I have since found a solution to this occurrence, a preventative solution- moth balls (naphthalene) behind the cabin air filter. If you suspect you might have critters living in those air spaces playing a suitable Gun's N Rose's selection at maximum volume and base will drive them out. I used "Welcome to the Jungle".

The tail light replacement lenses for the 2017-2018 Cmax looks the same as the tail light replacement for the 2013-2016 Cmax. What is the difference other than the part number 2017-2018 - HM5Z13404A and the 2013-2016 - DM5Z13404A and the $100-$200 price difference. thanks Bill A

Since the Escape and the C-Max have similar body plans I suspect that many have had rodents in their passenger cabins I wonder if Ford has ever had a complaint filed against them with the National Institutes of Health or the CDC for a design defect or manufacturing failure that exposes potentially thousands of Escape or C-Max owners to a potentially fatal rodent carried disease - hantavirus Just wondering out loud whether a hungry lawyer might see an opportunity

I bought a 2018 C-Max 2 months ago, last week I was pushing buttons and sent the fan high. I heard and felt a vibration that shook the whole dash. The dealers shop said is was a blower motor and ordered one. Today I found out the vibration was caused by a rodent nest in the blower fan. This isn't covered by the warranty. I have lived in the South and have had multiple vehicles for over twenty years. I have never had a rodent breach the passenger compartment of any of multiple brands of vehicles. Is this a design defect in the Escape and C-Max body styles? Can anything be done to prevent this entry? Blowing hot or cold air over rodent feces and urine cannot be healthy, ie: Hantavirus Has anyone reported this source of infection to the CDC? bill a.
