I EXPERIENCED THE SAME RESULT AFTER 13B09, THIS CONTINUES FOR TWO WEEKS AFTER THE INSTALL, THEN SUDDENLY THE MILEAGE ON SHORT TRIPS(2-5 MILES), SUDDENLY INPROVED TO 40 MPG PLUS INCLUDING SOME TRIPS AT 55MPG. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DESTIMATIONS, MAINTAINED EVERY TIME THE KEY IS TURNED OFF, IS CLEARED DURING THE 13B07 RECALL INSTALLATION, AND THE EV SYSTEM HAS TO RELEARN YOUR ALL DRIVING DESTINATIONS. THAT WOULD EXPLAIN MY EXPERIENCE.

that is not necessasrily true, when you have your aoto serviced, all of the gps locations could be uploaded to a NAS location allong with the vin number. all of your frequent locations could be known. i'm not worried about it because i am not involved in criminal activity. but it could provide information to be used in a prosecution.

IS ANYONE ELSE CURIOUS ABOUT THE CMAX ABILITY TO DETERMINE YOUR DISTANCE TO YOUR DESTINATION? THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES THAT THE CMAX ATTEMPTS TO USE MORE EV UTILIZATION AS YOU APPROACH YOUR DESTINATION. I UNDERSTAND HOW THAT COULD BE EASILY DONE IF YOU WERE USING NAVIGATION WITH A DESTINATION SET. BUT THE MANUAL MAKES NO REFERENCE TO TO NAVIGATION DESTINATION BEING REQUIRED. I HAVE NOTICED THAT AS I AM APPROACHING A FREQUENT ADRESS, THAT THE EV WILL DRAIN THE BATTERY IN AN ATTEMPT TO USE EV ALL THE WAY TO THE DESTINATION. DOES THE CMAX MARKS GPS COORDINATES EVERY TIME THE KEY IS TURNED OFF AND MAP OUR CURRENT POSITION IN RELATION TO THE CLOSEST FREQUENTLY VISITED DESTINATION?

YESTERDAY I DROVE TO A NEARBY CITY AND RETURNED. I SET THE ECO CRUISE TO 70MPH ON THE 50 MILE INTERSTATE TRIP, I NOTICED THAT THE ICE DIDN'T EVER START DURING THE WHOLE 50 MILES. ON THE RETURN TRIP OVER THE SAME ROUTE AT 60 MPH THE ICE RAN VERY INFREQUENTLY SHOWING 80% TP 90% EXCEPT AFTER THE ELECTRIC MOTOR ENGAGED (EV MODE). THE RESULTING MPG WAS 40.?. MY DRIVING METHODS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CONSERVITATIVE, AMD WITH THE CMAS IT BECAME MORE CONSERVITATIVE. THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP SEEMED UNINTRESTED IN MY PROBLEM.

I USE CAPS BECAUSE THEY ARE EASIER TO READ. I AM NOT CONCERNED ABOUT INTERNET PROPRITIES, ONLY THE SIGNIFICANT DROP IN MPG

I PURCHASED A 2013 FORD CMAX ON APRIL 30,2013. I WAS ESTATIC WITH THE MPG I WAS GETTING. I DROVE IT AROUNT TOWN FOR A FEW DAYS. THEN I MADE THE LONG TREK BACK FROM ARIZONA TO ILLINOIS, MY MPG KEPT INPROVING. WHRN I ARRIVED HOME MY LIFETIME AVERAGE WAS 39.6 AFTER 2300 MILES. MY MILEAGE DROPPED TO 39.5 AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS IN ILLINOIS I WAS STILL VERY SATISFIED SINCE MOST OM MY LOCAL TRAVEL AVERAGES LESS TNAN 5 MILES ONE WAY. ON AUGUST 16, AT 5284 MILES, I TOOK THE CMAX TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AND 13B07 INSTALLED. I BEGAN CHECKING MPG AT THE END OF SHORT TRIPS, TO MY AMAZEMENT IN STEAD OF BEING 33-36 MPG THWY WERE BELOW 30 MPG. MY LIFETIME AVERAGE AT 5485 MY LIFETIME AVERAGE IS 39.2 MPG. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND ASKED 13B07 BE REMOVED AND THE PREVIOUS PROGRAM PTCM BE RESTORED, THEY REPLIED THAT THEY COULDN'T RESTORE THE PREVIOUS PROGRAM BECAUSE THE SYSTEM WOULDN'T ALLOW A BACK LEVEL PROGRAM TO BE INSTALLED. I CALLED FORDS CUSTOMER RESPONCE, AND WAS TOLD THAT 13B07 WAS INSTALLED AND I SHOULD TRACK MY MILEAGE FOR 30 DAYS. I HAVE READ COMMENTS FROM OTHER WEBSITE MEMBERS SAYING THAT 13B07 DIDN'T WORK FOR THEM THE FIRST INSTALL AND THEY TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER A SECOND TIME FOR 13B07 INSTALL. DOES ANYONE ELSE A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE AS ME OR AM I UNIQUE. ANTHONYSCOTT
