Wrong battery. The main, what I call the Drive battery, is fine. The "start" battery is the one that goes dead on us. Car is completely dead, cannot open the back, no lights and it will not start. I carry a booster battery with me everywhere. ps. Wife went to pick up the Red C-Max and it wouldn't start. It is still there.

I own 2 C-Max (2013) and both have been in and out of the dealer for various problems and recalls. One (Red) of them is currently at the dealer because the 12volt battery kept going dead. The dealer told my wife she needed to drive it more. She typically only drives 10 miles a day. I'm afraid that would not explain the 12 volt battery issue though. I charged it up on a Friday evening, then she didn't try to drive it until Sunday and the battery was dead on her. No lights are on, doors are fully shut. My silver one did that once as well, and I drive 50 miles a day. I'm thinking about putting a battery tender on hers, specially for the winter time. ps. the dealer has replaced the the battery in the red one twice, and once in the silver car.
