Can you record the sound? Might help if someone else out there has suffered the same sounding thing.

That's sad. So many delays. Are you going to stick with the order?

Oh, and before you're gone for good from this site. How did procure the ST wheels, and grille for your car? I really like the grille, so much nicer than the overdone too chromey standard unit.

Great choice of replacement vehicle. And the hybrid version too! Let us know how you find the Pacifica. I'm sure there are some people on here who would like to know (like me). I really do wish there was a minivan option between C-Max and Pacifica/Sienna/Odyssey size available in the US, like the S-Max offered in Europe.

There were transmission problems that hit some (many?) C-Max models built before Oct 2015, so avoid those cars unless there's an extended 10 year warranty on them or you're willing to take the risk. I have a 2014 and the powertrain warranty expires in 2022. If you want Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you need a car with Sync 3, and that's only available in 2016+ model years.

Hahaha. Nice. If this was my area, I'd have to avoid my own street, and practically all the streets ?

Looks great. How's the ride and handling now that it's lower? And what tyres is it wearing?

I have an old pair of chopsticks I use to pick up leaf litter that collects there.

Yep, sorry, I meant to say I had flagged him, but got distracted by the kids.

Done!

I still have not successfully managed to change the turn signal bulb on my C-Max. After struggling for an hour, I managed to get the headlight assembly out, but I couldn't get the bulb unit out. With the sunlight fading, I had to call it quits and tried to get the headlight unit back in. After 30 minutes more struggling with that, I managed to get it all back to square one. Thankfully the car has indicators in the mirrors, otherwise I'd be mightily screwed.

Looking forward to stamp out spammers as they crop up!

I just had my oil change done. I was about 4 months late on it, and gave the local Ford dealership $50 for the effort because, well, I don't have a driveway.

Thanks for fixing this up!

Totally agree. Who owns this site?

I remember when I bought our C-Max in April 2020, this site was a great help to me. At the time the C-Max Owners Club forum was overrun by spam. They seem to have to fixed that problem now.

I didn't know this site was being supported by Ford. I always wondered who was running it.

Thanks Homestead. I've done that. Every time I come back, there's more. Was wondering if there were still any moderators around who can delete this stuff or figure out how to stop it (or lessen it).

Spam with a soft boiled egg in a noodle soup. Delicious. I only thought of this because this place is being overrun by the far less delicious spam ?

Great news!! I still live in fear that my 2014's transmission will go when my hybrid drivetrain warranty expires in early 2022.

For missing parts like those, go to a wreckers or do an online search. I used https://www.car-part.com/ to get a rolling cargo blind for my car, which was also missing on my 2014 SEL. Much cheaper than getting it new from Ford or a dealer.

Pretty poor reviews. The front seat problems seem quite bad. The C-Max is averaging between 4.4 and 4.7 on that site depending on the model year. Mind you the EcoSport (which is an absolute &S*D of a car) is also scoring around 4.5 on average....

That sounds like a fantastic roadtrip! So you and the missus slept in the car overnight? Got any pics of the C-Max during its long journey across America?

Congratulations! Has a kid or two moved out of home?

When I first got my C-Max I thought the inflator could only inflate and inject sealant, but after actually reading the manual ... yeah, the inflator works a normal tyre pump. It's a little noisy and the pressure meter is a little off, so I always double check the tyre pressure with a separate device.
