I bought my 2013 C-Max about one year used. So I've owned it since Dec. 2013. (I was looking for a Toyota Prius, but this one was on sale at the Toyota dealer for a much better price than the Toyota - I should've been wary at that point.) This car has had a failed battery numerous times about 4-5 at work at the end of the day (not good when I have to go pick my kids up from after school care!) and 2 times at home. At 38.5K mileage (and before today) and the most recent battery failure, I took it in to the Ford dealership for assessment. They said I needed a new battery...but I was about 2.5K past the warranty ( :~/). So today is the 3rd time at home and about 2 weeks since sinking $160 for new battery and labor. I am not one of those people who are big into cars...I do have the expectation of reliability. I also don't buy cars very often and don't like to spend lots of cash on something that isn't reliable. Very frustrated with my first hybrid purchase from Ford. Next time a Toyota. I speak to taxi drivers that say their Prius is going great after 300K miles. That's what I expect. Ford, you owe me a working car. How will you make this up to me??
