  1. Dear friends, I am new to this forum and I have a question related to this topic. I loved my 2013 C max SE and put 97000 miles on; it ran ~43 MPG (in Rochester, NY, where is gets cold in winter). Because of lower door edge rust on the 2013, I have just traded it in (via Carvana) on a 2016 SEL with 22000 miles. This is a very nice car, too...however, compared to my 2013, this car seems to have some 'drag' on it . By that I mean that when I disengage the cruise control, or when I take my foot off the gas, I sense that the car does not roll or coast as freely as my 2013 did...and the MPG is running about 36-7 with the same fastidious C max owner's driving habits. It is like the car is in low gear or that the hand brake is on (not as bad as either of those, but the restricted coasting sensation that I get is along those lines but milder). No funny noises or smells. Any ideas, folks? Carvana includes a 100 day/4100 mile limited warranty, so I could probably have a dealer check this. Also, I would appreciate any suggestions getting the built-in garage door opener to work. When I go through the owner's manual (training your opener) instructions, the red light lights but never did I get my opener to work from the built-in (though I successfully stopped my wife's controller from working and had to reprogram her handheld...any suggestions? Thanks very much in advance. Jerry Svoboda, Rochester, NY
  2. Dear friends, I just acquired a 2016 C-max SEL with Autowipers (has the capital A showing on the windshield picture on the right hand stalk). This feature seems to be working OK. However, the last sentence on page 71 of the 2016 owner's manual says: You can change the autowipers feature to intermittent wipers through the information display. Then at the top of page 72, it says: Check your wiper function in the information display. See General Information (page 93). The autowipers feature functions only when you select the menu choice in the information display and you move the wiper lever up to the first position. The autowipers feature then remains on in the information display menu until you change it to intermittent wipe. For the life of me, I cannot find this selection in the car's information display. Neither can I find (in the General Information section on pages 93-100) in the exploded menus of the manual any reference to the autowiper/intermittent wiper toggle...can anyone help? Thanks:) Jerry Svoboda, Rochester, NY
