I noticed oil on my garage floor this week underneath the engine. Only have 31500 miles on the car. Back to Ford again :(

I have the same problem on my 2013 SE with 31,600 miles. This started about two months ago. I'm taking it in for the same thing today. Let us know what they find out. I'll post if they find a resolution.

My driver's side door squeaks the same. I took it to the dealer and it was fixed for two months then it came back. I'll have to try the silicone spray on the door seals!

RF door lock for your house?
dtorres replied to mlaurence's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Here's one option: http://www.unikey.com/ This one is really new and only available for pre-order right now. It relies on bluetooth from your phone and when it detects the presence of your phone in your purse or pocket via bluetooth you just touch the lock and it unlocks. Or you can use the key fob it comes with (like the C-Max keyfob) and then you don't need a smart phone. With the keyfob its the same concept it detects the presence of the fob and then you just touch the lock. It's pricey though at $220 per lock. -
My oil change light came on at 8900 miles. I'm at 16,800 miles right now and assuming my driving is consistent I'd expect it to come on again around 18K miles. Like others have said change the oil when the car tells you to. After a few oil changes you'll get a good idea how many miles that is based on your driving.

I think the lights might be part of the winter package only on SE models. I have an SE with the highest package available with navigation, but did not get the winter package.

In the case of the A/C compressor just not having it turn on every time you hit "Auto" would help. I've noticed it can be 60F outside, I hit "Auto" with a set temp of 72F and the A/C will also turn on. I've gotten used pressing the "Auto" button, then immediately checking the outside temp and if it's lower then the set temp reaching down to shut off the A/C. Hopefully one of the changes will be for the system to check the outside temp and if it's lower then the set temp then it will not automatically turn on the A/C when you hit the "Auto" button.

Wrong bulb type for cargo area lights???
dtorres replied to xanotos's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors & Wipers
I did the same upgrades. These worked well for the rear cargo area and fit nicely: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008KP7MIA/ref=pe_385040_30332190_pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_1 and these worked nicely for the rear plate: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0064O0NB2/ref=pe_385040_30332190_pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_2 -
One other warning. When I removed the factory rear plate bulb (a 5 watt bulb) I noticed that it was burning the plastic around the bulb holder. Because LED bulbs tend to run cooler replacing the rear license plate bulb made be a good upgrade for safety reasons. Here's a picture of the rear plate bulb holder and both sides looked like this.

So I thought this was a cool upgrade and ordered the led bulbs for the puddle lights, rear cargo area and rear plate. After replacing the rear plate and cargo area lights I went to do the puddle lights and had a Homer Simpson moment when I realized there are no puddle lights on the SE model! I guess that option only comes on the SEL.

I find the one on the driver side pops off every couple weeks. I'm thinking I'm going to use some hot glue to hold it in place but at least that way it can be pried off later if needed.

I had this exact problem before the upgrade so it's a MFT problem not specific to the upgrade.

New Radio for Ford C-Max
dtorres replied to jockamobeatz's topic in Audio, MyFord, Navigation & SYNC
The issue I'd worry about here is that the Sony radio has a stronger amp than the standard MFT radio. Ford has a history of doing this by adding an external amp mounted some where in the car rather than building it in to the stereo. So just swapping out a MFT system for a Sony one may not work since you won't have the external amp.
