So the air stays inside when the windshield vents are not on. What gives?

I have the 2013 cmax sel. Can I get rid of the ANC if there really is any? i was in an Acura 2004 MDX and my ears felt better then in my car. I think so. I don’t get it. im scared I have to save for another car because I don’t want to hurt my ears every time I drive. There’s gotta be something that can be done. I hope.

Thanks all. I tried windows down. Not really any difference. But I’m not sure that matters since I’m still in the car and it’s still sealed or whatever elsewhere. BUT,,, I went to my Dr today. I have mucus in both ears with the right Having more then left. My ears even don’t feel good at home now. So he prescribed a nasal spray that may help. He said it might take 4 weeks. I’ll pick it up tomorrow. I guess this makes some sense and seems like it fits. I don’t remember having this problem before maybe Dec/Jan. I don’t know though. Just guessing. So hopefully once my ears are healed then they won’t hurt anymore. My ears do get much worse in the car though then when I’m not in it. So that sounds like a car thing too. I’m guessing. why was mold and a fan or air filter mentioned in the first reply to my post? How does that relate to my ears? It was it related to my other post about the inside or outside air circulation and then having a bad smell? Thank you.

I only have windshield and feet vents open and set. I’ll set for inside air. Drive. Changes to outside air constantly.

Thank you. I wonder does the Ford Fiesta have a similar cabin to the cmax? My moms is 2014 or something. I’m not sure exactly. And my ears felt weird in it too but I don’t think as bad. And how come I just now am noticing this in the last few months? Hmm. Would I hear this noise cancellation thing? This sounds cool cus my ears feel bad in my Bose QCII when I tried the noise cancellation. But I never use it. My ears have a similar feeling. My mom in her fiesta doesn’t have any issues with her ears. Does a 2017 or 2018 Prius have something similar to my cmax? I was in my cousins but can’t remember how my ears felt. I’ll try to leave the driver and passenger window open a few inches the next time i drive later today. I have opened the windows Before but not for long and I can’t remember how my ears felt. could this be my ears have a problem now? And no matter what car I drive I’ll have this problem? Or is it likely the car even though it may be totally normal for this car? And if I drive another vehicle my ears would be fine? i might be able to try a 2018 or 2017 Ford Edge top model I think. My sister has bought it brand new when she got it. And I can try a 2004 or 2007 Acura MDX top model.

I don’t know anything. But I doubt tires. It’s not that type plus the closer my head gets to the windshield it got louder. But it’s harder to hear the last few times I’ve driven so I’m lost.

Uhhhh.

Anyone please or is this site dead now a days?

When driving my ears plug up. I can’t remember this from before the last couple months or so and I had it two years. I’ll drive and going around corners or acceleration affects my ears a bit. I can tell they feel different. When driving my ears will plug a little towards the bottom of my ear and sometimes fully plug and yawning pops them. This never happened in any other car or truck I drove before my 2013 cmax sel. I was in a Ford Focus lately and noticed my ears got weird but maybe not as bad as in my own car. I don’t know if it’s my ears or car. I’m going to see a dr about this. But my ears should not plug every time I drive when there’s next to no elevation change.

This just started a few weeks ago. I’ve had my 2013 sel 2 years about. There’s a constant sound that raises and lowers based on how fast I’m going. It would be in the midrange freq. it’s not a low bass sound and not high pitched. I can be playing music and still hear the sound when on freeway at 50+ mph. It lowers its vol when I slow down and gets louder the faster I go. One time I was driving and the sound got louder when I moved my head over the steering wheel rather then just normal driving position. It sounded louder the closer my ears got the windshield. This never happened till a few weeks ago and it’s getting worse. Drives me crazy. I’m afraid that when I take it in to Bowen scarf Ford here that they won’t hear it or they’ll say it’s normal. It is definitely not normal. Never happened before.

The button to set air in or outside don’t work in the air circulation button. I set it for inside air. It shuts that off and does outside air. I’ll drive 30 miles and this happens 6 times or more sometimes. I only want inside air cus outside stinks bad. May be air filter in car I don’t know. But every time I set it for inside air it goes to outside air by itself constantly. It should never do this. I’m talking while driving. Not turning car on.

Anyone????

I get major static and stuff on radio when I change fan speed. I recorded it on my iPhone. It’s on one station. Not sure of others. This is my third ACM. Never happened before. Just noticed it recently.

Got it. Why does the dealer keep changing the ACM? Does Ford even give a dookey? It seems they don’t care to fix it.

