I have been able to do the 999.9 for 2.8 miles on one sweet stretch of road. Going to try and top that this weekend.

Noise from back of the car, when car is off
mtcmax replied to dmk2000's topic in 2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid
On one occasion heard a buzzing noise different from other times upon shutting down the car. Cycling three times and buzzing duration around a minute or so. I have had no battery issues. Could this be what I heard? Thank you. -
Not everyone who listed here was a one lister. My apologies for listing the outcome in the wrong thread.

Wanted to say thanks for everyone who answered my questions

Congratulations. Was in a drive thru, engine noise all around. Raised the front Windows and poof I am in a sound proof room, sorry I meant car. Owned the car 10 months and learn or get impressed by it every day. -
Heading to Wally tomorrow as it sounds like a winner to me.

So is being in EV long term with a high SOC just wasting FE potential? And doesn't the computer pick up on this? This is my next learning curve and have been reading the threads. Would just like to know if my inference is heading in the right direction.

My instantaneous is 42.5 mpg and continues to slowly go up. From your response should I infer that no glaring driving behaviors seen in the numbers? More adaptive in prep for winter and to 50 and beyond? Thanks.

I've only noticed the creaking when the hot summer sun has been shining on the door panel an extended period. I use the air conditioning on low and usually set 68-72. Creaking disappears within 10-15 minutes.

Bought in October last year and no check. So Ford thank you for this check this time. Feeling just a tad guilty though as now at 42.3 and still climbing. Little drive tonight came with a 56.1.

Condolences on your loss. She had excellent taste in men and cars.

I am cancelling cable. This forum is more entertaining.

Love to cruise. Ride is so smooth cause I use the cruise to moderate my speed in conjunction with the decease speed ahead and speed limit signs. You can hit right on the speed limit at the end speed sign. My instantaneous fe is 41.3. Just use the accelerator to get to speed up if I have someone behind. Working my way to my next goal of 45. The day trips I often get 56,65 but the best is when I go a few hundred feet and it shows 999.9.And the hill assist is a great tool on these western mountain declines where you need to keep it say around 25-35.

Paul I think you've hit on something valuable. Explain please more about a warranty ticket. It seems that sometimes you don't anything after a visit or they say the customer wants on the printout. The more I read here I wonder how much of all the problems are new owner, design flaw-mechanical or software, outside supplier. And this is for BullDurham-thank you for your comments. I know that especially now to be able to express how you feel and to try and help someone else gives meaning to your life. Reduce the stress whatever way you can. You have the fight of your life on your hands. Good people here. They would fix your car if they could and you too. Lastly took an almost 97 year old cancer patient on a drive and she gets a big smile, loves the navigation. Likes to tell me the street names. It's all about perspective. God bless and hope you get the answer you need.

Name one like and dislike with your C-Max?
mtcmax replied to armoredsaint's topic in General Discussion
Like the way it makes me smile when driving- quiet, mileage, view. Dislike-deep center-console. -
OK. An update on my 'service hell'. Car ended up being in the shop 49 days. They ended up putting a part from another car into mine to get it back to me. Airbag module. Focus loaner and since I had premium coverage dealer said no daily charge, just had to pay for the gas. Dealer still has to update sync as it was still not updated and the global windows still not turned off. Asked for oil change, synthetic and tire rotation- no charge. This car is so much fun to drive. I kissed it when I got it back. As soon as I got it back I kept promises made for rides to a couple of elders. One almost 90 and another almost 97. Priceless. One got out at the end of the ride and said 'now that was an experience.' The other would ask if we were in electric or engine. Could not believe how smooth it was going from one to the other.

CR's 10 Least Reliable Cars - C-Max leads the list
mtcmax replied to maxed-out's topic in Articles, News & Reviews
When I got the c max I called my Dad. After listening to me go on and on- the mileage, the high seat, the view. Silence. Then he quoted the bible- Consumer Reports. I pleaded my case weekly. Trips with 57 mpg, 49, 74 and low 40's. The silence of a car start. Then during one phone call he sighed and said- it's a good car till something happens. In March he was diagnosed with cancer. In April as he lay dying in bed and I was 2000 miles away on the phone I wondered what do I say to lift the mood. Then it came to me. I swallowed my pride. I told him- it is in the shop. A momentary silence then laughter. Told him I still love the car. Dad died last week. Cars are personal. My first car was a ten year old Ford Falcon that Dad bought. Ford please fix the c max problems, find the solutions so this good car does not fade away. -
My car has been in service hell so long (two weeks+) i have started watching the videos again.

This car is the best I've ever driven. Yet I am so fearful as two weeks ago I got a message while driving 70 miles per hour that the Advance Trac needed service.. Dealer could not get it in for 4 days. Now they tell me after clearing multiple codes, that a module has not come in so far five days counting. And today that maybe they'll have to take the part out of another car on the lot and put it in mine. They have now had my car 15 days.

Really enjoy how the brake coach helps me be a better driver.. I now look at my driving before the c max as being very crude.
