thanks cr08 mine doesn't show that at all. just on the left side for trip data. a few days the bats got up to 17 miles charge. but still hoovering around 15 miles... stinks. i was seeing tanks over 100mpg per tank having a 20 mile range. and being able to use heat. now going to work, no heat, and occasionally running with windows cracked to prevent fogging when cold. and in having the engine kick on occasionally in the last mile or so, stinks... oh well, still better than the alternative...

@Billyk24 What dash display is that from?

fwiw saw this thread as well... So if the battery is degrading....is there a point at which its warrant-able? do I make a trip to ford and document the decline, or what until I get closer to the 8/100 warranty expiring. Was thinking about the maverick too... and this thread https://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/8230-expected-life-of-hvb-and-cost-to-replace/

@cr08 Fully aware of temps and such and climate control usage. I just find it strange that I was seeing 20-22 estimated range and now its only showing 15... and i was able to make the trip to work with miles and charge left. Now the battery tank is empty. that's a 25% drop. with no climate usage. Its showing 100% charge but only 15 miles. but it was showing 100% with 20-22 within the last 30-60 days. So what other testing can I do, wait for warmer weather? just feels off,

Hey folks, recently 2015 energi does not seem to be fully charging. when sitting overnight on a 120v charger or at a 240 charger at work. only goes up to estimated range of 15 miles? in the past i was seeing 20 and the occasional 21-22 mi estimate range the 15 mile estimate range is an actual 15 mile range. my drive to work is 15.4 miles and I used to be able to make the drive all electric no problem. Not now. yes I know that in the winter time batteries don't have as great of a range. car is garaged at work and at home. yes I know the cabin heater is electric as well, but when I turn on the heater the range drops to 10mi. I have driven several times with out the heater on just trying to see if its an estimation/display error. but it doesn't seem to be just seem like the battery isn't holding as much charge...Dead cells? Any one have any ideas? the recently had the purge valve replaced, but I don't think the dealer trip and the battery range is correlated. If it is, I didn't notice the range issue then. 50K miles on the car... any ideas? on my drive home tonight I'll get the amount KW used to get home. with no heater (might be a warm enough) and post

hate revive an old dead thread.... but... had the p04ef code pup up.... and rather than start here, I did some internet sleuthing and then to the dealer. after printing out the TSB 19-2207 which supersedes tsb 14-0193. dealer is saying that its not covered under the emission warranty... figured I was in the clear since its emission related. gotta read the fine print. all data says 1.1 hours for a non warranty repair. I think I' gonna be on the hook for a few hundred bucks... note to self... always check here first. but I would not have been able to do the reprogram...

plus 3 ive been working all my linguistic magic, so far no dice. My adjuster is just dealing property losses. No injury claim, so there really isn't much else to go after. they will pay out sale tax, tag, titles etc. but since the earliest dmv appointment is 2 months away, legally I'm in a no mans land as to whether or not I could swap tags make the appointment and ride... dealer fees...if I go to a dealer, then the dealer takes care of a ll that and they usually charge a crap ton more... having to take time off work to make the purchase. all that going to add up to real money... I just cant make up my mind on whether or not I want to stick with the Cmax if I get into a newer cmax, it will be familiar, but even if I get into a 2018 its still the same tired interior from 2013. i like the utility of the suv/crossover aspect of the cmax, but wife has a forester so don't really need it. I could get by with a smart for 2. then wading through all of the local ads, and then toss in carvana, zoom and all the online dealers mudding up the water, so if you see something you like you may not be able to look at it until you buy and it gets delivered or its on the otherside of the country. heck you used to able browse craigslist and find some decent deals, but now the dealers have taken over that.... i know first world problem, and I'm just venting.

sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. on friday they finally gave me a price of 8061 (after taxes), if they retain the vehicle. not a hateful offer. they had some pretty good comp sales in my area to compare against. initial repair cost were over 3k, but then started removing parts and looking for more damage and they found it. Given the whole pandemic thing, dealing with the DMV is not something I want to do. Earliest appointment for titling/registration is more than 60 days out. I am hoping to get a few more bucks out of them. If I make a private party sale, it will take me a couple months until I get it legally titled and tagged which means a rental car. if I end up at dealer, it means paying the dealer markup plus all the fees. so Now I'm in the market. I liked the cmax, I could likely get into another one, newer with some cash out of pocket.. Maybe even considering a true plug in... since most of my driving is to from work under 20 miles each way and we have plugs at work. I do make a few longer trips 60 one way from time to time.

no. not a deer, at least with a deer I might have had dinner, left turning vehicle not yielding ROW

I can take pics of mine for you later today. I had the same dilemma. I ended up going with the tan and I have been happy with the look. to be honest I don't really notice the slight color change anymore...

i bought my 2013 used as well. (11K on the clock when I bought it) currently 85K on the clock... also a prius transplant. other than the few small recalls, never seen the inside of the shop...

pressures are up where they have been high 30's to 40... Mpg getting better. been a light winter, have been very careful about heater use. so maybe my initial reports of the crappy milage were a bit premature.

Serious question.... do tires break in? the reason I ask, is that my fuel mileage is getting closer to what it should be for this time of the year since replacing the tires last october. I took a big mileage hit initially, put a bout a thousand on them and and then I did a 2000 mile road trip to florida an back. and BAM mileage is almost back up to where it should be given the weather, winter fuel, ect. My driving style hasn't changed, the only thing that I can think of is that now that the tires have been on the car for several thousand miles they are "broken-in" like a new pair of shoes. am i nuts?

Why doesn't Ford build a Transit Connect hybrid?
Marc Smith replied to jackalopetx's topic in Competing Products
the transit is already a pretty hefty vehicle, tipping the scales at 4000lbs. which is about 300lbs more than the FEH the FEH hybrid system is about 200lbs heavier than the FE 2.0T which means the TC would be 4200lbs... so so the TC would end up being 500lbs heavier than the FEH plus 30 or so real world extra HP over a non Hybrid TC. I don't think the performance numbers would make change much I think the TC would be benfit from the 2.0 T ecoboost. decisions... decision. -
Why doesn't Ford build a Transit Connect hybrid?
Marc Smith replied to jackalopetx's topic in Competing Products
different trans and different engines so who knows about the longevity of the 8 spd trans in the TC... im no speedster. but the ability for the cmax to merge will with traffic is nice. an the TC is 2.5 sec slower... -
Why doesn't Ford build a Transit Connect hybrid?
Marc Smith replied to jackalopetx's topic in Competing Products
So, hate to revive a dead thread but its better than starting a new one since it kinda of related. I'm about to tick over 80K miles on my cmax. which puts me squarely in the "time to start looking for a new car" within the next 12 months. if this a was a toyota or a honda, 100K miles wouldn't bother me. There's been enough transmission issues with the cmax that 100K miles is kind of the magic number. my hobby involves hauling around RC boats that are up to 6' long, so while on paper a small pick up truck work, I pretty much loose the ability to haul people, and that not really an option. Even with a 4 seat pick up, the bed ends up being too short. So i've been considering the TC wagon. Yes its ugly. But its been a while since any car Ive owned has been anything more than an appliance. My wifes forester would work and then I could buy a commuter car, go 100% electric. But the Forrester is her car., and even though we are happily married I feel bad taking her car on long trips to play with my toys. so the TC has the seating ability and the storage capacity/flexibility, price is right. its well suited for around town work not a big and bulky as a true minivan, can be reasonably optioned but GD it, it is gutless... Ugh...
