I see coolant in both of my hybrid and energi. I think coolant sensor and coolant host are common to both model. I apologize for my ignorance. Wing

Purchased my 2013 SE on Aug 13. Now got 33,000 miles. Never have battery problem. Left car in garage for 2 weeks when went aboard. Left USB in 24X7. Just purchased an Energi 302A so I can use the carpool lane by myself. Got Engine warning light on the second week. Code P2183. Something to do with the coolant sensor or coolant host routing. Problem 1st reported in Nov 2013. Doesn't seem Ford had a permanent fix yet. Worrying what code to see next. Enjoying as the Energi is cheaper than my SE after all incentives. Wing

I mean AM1430 in LA. Now I have 2 C Max side by side and the Energi received the signal while the hybrid does not. I know the two radio systems are not exactly the same. I think since the Energi can receive the signal clearly, the broadcast is OK. So the problem most likely on the radio. The hybrid use to received the same station without problem. I notice the signal is better in day time. It should apply to both car. Thank you for the link to the broadcast pattern. Wing

The AM radio works on some AM stations but failed to listen to the Chinese channel AM1430. At first I think it can be the carrier problem in broadcasting the signal. Now I just purchased a C Max Energi and confirmed that it is the radio rather than the broadcast. Any advise.

Dealer checked my car and find no issues. Planned to buy a battery meter to monitor the battery condition. Any suggestion on battery meter? Wing

Yesterday I drove 70 miles to court. I guess the battery should be charged. Later I returned to the car and listened to the radio. About 5 minutes later, the radio turned off itself. Shortly after I turned the radio on again, I saw message on the radio screen "Battery Low, Radio Turns Off" I drove the car for about 10 miles and then try to pair my cell phone. Saw the same message and the radio turned off before I could finish pairing my phone. This morning I find out the battery is below 12 V. Charging system seems normal. Now my car is in the dealership. They have to keep my car for testing and give me a loaner for 2 days. I purchased my SE in August 2013. Now it got 28,000 miles on the meter and never have a battery problem. Recently I had the SYNC update. Wing

My panel is different

The base of the antenna is smaller and the antenna is longer.

xtreme vision is brighter but not whiter. ( 3600K ) crystal ultra is whiter but not brighter. ( 4000K ) yellow light penetrate better is a fact. many luxury car tends to use hid that is whiter. I do put hid into other cars with projector head light. I avoid using hid in reflector head light to avoid blinding others as I don't want to be blinded. Pick the right bulb for your driving condition.

These are just self adhesive reflective tapes available in most auto parts stores. The golden one is Prostripe® - Vinyl Striping Tape - Part # R32816 - size 7/16" x 40". Just fit - no cutting except the length. The orange one is Trimbrite - T1816 RED - 2" X 24" - you need to cut it to fit the groove shape. I purchase this size bcos I am going to tape the door as well so people can see it when the door is opened. My others cars have lights on the door but not the C-max.

The 2 photos I attached were being taken at night time. I used my other car to shine on it from behind. Here comes the photo at day time.

Just changed the low beam form Crystal Ultra to xtreme. See photo - driver side is xtreme vision - brighter but the crystal ultra is whiter The bulb at the bottom is xtreme vision.

My latest mod. Very easy. The width of the strips used is 7/16" . See photos

Here comes the pictures of the waved sheet metal right under the driver door handle. (actually waved right under both ends of the handle. - See the images of the tree and the white lamp post. On the unwaved surface, the lamp post is straight. - When the white lamp post is over the waved area. - When the white lamp post is over the edge of the waved area. See the size and the depth of the waved area.

When I took delivery of the car, the rear door appliques on both sides were scratched. The weatherstrip on the left side sanded the B-pillar when closing and got roll-up occasionally. The weatherstrip on the right side sanded the b-pillar when closing and got roll-up all the time. Last week I got both rear door appliques replaced. The left weatherstrip reinstalled. The right weatherstrip replaced. Now the weatherstrips just touch the b-pillar (the dealer call it C-pillar). No more roll-up. My Avg MPG is 40.3 I love my car and the dealer service is better than I expected.
