Like you said if it were your CMAX you would do it but this one is not. It may not be a big deal to you because it has not happened but for some of us a jump start has not worked and we have had to be towed to the dealer or wait for roadside assistance. My last two times were within 1 weeks time. I'm not blaming this on hybrids I have another make that is a hybrid and it has no issues but I have never had a non hybrid vehicle with this issue over and over again without a charging system or parasitic load issue. This car is under warranty and Ford cannot fix it and I'm within my rights to remedy this issue and I am a loyal Ford owner. Would you be okay with paying a contractor to do a job while having a clearly written contract as to what is to be done and then have to add something yourself to make it right?

Thanks for the suggestion but this is not something we should have to do to these cars. I'm not wasting any more of my time nor another penny on this thing.

I'm making an appointment at the dealer this week and then pursuing the lemon law. I love the car when it works, but with the repetitive battery issues and other recalls I just don't have any faith in it anymore. I make my living with my car and cannot afford the inconvenience. I have not lost my faith in Ford as I have several others that are problem free but this model I cannot trust.

Mine failed for the 10th time today. I am sick of this car at my last visit to the dealer they were kind enough to leave me a letter informing not to leave devices plugged in! Thanks! Nothing like having to carry around a booster pack in a less than year old car.

I have both a 2013 CMAX and a 2013 CT200H in the family stable. Where the CMAX has more power and room it has had to have multiple visits to the dealer for issues from day one. The CT200H has been in once for an oil change an that's it. The CT200H has a different suspension than the Prius and has more power as well. I personally prefer the CMAX because it fits my needs better but the CT200H wins no question in reliability and quality of service from the dealer. I want to keep my CMAX but the repeated battery issues have me less than pleased.

It will still be a while before it helps I just renewed my registration on my Cmax and it was $218 for 2 years
