We'll be waiting a few weeks for the 3.5.1. SEEN way to many software updates (telecommunications from Canada :rockon: ) that created MANY more problems than fixes! But we do appreciate all you early :worship: 3.5 adopters.

Is it part of the Europen pedestrian safety program? pedestrian hood :hysterical: pedestrian airbag :hysterical: :hysterical: maybe pedestrian Active City Stop :drop:

I think the days of best MPG@ 55 MPH or less are now a urban myth. Our last 2 cars had 6 speed automatics, they didn't shift into 6th until 55-60 the MPG would increase after that till about 70 then start down. We had a 05 F250 diesel automatic, it would shift into high at 62, the MPG would climb to 21.

Both the charge > discharge < arrows disappear at times, maybe with a lot of effort you could perfect the technique to keep them off. Or my eyes/brain may just be playing tricks :confused: , taking a snapshot of the missing arrows and I think they're gone for a while?

Maybe your system is getting ready to crash and re-boot. Our Entertainment quite (voice commands worked) nav was lost, for 3 days. Then about 10 minutes in to a drive the, black screen of death, a few minutes later ALL was well.

We did... Traded a GM product after 11 wonderful months, took a beating on it...... WELL WORTH IT for that POS to be out of our lives! :happy feet:

"Checked the odometer with mile posts for 3 ten mile sections and all indicated about 2% slow." slow or low, speedometer or odometer? Your speedometer should be fast your odometer should be RIGHT. Cruise control (not eco cruise) set at 60 will not = 10 miles traveled in 10 minutes. Your odometer reading divided by gallons pumped ='s your actual MPG which will not be what the car says.

I use aCar Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zonewalker.acar&hl=en the free version. It's directed at the CO. provide vehicle or someone using their personal vehicle for co. business. It does everything I need plus a LOT that I don't need. Not sure it will remain my favorite, I'm still looking.

Honda lost a class action a few yrs. ago because their odometers were adding miles = better MPG. My friend had a few miles added to his warranty. Note to self: Tell Don he never got 42 MPG. Your car was re-calibrated when it went in for service after the class action.

I just had the front off of ours, there is only 1 tank with two hoses. 1 to the hood the other up the A pillar to the back. madmax either has the lemon of LEMONS or... :baby: or :cry: or (what do fishermen have on the front of the boat)

"It sure beats flooring it to the next bumper in front of you, slamming on the brakes," I used to wonder about that. Then one day I was riding with a co-worker. When I grabbed the dash she looked over and said "what?" I did my best fish imitation, thought about it and asked "how many of those white stripes are you looking ahead?" She did her best fish imitation drove on for a while and said " 2 or 3 NO 4 maybe." I told her to try 6 or 7 for a while then try to look as far ahead as she could. A few weeks later I rode with her again, WHAT :) a change, she was SO much better. to keep this = for men and women, I had a Dodge 3500 dually slide right up beside me on the left shoulder at 30 MPH after a hard slowdown from 70... TWICE, I gave him the left lane, and the middle one!

spyburn Check your Powerball ticket. Somebody bought a PB ticket at the Quick Pantry (all #'s but the PB) worth 1 million. HOPE it was you

2 dead USB's in one week. I see a new conspiracy theory brewing. :nonono:

Greetings K-Max and welcome Sorry about your battery, dead batteries on SEL's are rare. Did you see the other thread "For those who have had 12v Battery problems?" It's another thread with valuable info plus it has a POLL, you'll be the 5th SEL to report a battery problem. http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/1294-for-those-who-have-had-12v-battery-problems/?mode=show Thanks GOOD LUCK and Welcome

It definitely could be a fuse, second thing to check. BUT if it is just a fuse BE SURE to ask yourself "what did I plug into that USB port that caused the fuse operate?"

A black max in Texas. ;)

Could we get all the battery problem threads combined into 1? Maybe add them to the POLL thread started by zhackwyatt. http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/1294-for-those-who-have-had-12v-battery-problems/?hl=poll Here are the ones I've found, they're interesting to read but don't seem to be relevant to most SEL drivers. http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/361-battery-dead/ http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/528-dead-12v-battery-in-my-c-max/page-4?hl=battery&do=findComment&comment=17750 http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/531-dead-battery/?hl=battery&do=findComment&comment=18727 http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/813-dead-battery-roll-call/?hl=battery http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/1867-tsb-13-5-1-hybrid-and-energi-12volt-battery-unable-to-hold-charge-charging-improvements/?hl=battery http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/1889-i-got-my-c-max-serviced-for-the-battery-problem-today/?hl=battery http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/1921-dead-12-volt-water-in-electrical-connectors/ Thanks wab

"Tow truck said it is the 6th c-max with same issue he has towed" I would think that 6 C-Maxes (even SEL's) in range of a single tow truck would make for ONE VERY HAPPY :happy feet: dealer.

"oh ok very cool. glad it does have that feature. at least you have a choice.sometime all 3 are the same route/result." "does the eco route look for more of those 35-45 mph roads? or what have you noticed different?" I've wondered about that myself. Here in Ft. Worth all light are red :rant2: so we spend almost as much time sitting (LUV THIS cmax ) as moving. SO normal cars burn almost/more :rant: gas off the freeway as on. "what service does the cmax use for traffic and map/nav routing? by "A3 card" I assume you mean nav update SD card version?" The source for map info/updates is mentioned in other threads??? Wonder what word/term we would search for? The A3 is the OLD nav card.

"and if they adjust the mpg numbers any." They can't change the EPA mandated 47/47/47. When the Prius came out the EPA had to fix their flawed method for establishing MPG. EVERY car sold in the US got a new EPA MPG. I bet they're scrambling to get their AGAIN FLAWED method fixed! Wonder what genius thought 62 MPH was even close to real world highway speed?

Sounds like our driving styles may be similar. We have a few 500+ one way 75 to 80MPH trips planed this yr., I was hoping for high 30's. We're at 3500 miles with a life time average of 39.8 But the last couple of tanks have been 41.? and now 42.7 @ 200 on this tank. You should look for another 1MPG+ improvement in the next 1K miles, and more for the next several K. Our car has a little over 1400 EV miles on it which means the gas only has a little over 1600 on it, not fully broken in.

salsaguy We have a born on date of 1/14/13. We're still on the A3 card. Here are some pictures of our nav. We can set Fastest Blue or Shortest Red or Eco Route Green by touching the blue, red or green spots. or on the bottom bar touch Route Prefs
