If you don't find a home for them, put them on craigslist. You should get +/- $400.00 for the set. Contact a company like this one, they will buy your rims. http://newwheel.com/ They don't have any but if they did they would get $246 each I found some on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/FORD-C-MAX-FOCUS-17-2012-2013-FACTORY-OEM-WHEEL-RIM-SILVER-98152-/200883412834?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Wheels&hash=item2ec5959f62&vxp=mtr

It's getting a quick flash in a generic add "gets good gas mileage" in N. Texas.

The Energi weighs quite a bit (300 lbs I think) more than the hybrid. That should be = a mpg or 2.

I would have to take the Black because of the roof, if the red one had it .

I googled your code (obd P0D80) and found a PDF. Here’s the link. http://www.motorcraftservice.com/vdirs/diagnostics/pdf/OBDSM1402_HEV.pdf Copied from page 141 "Battery Charge Control Module Functional Check Operation: DTCs P0D59 - Proximity Detection Circuit High.

"Laurel Posted 28 December 2013 - 10:46 PM Our idle seems a little rough too since we got the upgrades for FE in October. I sure noticed this when we accelerated onto the freeways. I used to describe our C-Max as rocket propelled. Can't use that term any longer. Acceleration was totally adequate, but no longer that very smooth rocket like behaviour with a bit of a roar. I am not at all impressed with the upgrades as we had a better car before they mucked around with things. Hubby and I are both peeved with Ford over what they did. I know some would advice us to head back to the dealership, but that isn't going to happen as we have no faith in them to make things better and not worse than they are. I am thinking we will hang onto our C-Max for another year and then trade her in on something else. Bummer for sure." Interesting about you idle and acceleration, our cmax reacted just the opposite after the FE update. I was never impressed with the acceleration till after the upgrade. Before the upgrade I was hohum when people would brag about their cmax performance, after was an AhHa moment! Have you ever taken your car to another dealer? Almost sounds like a re-do might make things better??? wab

Not rotating your tires is the best way to figure out that you need an alignment. AT LEAST it was for a friend. He missed his first rotation on his new civic, came back from a long vacation with 2 wore out tires. They tried to deny warranty (because he hadn’t rotated which would have moved the wearing tires to the front) till he found a TSB about some (his) civics needing some rear suspension parts replaced, he got new tires, new parts and a 4 wheel alignment. Which brings me to our cmax, IT DEFINITELY needs a front end alignment.

Why wont your insurance cover it, you had a wreck in icy conditions? Don't mess with the steering wheel, UNLESS you know how to disable the airbag! Find a good front end alignment shop and have them check it, you might only need an alignment... but I doubt it. Sounds like something bent. Your tire/s will start showing unusual wear soon. Good luck wab

I’ve had our front bumper off and there is only one tank and the front and rear share the same fluid pick-up. Have you added any fluid? If your rear sprayer is still working you may have a problem??? and probably need a visit to your dealer. If you’re sitting still and use your front spray does fluid run out from under the car, probably on the passenger side? wab

Anybody remember this thread? "Mystery Black Plastic Thing in Console" http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/1553-mystery-black-plastic-thing-in-console/?hl=mystery Make-Ready probably doesn't know how to mount the "cargo management system" or even what it is, so they just put it in the pile of stuff they always have laying around. wab

Thanks for the real world info. I've been thinking about one, but on our multiple summer trips across w tx and nm we get no fm and poor am for A LOT of miles. Shark Fin just moved up on my wish list, plus it looks a lot like a gas pod. wab

pjurek99 It’s really a shame about your car. A few decades ago Rumor said that cars built on Monday and Friday were more likely to have problems. Here’s the way I heard the rumor. Monday: A noticeable % of regular assembly workers wouldn’t come to work. Their positions were filled by inexperienced workers =’ed a lot of bad cars Tuesday: Almost everyone came to work =”ed most cars were ok Wednesday: Everybody came to work =’ed all cars OK Thursday: “I really hate my job, if I see one more left door window &%#. Friday: “I only came to work to get my pay check, I’m leaving early and I’m not doing anything tell then!” Our car was built on a Tuesday, it’s had a couple of problems. wab

