Jus-A-CMax

I use to have this rattle that I thought was coming from around the front passenger seat. Pesky rattle. Turns out, I stuffed the deep center console with a mid size clorox wipes, a large mag torch and a cord to recharge my android and when those 3 are stuffed in there snug, they will start to rub against each other and the plastic inside the console at the merest bump causing the rattle or maybe the console to rattle against whatever is holding it. Now I just keep them "loose" by rearranging what goes in there. Took a while to figure this out and the Ford technicians could not find it while driving. It took the 2 of us to figure it out.

Congratulations, added to the 700 Bar. @Bill.E - you need to post your picture here. I did add you to the bottom of the 600 Bar pending you posting the picture.

@Sparrow yeah, if the CMax was as light as the C yeah but thats pretty darn good in a C to get 102MPG. I've had the CMax on city driving in the 60MPG to 66MPG daily (go to work and come back to garage)...but the more you're use to the CMax and fine tune your understanding of the EV mode - you'll maximize your MPGs. Right now, I am doing 60% freeway and it coming in at 52MPGs, 665 miles and I'm just not even trying to maximize my MPGs at all. Pure City, I get 800 to 860 miles a tank. My car has cracked the 900 miles. So yeah, its a great car and welcome to the forum :)

"The first 2013 C-Max was listed at a combined 47 mpg, which virtually no owners or test drivers could replicate. First it was downgraded in August 2013 to 43 mpg, and then again--in June 2014, along with various other Ford models--to its current rating of 40 mpg combined." O'rly. I did not get that memo...51.4 Lifetime 47K (think my car does 60 city 40 fwy). My tank right now is 63MPG at about 230 miles on it. Ssshhh.

Closing, please carry on the conversation here: http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/2867-windows-opened-by-themselves/

- All I want is a slider bar for the MP3 player - surely that is NOT that hard to program or enhance...now that my 2013 is not going to have the next Sync update.... ...but alas, reality tells me, I might have better luck finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow....and a unicorn to ride home afterward. :dance:

Locked, please carry all conversations in the link posted by P3G.

Apple vs Micro$oft...it NEVER gets old, lol.

Added almost 10K since my last post and bumped my Lifetime up by 0.3. Brake score still s*xs Yes...

well, c'mon down and we'll same ale for yer ;)

...drink beer. Water is overrated. :baby:

Moved to the lounge section. All the best BoomerGer with the new car & thanks for your contribution to our wee community..

Thanks for your input, your reading of this is not correct and no one is being censored/banned for opinion or view. This is not a grudge either. If anyone else has any concerns, please PM me. Like I posted above, PLEASE take this discussion to its own thread to the LOUNGE section. This thread is about injector failures experienced by Matt so let the conversation continue in that vein. Thank you.

Ok guys. DD has had a long history here and he was "timed out" before and warned about his posting. Banning him was not taken lightly but enough is ENOUGH. Now, I would appreciate if we can go back to the original poster's topic at hand so as to not trash the thread. If people want to continue the DD discussion, please start a new discussion in the Lounge and keep it there. Thank you :)

I agree. Everyday I drive it, I am amazed by how well the CMax performs, I am getting insane MPGs even if I drive to Mammoth and the whole trip at 95% freeway speeds, fully loaded, I still score a 45-48 MPG overall. Plus as much as MFT/Sony gets a bad rap, I think the sound, voice control and navigation is amazing....makes for a great trip. And I love plyaing with the car, full battery - GUNG HO acceleration....so much FUN :)

Thats enough, DrDiesel has been banned. He was banned prior for bad behavior, was allowed back but now hes back to his ole condescending posting ways. Adios. Carry on, nothing to see here except a bad apple getting tossed out.

Thanks P3G....snowstorm, no excuses for u NOT to look it up in the manual, slacker... ;)

You can, check your manual to put the windscreen wipers up. I do it when my CMax hits Mammoth :) ...and welcome :victory:

Welcome back, and good news indeed :) I heard and seen nothing about a redesign for the 16 model. But the 14s and 13s can be had for a deal. Bumper to bumper, welcome to my world as well. Since gas is so cheap, every tin box with gaf tape holding it all together is OUT on the road, more accidents as well and more crazies. Whilst none of us like high gas taxes, it did make sense to cull the roads of these idiots and the gaf-tape vehicles...sorry, my 2c as I am not enjoying this traffic in the mornings & evening drive home.

Well, welcome Meagan. We're a quite bunch of posters, its our nature when we are not in our cMaxs hooning past the Priis, we're in a dark closet with our 13.1" 2 in 1 with the quad led screens, posting away about frozen chickens stuck in the front grill & stopping the grills covers from opening, causing a rise in the ICE temps and the subsequent failure of transmission oil boiling over inside our cabin...-the FUMES - and we're all getting HIGH... :drop: No, I am not high while posting this. I may be in a closet though. Welcome ;)

I wish I had a Prii instead of the CMax. I miss the plastics, the central 60s green LCD digital display, interior noise, and sponge steering, the acceleration by consensus (even miss the mail in ballot voting for acceleration), smaller tank (after all whats the point of carrying all that gas when you should carry less and drive less distance with a smaller one) and the better mpgs... Thank goodness the Prii doesn't have the runaway acceleration (thats impossible in a Prii, there aren't enough votes for that), the fires...I can drop the ejection seat and the automatic fire extinguisher mods as well. Oh Prii how I miss thee..... - wake up - Sorry, the caffeine just hit the blood vessels. Carry on, nothing to see here.... ;)

Thats uncalled for Doug. Ford Service does a lot around here. No need to throw mud at Tricia. Welcome Davidvillafwt. You'll see lots of CMaxs around the LA region nowadays...unlike 2012 when we had as much sightings as Big Foot ;)

Merry Christmas Tricia. Hope u get lots a pressies :love_shower:

...I'll throw in some MPG driving lessons under your Christmas Tree -if- you -ever- get your a$$ down here Brother Mike. Merry Christmas Bro ;)

Search and you will find some reviews of the Gas Pods. I still have'em on my CMax but then again, it only adds a few MPGs per Paul. ...a few MPGs... :victory:
