat that was causing the battery to drain. We fixed it. 3rd time: The battery was bad. We think we fixed it. I'm at my ropes end with Ford and ready to buy a Toyota. I filed a claim with Ford and they offered me an extended warranty. (go figure) It seems silly that I should have to go out a buy a charger to jump my car when it doesn't start. Oh, did I mention the Ford Road service? The guy shows up to my house with no jumper cables!!
