  1. Been awhile since I have been on here, but we have had our 2014 Cmax for almost 7 years now and it currently has about 62K miles on it. I experienced the lug nut issue trying to rotate the tires last year. Since then I have been taking it to our local Ford dealer for that job. Other than that, the only major issue was with the power steering which we had replaced under warranty.

     

    We are still getting 44 mpg overall but on trips over 20 miles sometimes it will exceed 50 mpg. My wife still loves her Cmax but she now has her eyes on a new Mustang Mach-E!!

  2. We recently took our first Road Trip in the C-Max. I pulled into a Rest Stop about 150 miles away from home. When I tried to back up, it felt like the Car died. It didn't but the Power Steering Check warning was on! From that point on we had NO power steering and it was on a Sunday so there were no dealerships open. We were on our way up to my Wife's Sisters house in the Florida Panhandle so I ended up driving the last 300 miles without Power steering!! The next day I dropped off the Car at  Gary Smith Ford in Fort Walton Beach. Later on that day we were told that the Power Steering Rack needed to be replaced and they would have to order the part. We got the car back Wednesday morning and headed back to our house in Lake Wales. On the way back we detected something rattling underneath the car! On Thursday, New Years Eve we dropped the car off at Weikort Ford in Lake Wales. The Service guy at Weikort said it sounded like a wheel getting ready to come off! Turned out it was some bracket that was loose, probably as a result of the Rack replacement. Needless to say I am NOT happy with Ford right now!!! This car only has 17k miles on it!!!

  3. My daughter just bought a new 2015 C-MAX Sel. She could have saved some money by buying a used 2013, but I advised her not to, primarily because of all the battery Issues that seem to be inherent with the 2013 model. :rockon:
