  1. I left ours open at least a couple of hours, didn't close. But I was working on the tail lights so maybe it knew I was there??? I was working on the front and must have pushed the button X2 in my pocket OUCH the garage door was closed. One of my neighbors sets his alarm off ALL THE TIME.
  2. Here's our 1/14/13 build date. There really should not be any water in there. Lots of stuff in there that does not like water! wab
  3. One possibility for your sudden MPG improvement and "Stop Safely Now warning" is you ICE may be running too lean (burning holes in pistons).
  4. Ford may want $800+ PER wheel on our C-Max, they do for the Edge/MKX wheels.
  5. But just think how much better you c-max would look. I was really surprised that Ford doesn't offer a shinny wheel option.
  6. Three holes (on the bottom of the hatch) outside two are covered. No water. Water in there doesn't sound good, needs checking.
  7. I've been afraid to say anything. :rockon: Good??? handling is supposed to be one of the cmax strong points. The Prius must be REALLY REALLY bad!
  8. A couple of yrs ago I bought some pretty (heavy) wheels. My butt dyno couldn't tell any difference in acceleration but I could no longer chirp the tires. I could DEFINITELY tell a difference in the ride and handling my kidneys still hurt. I could also fell a DIFFERENCE at the pump...1 to 1.5 mpg less...ouch. The argument that lighter wheels will take A LONG time to pay for themselves is like saying it's going to take A LONG time to pay for that hybrid. Tire Rack shows some 25 lb LRR tires.

    Do you just need keyed 12v? If so you should find some in the over head console, the Vanity Mirrors have 12v but it's not keyed.
  10. I think they issue the service writers and salesman special shoes.
  11. X2 18K miles no battery problems. A few yrs ago the parking pawl was the diameter of a pencil. Today they're a little bigger on some cars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_pawl
  12. You'll find that "Dual automatic temperature control (DATC) .........................148" is rarely on. As a matter of fact it will never be on unless you turn it on EVERY time you start the car. wab
  13. Test probably came back BETTER than 47... Now they are really embarrassed. OR they haven't been able to get any REAL gas :hysterical: wab
  14. Retired, then you must remember the dark ages of dumb terminals. Guess what I'm holding...right NOW. A WYSE Rx0L (no processor). And if I squint at "the cloud" I see a Mainframe in the sky. Back to the WYSE...it was manufactured in 2011. wab
  15. Which brings up a question. Why can't you write some software that will TEST each and every possible thing or combination of things the updated/new software is supposed to do? wab
  16. Our build date is 01/14/2013 BUT I can't get a vehicle report because my phone thinks it's still in Colorado, for 2 years. Is their another way to get the software version? We've had zero GPS,SYNC,CLOCK,MFT or BATTERY problems @ 1800 miles. I can't kick the hatch or lock the doors, wife can??? wab
  17. 3. " If measuring inside" leave the hood up at night to take the measurment at the "jumping connections under the hood."
  18. Looks heavy. Hopefully it's a Roadmaster "Hidden" bracket. Here some pictures of our Blue Ox wab
  19. I've never liked dead pedals, this one is REALLY bad.
  20. GOOD ADVICE! :hi5: Our cup-holder divider and keys lay on my desk for 3 days "till I had time" to install them.

    Dash cleaner

    After you did the dash have you noticed a glare? I had to make sure on our last Ford at the car wash to TELL them to NOT treat the dash, caused a terrible glare!

  23. Interesting....if the price doesn't go UP every yr. FYI, before your regular Ford warranty runs out you can get "Ford ESP" online for MUCH less than your dealer will sell it. In 2010 I got an online quote took it to our dealer asked him to meet or beat it, he was $20 higher told him to write it up.
