Anyone think a Poll for people who have NOT had 12V problems would be helpful/informative/interesting? :detective:

Greetings Burgmandan Sorry to hear about your dead cmax, lots of good helpful people on here with a lots of knowledge. I don't remember very many orange triangle, yellow wrench, dead cmax posts, maybe 1. I searched but can't find it. There are A few orange triangles. Several yellow wrenches, usually the cap less gas filler. Lots of dead cmaxes, almost all 12volt related. anyway welcome and keep us updated, sounds like you have a unique cmax PLUS it's the best color. wab

There are a few people on here that do light towing, most use the hitch for hauling bicycles etc. If I get a different motorcycle I might (maybe) pull it to Colorado next yr. Here's what you have to worry about. frm the owners manual, your pg # may be different "Towing pg. 243 WARNING: Never tow a trailer with this vehicle. Your vehicle is not equipped to tow. No towing packages are available through an authorized dealer." Depending on your state laws you could have a problem if you have an accident.

I was wonder the same thing. I don't think it's a 2014, they arn't going to start building them till Dec, or have they sent a few out for reviews? If it is a 2014 then the PODs are really starting to look promising.

proofread, PROofread, PROOFREAD how many times have I said that to co-workers "of the wife's car" you got me :worship:

"on a tripod out the window" Is there a way to get good video out the back or any window? Sticking something out a window will effect the air flow, = not a good test.

mbedit and frbill have had their lemon's bought back, maybe they can share their experiences. Send them a PM, they both visit the forum. Both were SE's

"Ford saying a usb thumb drive is killing the car." Is this new? We haven't had any battery issues on our sel, and we do leave the USB plugged in all the time.

This is really going to be interesting this winter with the colder air and 13B07.

I know there is no longer anything like a simple line of code. But how hard would to be to insert a line that says something like If wiper wipes more than 1 time within 5 (4?3?) minutes TURN headlight on, if wiper does not wipe more than 1 time within 5 minutes turn headlight off. OK programmers get to programing and submit it to Ford.

And now for something completely different. "Even some cars made in Korea, let alone cars made in Japan" Any of you kids remember the first Honda car that came to the US? 450CC's of air cooled motorcycle power! wow We called all of the first cars from Japan "one way cars" you always saw them going OUT of town never coming to town. The big 3 weren't worried AT ALL about Japanese cars :lol: For the past 30+ years it's been the Koreans turn, you can bet the big 3 and the Japanese :worship: WERE worried! AND NOW it's China and India's turn... Anyone think the Big 3, Japan and Korea are worried? Wouldn't it be great if your car was the car that Ford has been looking for. WOW :thumbsup:

3 or 4 years ago we had an individual banned from the Edge/MKX forum, he came back under a new name BANNED again for physical threats (meet me at the corner of... and I'll...) the 3rd time he was a LOT quieter when the sponsor he was bashing mentioned legal action he finally quit visiting. I used the "Manage Ignore Prefs" option under my user ID a couple of weeks ago. Only one problem, when someone uses the "Quote" option I still get to read the offending posts. Is there any way to block these? wab

GOOD & Bad stuff, probably a life saver for me :worship:

"Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant drug." Side effects..... When I'm taking it I don't need an electric drill... jiiiitterrr, hard to tyujpe etc.

I've had ours off (both of them) several times. It just pops off. FYI: If you're working on the tail light DON'T :sad: drop the long plastic nut that holds it in place, there are 2. Dadgum Prednisone :kookie:

Similar to what happened to us. We fought with the dueling thermostats (the passenger temperature changes to the driver's temp a few seconds after each start) for the first few months of ownership. Then by accident we discover what turned out to be a glitch in the system. One night I left MFT displaying the environment screen with the thermostats set to two different temperatures. The next morning they didn't revert to the driver's temp... hhmmm maybe we're just getting in the habit of setting the thermostats EVER time we start the car. Paid attention the next start :yahoo: it works! Then a few months later the update, glitch found and fixed. Now within seconds of EVERY start the passenger temperature changes to the driver's temp setting and THAT'S the way it's designed AND will not be changed! :nonono:

I have several gripes about the climate control. It's Automatic It's also Dual Zone BUT it is not Automatic Dual Zone :drop: Our last 2 Fords had set it and forget it, now every time we get in one of us has to adjust the temp knob, UNLESS it's the driver then the passenger has to adjust their knob. :confused:

"They are designed to stay intact upon impact and absorb the crash forces." That's what I meant to say. "The other side says wonder if the hood is part of the crumple zone, might come though the windshield." It might defeat the crumple zone or break the hinges and cut the A pillars...I doubt it's that strong??? Somewhere there has to be info about this happening, too many CIVIC's running around with CF hoods. googling... wab

This is MY FAVORITE YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2Bv9WL3vpY

Shop around, you should be able to beat your dealers price by a BIG%. Check the internet, here's a google search. https://www.google.com/search?as_q=&as_epq=ford+extended+warranty&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=&as_occt=any&safe=images&tbs=&as_filetype=&as_rights= I got a quote from a Ford dealer in Florida, just before our regular warranty ran out. Ford ESP, NOT one of those cheaper dealer only plans. Printed it, took it to my dealer and asked if they could meet or beat it. He came back $20 higher... I took it and got at least 1/2 back when we bought the cmax. Take a look at this one, I picked it because it was close to the top of pg1. We didn't pay nearly this much in 2010 for a nicely loaded 08 MKX because we waited till the warranty was almost over.

Will a prius chip the tires?

One side of my brain says stronger therefore safer. The other side says wonder if the hood is part of the crumple zone, might come though the windshield. PLEASE NoBODY mention this to an insurance co! They already want us in generic boxes all painted the same color, NO MORE RED CARS!!!

Our dealer didn't reset after our free change. The "Change Engine Oil Soon" message came on at 10,000 miles during one of our 675 mile trips, I reset at the next stop. The car had been a little over 3088 miles since the free change. The "reset in progress" did display both times I've done a reset, I didn't reset the first time I changed the oil. wab

I do that a lot in west tx. never noticed any difference from any other car. Maybe a trip to the dealer for a demo ride with the service writer.
