Our update was done about 2 weeks ago and everything seems good!  The car now stays on the mapped roads in NAV, the liftgate works properly and it is starting to relearn it EV+.

60 miles North of Pittsburgh!

I put  snow tires all the way around our car because our garage is behind the house and it is a 6' climb up to street level.  Snow tires made a huge difference in the way the car drove compared to the stock tires.  I bought my tires mounted on 16" rims to save some money over the stock 17" size.

I am at 33.8 Lifetime MPG.  Pennsyvania driving.  Owned the car since November and with the warm weather the MPG's are climbing but will never get close to 47 MPG's.  There is a little over 4K miles on the car now...

Fingers crossed, that is awesome news...I hope Ford comes thru this time, this is the biggest pain in the neck in what is otherwise a SUPERB vehicle  :rockon:

I can't wait!  With the warmer weather my fuel mileage is great now so the only complaint is the glitchy MFT!

3.1.3 and the TSB 13-1-11 done on my car and still having problems...

I don't have it yet...  hopefully soon!

The insurance for my Cmax is more than the insurance for my 2013 Avalanche and the Avalanche cost $20k more!

Dealer has ordered a new GPS module.  Ford told dealer that it should fix the Navigation problem of showing me off road most of the time.  Part arrives later this week.  Will keep forum advised with my progress.

I hope that is the fix because the TSB didn't work for me and I am getting tired of waiting for the release of 3.5.1 and the A4 map.

We supposedly just had TSB 13-3-11 done to our car, but it didn't seem to work very well.  The car still doesn't want to stay on the road!

On the bright side, our lifetime milage is around 32-33 MPG but it has been cold ever since we bough the car... 35 degrees again today!  However, we had a couple of days last weekend that were pretty nice (mid 50's) and we achieved the best MPG's for individual trips we have seen so far.  I had a 30 mile round trip and got 47.8 on the way there and 48.8 on the return trip.  My wife had a 10 mile trip back from church the following day and said she got 50!  These trips were on 2-lane roads with speeds under 60 MPH.  Hopefully your MPG's will get better with the warmer weather.

Supposedly the car is fixed now...  they had to keep it an extra day because they needed to contact Ford because the car wouldn't recognize the new module.  The down side was that we had the TSB installed for the NAV and it still wanders off the road so it will be going back again.

Well the TSB update didn't work, but the car came back clean and full of gas!  They even took the floor mats out and washed them!  On the bright side, we had warmer temps this weekend and the MPG's are awesome!    We are averaging 48+ right now on every trip!

Ours has been at the dealers for 2 days.  It went in to have something replaced for the "intellegent" access where it wouldn't unlock when you grabbed the handle.  We gave them the TSB number for the NAV because we have been having problems since day one and they haven't been able to locate an update.

They just called and supposedly everything is fixed (including the NAV).  They also felt bad about having the car so many times and for so long without being able to fix it, so it is supposed to be getting a nice hand wash and a full tank of gas!

I hope everything will be good forever and no more trips to the dealer!  WooHoo!

The car went in the shop yesterday to have some sort of module replaced because the "intellegent access" (keyless) didn't always recognized when you grabbed the handle so the doors didn't always unlock.  The car is still in the shop, because after they installed the new module appearantly they couldn't get it to SYNC with the computer so now the locks don't work at all.  Oh Boy!

Our lifetime is around 33 MPG.  I know that sounds horrible but we drive the worst possible scenerios.  Very cold weather (winter won't go away), and tons of short trips of 1/2 mile or so and then shut down for a few hours so the car never warms up or charges completely.  On the bright side...  that is well over double what we were getting from our 2010 Chevy Equinox that we traded in!

I had the block heater on my Duramax plugged into a wall timer and it would come on about 3 hours before I left for work.  It made a big difference on a diesel because they are very inefficient until warmed up.

Shaners sorry for all your problems.

Thanks Laurel.  I am sure they will eventually get it fixed.

We are getting very depressed about the delays.  The Cmax goes in this week to hopefully fix the door lock problems (it doesn't always recognize the intellegent key).  They are going to look into the NAV issue again and we gave them the TSB about the GPS module.  It is frustrating because my BMW and Chevrolet both have NAV systems that are spot on!  How can Ford be this far off?

I have owned nothing but leather for about 15 years now but I can understand why some people wouldn't want it.  For me it is the more practical material because it holds up well to kids and pets and is very easy to keep clean.  I also put a nice conditioner on it once or twice a year too.

I have the "pane in the roof" and have come to like it.  It takes what is a fairly roomy small car and makes it feel so much roomier!

Other than a problem with the "intelegent key" sometimes not unlocking the door when we touch the handle, and the glitchy MFT and NAV which should be solved with the new software update due out very soon, we really like our Cmax.

I have only seen one other Cmax on the road.  When my wife saw it a few days later she said she looked at him and he looked at her...  They both smiled and waived and went on their merry ways!

I was flipping through the channels this afternoon and the Nationwide race in Bristol Tenn. was under caution.  I was thrilled and surprised to see a Ford Cmax as the official pace car!

The other downside to drafting is stone chips in your paint and broken windshields!

I agree the higher temps are making a big difference.  I wonder if the afternoon trip home yields better MPG's because not only is it a little warmer but you are also most likely not using your headlights.

We have a white platinum also (SEL).  I don't know if the sensors are prepainted or not, but I would bet that they are.  That is a shame about the paint chips and I am glad they are going to make it right for you (which they should).  Enjoy your new car!