Thanks guys. Umm. Can I just replace the HU with one from Car Toys? Or can I get sync 3 cheap somehow? I don’t know if this would help. I don’t know where this fuse would be. I guess you take something off under the glove box or something?

I’ve got a 2013 cmax sel. I’ve had the touchscreen freeze and replaced twice in the last 8 months or so. The touchscreen freezes. Cant change vol etc. shut car off the radio is still on. So battery dies and car is dead. Won’t turn on. This has happened twice this year and happened again today. Each time ford has replaced the acm. They have to again do this. What’s so bad about this that it keeps breaking? I want the sync 3 head unit but ford won’t do it and the only site I’ve seen is shadey and a complete ripoff. Anyway I can’t have this keep breaking every few months. So what’s going on?

Thanks all. What if the street name is just numbers? I don’t know why but I got the system to work. The first time I tried the address to my local social security office I couldn’t get it to work. Then I tried again another day and it worked. I have no idea why it worked the second time but not the first. The address does not have a street name. Just numbers. 156 131st Burien wa 981xx. That’s not the actual address but is how it is. I forget the actual numbers.

Thanks all. Mwhatcif the street name is just numbers? I don’t know why but I got the system to work. The first time I tried the address to my local social security office I couldn’t get it to work. Then I tried again another day and it worked. I have no idea why it worked the second time but not the first. The address does not have a street name. Just numbers. 156 131st Burien wa 981xx. That’s not the actual address but is how it is. I forget the actual numbers.

Thanks. I don’t want to cover the touch screen. But it might be ok. Not sure. So I guess naaa. I would rather not cover the screen. But then I don’t know how a mount kit would work without covering the screen. I want to be able to use my iPad mini 4 for nav and my Note 9 and iPhone XS if I want. I just prefer not to cover the synch screen if possible. Any ideas? And again truly thank you so much.

I only know how to enter addresses the same way you write them on an envelope. And when the nav asks for something I don’t know what to put. Addresses that have no name won’t work because the nav forced you to use letters not numbers. So I don’t get it.

Anyone please?

I want to get a mount kit for my iPad mini 4 and iPhone Xs and Note 9. I prefer the nav on those systems. What is a good kit? I don’t want it to be in front of the windshield cus I need to see. And it can’t be lower then the built in nav screen. But I have no idea what to get. It needs to be high enough so I’m not looking down and not over the windshield. Please help. I have no idea. Thank you.

I have the 2013 cmax sel. How do you put in addresses to navigate? It won’t let you the correct way like 1111 48th pl s city state zip. And when I try to put in one address it literally will not let me. The address has no name. Just numbers. And the nav system forces me to put in names. This system is so stupid I don’t even use it. It needs to let you put in addresses like we do on an envelope. Ford dropped the ball major. A bonehead move. I’m trying to learn how. Even the manual won’t tell you.

The two times the power steering did not work it did not work unless I power cycle the car. Seems that I won’t have any setting for the tire kit. In that thread a 13 SEL owner said he has no setting. I have the same car. Pt, yes I’ve seen your vids. I even mentioned I have several posts ago. They help. Thanks for sharing them !!!!

Hi all. I’m just popping in to give a quick update and ask a couple questions. Why does my car power steering not work sometimes when power on? The first time this happened a couple three weeks ago the car powered on then said have power steering serviced. Extremely hard to turn wheel. I shut car down. Power on again and it’s fine. This happened again tonight but without the check power steering message. Power car off then on and it worked. How do I get my car to stop the service mobility tire message every time I power the car on? I’m never going to use it. So I couldn’t care less and it drives me bonkers having to hit ok every single time I power the car on. This just started within last couple days or even today. And an update on my MPG. Well I reset my lifetime summary about 3 weeks or slightly less after I bought my cmax. I have filled it twice only and that was since sometime in April maybe. The Empower screen shows 44.8 avg MPG. Is that from when I got gas the last time since I reset the trip meter thing or is that since I reset the lifetime summary? And is that pretty good? Tonight I just got home from Enumclaw Washington. I live in Burien Wa. Takes about 55-60 minutes. About half off freeway and then half on I-5 north when going home. Tonight when I got home it said 52 MPG. I’m getting numbers much much better then you guys could remember when I first got it and started asking some questions in here. I’m using cruise more and notice it seems to do an ok job now. I have a question. When cruise is on, a lot of times the screen shows Charging Battery. While I’m driving. Sometimes it says Hybrid. Which is better? Better mileage? Of course it runs in EV a lot to and I know that’s off the battery. Anyway. Thank you all so very much for everything and being kind and gentle with me. I truly appreciate all of you so so much. Joe
