That's the easiest to repeat. The initial symptom I noticed was a whining noise while driving. This happened in all gears, including neutral, and whether or not accelerating or coasting. It almost sounded like tires whining and was first noticed on the trip home from South Carolina after Thanksgiving. -
FYI, 2+ weeks using new transmission. So far, so good. Nice and quiet again. :-)

FYI, I just had the transmission replaced under warranty (33k miles). Took 6 weeks; 4 just to get a new (not rebuilt) transmission. See TSB forum for more info.

Agreed.

Just to be clear, the C-Max transmission does not have a torque converter. The planetary gear set and motor/generators replace all that. Cheers.

I just had a Fusion rental for a month and had a problem with front windows not going down. Come to find out the glass was frozen to the outside weather stripping. I ran a credit card along the bottom outside edge, between the glass and the door, and then the windows worked correctly.

SSM 44606 - 2013-2014 C-MAX, Focus and 2014 Fiesta, Transit Connect - Several Radio IssuesSome 2013-2014 C-MAX, Focus and 2014 Fiesta, Transit Connect vehicles may exhibit one or more of the following concerns: AM/FM/Sirius radio display does not update when changing stations using presets or frequency selector, during CD operation the track info is blank and no information available, FM mode Autostore does not store stations in numerical order, and/or following a vehicle start-up the radio cannot be heard until the radio on/off is cycled, volume level is adjusted or the radio station is changed. To correct these conditions reprogram the Audio Control Module (ACM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 90.04 and higher. Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraft.com. For warranty claiming use causal part 19C107, and use applicable 12651D labor operations in SLTS manual Section 10 for the vehicle.

SSM 44776 - 2013-2014 C-Max, 2013-2015 Fusion HEV/PHEV and MKZ HEV, or 2012-2014 Focus BEV - Powertrain Modules Coordinated Flash - Service Tip2013-2014 C-Max, 2013-2015 Fusion HEV/PHEV and MKZ HEV, and 2012-2014 Focus BEV require a coordinated flash when performing module programming for the ABS, BECM, PCM, SOBDM, or TCM. When module programming is initiated for any of these modules, the IDS will check for software updates for the ABS, BECM, PCM, SOBDM, and the TCM and will automatically install updates to each module that is not already at the latest level. If the coordinated flash is interrupted undesired vehicle operation may result. If the ABS module is programmed during the coordinated flash, DTC C1018 may be present after programming has completed, and the Multi-Calibration Routine must be performed. The Multi-Calibration Routine is found in IDS by selecting Toolbox - Chassis - Braking – Service Routine – Multi-Calibration.Posters Note: This rather implies that it is possible to have an incomplete or partial software update.

SSM 44718 - 2012-2014 Focus Electric / 2013-2014 C-Max Hybrid/Energi Hybrid Secondary Data Link Connector (DLC) and Aftermarket Devices Potentially Causing Drivabiltiy Issues2012-2014 Focus Electric and 2013-2014 C-Max Hybrid/Energi vehicles are equipped with a secondary (16-pin) Smart Data Link Connector (SDLC) under the driver side dash. The secondary SDLC, also known as a GateWay Module (GWM) is located at C2803 and is under the dash compared to the primary DLC which is located behind a access door in the lower dash. Always use the DLC at C251 in the dash for Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) connection behind the access door. Please check both DLC connectors for any aftermarket device. Disconnect any aftermarket devices from all Data Link Connectors and retest for codes before pursuing normal diagnostics. Aftermarket DLC Devices can cause inaccurate DTCs and Warning Message Indicators, and set DTC codes that can lead to incorrect diagnosis and repair.

From Oasis: Jan 29 2015 5957-2015 CMax - P0116 With MIL Illuminated and/or "Engine Coolant Over-Temperature" Warning Message Displayed After Using Remote Start Some 2015 C-Max vehicles with Integrated Remote Start may display a message stating "Engine Coolant Over Temperature" following a remote start event when the engine is started using the key or Push to Start button. DTC P0116 may set in the PCM when this condition occurs. This condition will only occur when the remote start system times out, causing the vehicle to shut off. If only DTC P0116 is present, verify that the customer used the Integrated Remote Start system when the concern occurred and clear the DTC. Engineering is currently investigating this concern and no repairs should be performed at this time, if DTC P0116 occurred after a remote start event. If the vehicle is not equipped with Integrated Remote Start, or remote start was not used, follow normal WSM diagnostic and repair procedures.
