time is not my friend during the day, I work a 1:30 PM to 9:30 PM patrol so I budget daytime hours carefully, will call dealer and see if they know for sure

It was enough to send out a snail mail notification, that is justification enough for me. Wonder how long it takes to install

mine works on and off, right now it is working but will take care in for the recall just to get it off the list. Better safe then sorry

Ford C-max least reliable car in America (Says CR)
Wingrider01 replied to Seth7721's topic in Lounge: Off-Topic
key word "subscribers" - NOT subscribers that actually own the product in question. Would not trust anything that that rag has published, many years back when I did trust them they reported the car seat I paid a lot of money for when my daughter needed one failed all the tests, not withstanding that the NHSTA passed it with flying colors, I trusted them and got rid of it - a month latter it was reported in the news that CR used the wrong testing requirements for the seats and they withdrew the article. A CR report and "survey" is only good for one thing - lining the bottom a bird cage - if the bird agrees -
Headlights Auto on.....Auto Light Rain?

Level of tint is easy - 0 for the front windshield below 3 inches from the top, 35 percent on the front 2 windows, any darkness on the back windows and doors here, but there are 49 other laws to pay attention to, the is no law in and of the states the US that requires DRL so the choice is up to the manufacturer unless the car is sold or shipped to Canada which does require DRL -

I realize exactly what you are saying, if you reread my replay I state that I understand it and it is exactly what I stated, the problem is, to utilize this functionality in 27 states and it is a moving violation - that is the issue, wipers are continuously moving as if they where on low or high by law in 27 states that headlights are required to be on. a caveat to this little blurb of information is to state that utilized the option will violate traffic laws in your state. Lets be honest - 99.9 percent of new car owners never open the owners manual. With the exception of this feature everything else fits within the traffic code. -

explain in detail, don't do TLA's unless they are a numeric call code. The headlights do not come on when the wipers are set for auto sense, which is illegal and considered a moving violation in 27 states and punishable by a fine and in some cases a class B misdemeanor unless an accident occurs then it is class A -

they made their first impression on me back in 1972, it has not changed so I still drive the brand, both personally and for work -

Been driving and leasing fords since 1972, I may whine about the unfulfilled promises on the c-max but I will never desert ford for a lot of reasons, the primary one being they never took the dole bailout but stood on their own. I respect that and if I actually got rid of my c-max it would be for another ford, I won;t let the department car go since it is currently a ford and the replacement is a chevy. I don;t do foreign SDT's no matter what. they can pry my ford from my cold dead hands. -
true they make some noise, but when they sound like a weed whacker that can be head in the cabin of the car and by the people in the car next to you there is an issue. Took it into the dealer, dealer fork lifted the A/C per tech, replaced and no noise anymore

Nice they are fixing the hacks for the 5S and 5C and ignoring that 2 of the 3 hacks also affect every other iphone that got updated with that upgrade. Glad I only updated the Ipad and left my phone on 6, the one that I have all my banking and financial apps
