I'm considering buying a 2013 C-Max Hybrid with only 55K miles, but I know these cars have trans failures. After reading this thread, it appears that there's still disagreement on the Ford Warranty on this problem. I see the brochure quotes 5 years / 60k miles on the Powertrain (includes transmission). The 8-yr/100K warranty is on Hybrid commonents (not trans IMO), and still others are siting a CARB warranty of up to 150K, but CARB is the Cal. Air Resources Board, which governs warranties on emmisions parts (I live in California). Did anyone ever ask Ford and/or find out what the real deal is? These cars look superior to the Prius hybrids to me, but I don't want to buy a ticking $5K bomb either! ?
