Sorry :salute: I choose NONE of the above, except for braking. BUT then I've always braked that way, always see mid to high 90's (usually 98) some 100's. It really upsets me when people wave at me with "that" finger. I reset life time mpg at 1500, now at 1700+, mpg shows 40.2 :) .

Do any states tax bicycles?

Don't forget :rockon: that 10000 miles ON the odometer does not = 10000 miles on the gas engine, probably 7 to 8000 on the motor. Evidently there is an oil monitor we just can't see it. PG 129 "InformationDisplays" of the owners manual. Oil Change Required Displays when the engine oil life is depleted and requires a change. Change Engine Oil Soon Displays when the engine oil life requires a change soon. PG 281 of the owners manual shows how to reset it when you change your oil.

Looks like Ford has opened the door! http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/index.php?/topic/1430-ev-mode-in-non-plugin/ Post #4 thru 11.

"One other thing I found out...I can't leave the removable tow bar attached to the car because of the proximity sensor setting off the alarm chime. Oh well...it's ugly anyway!" Try turning the sensors off. If it works (on the front) you'll have to turn them off every time you start the car.

Welcome to the forum. Looks like that's the way they were designed, better than some worse than others.

SEL 303a build date1/14/13 1700miles :)

Ours was born on 1/14 but has had zero problems ;) . Except for the "DUAL :doh: MONO-ZONE ELECTRONIC AUTO CLIMATE CONTROL"

I think cars have personalities! They usually like me but not this one. The hatch and door lock work 99% ot the time for my wife and 1% of the time for me. We've exchanged fobs, same results. Our nav has worked perfectly???

I read somewhere that "Brake Buddy" systems don't work with hybrid cars. So I googled "brake Buddy" hybrid and got 101,000 hits. https://www.google.com/search?as_q=%22brake+buddy%22+hybrid&as_epq=&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= Then I went to the Brake Buddy web site, looks like their "Vantage Select™ Boost™" is OK for hybrids. http://www.brakebuddy.com/Products/BrakeBuddy-Vantage-Select-Boost I'm still looking. Currently looking at Unified Tow Brake TVH-1000K for motor coaches pre-wired and towed vehicles equipped with electric hydro-boost power brakes ???

Get a infrared thermometer. here's one for $36 at Harbor Freight. http://www.harborfreight.com/infrared-thermometer-with-laser-targeting-non-contact-69465.html After you drive a while, stop open the hood and test. If you find any heat then you know you have a problem. ab&jb

" My 2006 Honda Accord was spot" It's sad that it takes losing a "class action lawsuit to FORCE a co. to do the right thing.

"MAYBE NOT but you need to check ASAP!" When was your car made and where did it go after that? Chevy just donated 300 flooded NEW cars. http://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2013/Feb/0228-first-responders.html

Questions for the 7 to 10K first oil change side of the oil change debate. What if the oil in your C-Max looks like Hatchman's? Post #73 If the car is showing 600 then the ICE probably only has 400 on it...OUCH! When you buy a used car how soon do you change the oil? What if you bought a certified 2 yr old 92 BMW 325i and on the way home told your wife? "I think I'll put Mobil1 in this tomorrow." The next day you drain 14 quarts (BMW's hold 7), the certifier forgot to drain the oil before adding new...OUCH! :censored:

YEP They all do it and I do mean ALL. Our last few cars have reported MPG incorrectly, some of them were Fords.

I just changed our oil at 1500 miles. Looked like dark honey, NO other colors, or debris. You probably need to drain a little oil and send it for an exam. Blackstone Labs will do it for $25. http://www.blackstone-labs.com/free-test-kits.php It was beautiful under our motor and we have driven in the rain. Your car may have been underwater. A quick check inside the air filter may reveal more mud. MAYBE NOT but you need to check ASAP! Good luck wab

I'm using the Blue Ox base plate, should be here today. The online pdf shows less cutting, :waiting: we will see. Now I have to buy an adapter for our Roadmaster tow bar. Next will be the fuse/s to pull. I was hoping the 110 outlet would be hot while in acc mode, :cry: it isn't.

How often do you power down your phone? Ours was acting flaky, powered the phone off, back on, no problems since.

sccchhh :stirpot: that's a secret, probably why all the batteries keep going dead, just nobody (Ford) will admit it.

Bet you make use of the ABS feature A LOT. ;)

A friend has a newish (early 2012) Buick, with a similar problem. He had to take it back 3 times, they kept it a week the last time, he's not sure it's fixed.

When we had our MKX I would play with the tailgaters/drafters/sleepers/texters. Coming out of small west Texas towns I noticed that often we would have a car attached to our bumper (makes me very nervous :nonono: @ 60+ mph). I started setting the cruise at 65 (they luv it) then slowly bump the mph up 1 mph every couple of miles. Got several up to 80 :runaway: before they realized anything was happening. I always slow down to 65 hoping they will reattach. Got 1 up to 75 TWICE :doh:.

WOE I thought I was against ANY tax increase How can this be??? Republican Congressman Mike Kelly introduced H.R. 3768

YEP pretty old news We've been calling the Prius a brown car for a couple of yrs. wab

Tell your family the C-Max isn't really a USA car although it is now assembled here, Europe has had them for years. wab
