Wow, thank you all for the quick replies. I really hate the thought of buying a car that has a transmission that I will worry about all the time. The price is really good on the car, but still, the last thing I want to deal with is rebuilding a transmission. Perhaps the better move is to keep searching for a later model. It seems like 2015 and up are more reliable. I'd still like to hear from anyone else who has a 2013 or has any other information regarding the transmission issues. The more info I can gather, the better decision I'll be able to make. I really do appreciate a good active forum like this one. Happy I joined.

So happy to have found this forum. I am seriously considering buying a very low-mileage 2013 SEL Hybrid (1-owner 22,000 miles) and am looking for some advice. I have found both good and bad reviews of this car. Most issues seem to be of an electrical nature, and my question is this: If buying a 2013, have most of the issues that plagued that year been fixed through updates? I have never purchased a Ford before and have only owned Subarus my whole life. I really need a reliable car first and foremost. So is it safe to assume that most of the kinks that accompanied the 2013 c-max have already been addressed or do you think they have a real reliability problem? Thanks so much in advance for any information. Just trying to make an informed decision before I head to the used car dealer. -BS