Dan O. Take a look at these, they might have more info. HOPEFULLY :thumbsup: 13B12 is the fix for the SE dead battery problem! http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/3314-customer-satisfaction-program-13b12-12-volt-battery-problems/ http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/3291-13b12-check-battery-and-reprogram-the-front-controldisplay-interface-module-fcdim/ wab

Jus Glad you’re getting back to “normal”! A friend (rear-ended) thinks it would be a good idea if you do not take your driver to the range the first time + he says you probably should look for a par 3 for your first outing. wab

Fixed hope Jus-A-CMax has better luck They only had to paint 3 times...took 3 weeks. They ordered a bumper, painted it and called telling me to bring the car, then they told me they should have waited on the car. Repainted and they still didn't like it + "tri coat" + "tri coat" ='s too many coats. SO They ordered another bumper.

JAZ "wab, not much difference with what I experienced, mpg-wise. However, when I filled up (3 times) the pump said I used about 10% more fuel than the dash readout. How about you?" Yes NOT new to us, the last 3 cars (1 a non Ford) have reported better MPG than what I hand calculate. AND I hand calculate EVERY tank AND almost never buy at the same station 2 times in a row AND almost never use the same pump at my 4 favorite stations. wab

Greetings and Welcome You’re in good company there have been several “FIX’s. Some (???) seem to have worked. Also several Ford buy backs. Have you had your’s worked (how many times) on? There’s a POLL in this thread. http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/1294-for-those-who-have-had-12v-battery-problems/ Here’s the BIG thread, it seems that there are more than 1 cause of the dead battery. http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/361-battery-dead/ Good luck and hope you’re one of the lucky ones who gets there cmax fixed wab

Remember when almost 40 mpg was just a dream! 389 miles in 7 hours @ 78+ mph in Aug./W TX/ NM and we stopped for lunch. wab

stranger267 “#1 was by hitting the brick, #2 and #3 was just 'flat rire, no one was able to find a reason after we used mobility kit, which actually helped'. You might want to have your rims checked, we cracked a rim on our MKX, didn’t damage the tire. Repaired at NTB for $250. wab

timber725 Take a look at this thread for help working on your fog light. It has a picture of the cover under the motor, post # 6. http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/547-oil-changes/ The fog light is fairly easy to access when you remove this cover. wab

Ours didn't come on till 10,1##. wab

obob Check amazon for a Dual-Boot micro SD. They’re not as intimidating (or dangerous) as ROOTing your new nook. Plus you get an SD for your nook. Here’s one. http://www.amazon.com/AndroidForNook-AFN-Products-LLC-Dual-Boot/dp/B00AT72SX6/ref=pd_cp_pc_0 IF you order, be careful what you order, HD+ NOT color, etc. They offer bootable sd’c I don’t think these are dual-boot.

Laurel, Posted Today, 12:46 PM Our voice recognition was great until we had the upgrade to 3.6.2 and then it couldn't recognize anything. Hubby did the re-set and it is back to being pretty good. But voice recognition seems to have real trouble with certain accents and if you speak softly. It does better if I sound stern and enunciation very crisply like a drill sargeant LOL. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ AH HA so if I talk to (what is her name?) the sync system like my wife commands me she’ll do what I ask say. wab

“howie411, Posted 09 December 2013 - 06:13 PM Did you ever get a fix/answer on this? We just got a C-MAX SEL yesterday and her regular radio is way messed up. Channels don't show correctly, can't change the channels with the steering wheel buttons. Right screen on dash says radio off. Tried a master reset and made sure MyFord Sync is up to date. Tried a master reset but no go. We just dropped a 1 day old car off at the dealership for them to look at it. Pisses me off.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We didn’t even make it off the lot a few years ago in a new less than a dozen miles SOB. It’s a shame that most make ready employees are a perfect example of the “Peter Principle” Your dealer probably has a check off list and you would think the radio/sync would be close to the top. wab

Your the second person to report bad looking oil coming out of a brand new motor. Was the 600 miles total car miles or ICE miles? I changed our oil at about 1K on the motor 1700 total miles, it was clear and looked new. wab
