Hi Lacienega, hm... you got me. I just assumed that closing the windows would work in the same manner... but it does indeed not. Which is somehow crazy, it would be way more useful to close all windows from the outside than the opposite. Sorry about that, I only tested opening them ?

Hi! Thanks for all your help again. Just to give you a follow up, the used car dealer looked into it and could not find any hardware-issue. They did a 'complete reset' of the software (whatever that means) and since then it's working perfectly. There are also a bunch of things which were not working or somehow turned off before that software reset, which I did not know of ... for example when I press the lock button twice now there is an acoustic horn signal which was not there before. I also now can open and close the windows with the keys... who knows what else happend ? Thanks!

Hi! Thanks so much for your help. I have read out the errors with Forscan and found: Code B112B - Steering Wheel Module The Internet tells me: Communication Number: ASI-32314, Date: 2013-11-13 Category: 114000 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING Summary: FORD: THE CRUISE CONTROL, ON SOME VEHICLES, MAY BE INOPERATIVE DUE TO STEERING WHEEL WIRING HARNESS WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) B112B.07. MODELS 2012-2013 FOCUS, ESCAPE. *PE Is there anything I can do? Or should I let my Dealer handle that?

Hi there, I recently bought a used 2013 C-MAX SEL. The cruise control button was working initially, but over the last week it worked only around 30% of the time I started the car. If it works after starting, it will work the whole time. If it does not, it will not work for the whole drive. Any idea what the issue might be? Thanks so much and have a nice day, JP

I checked the Carfax Report and found an entry: Nov 2013: Engine/powertrain computer/module reprogrammed. PCM reprogrammed. So I suppose the 13B07 was done. Should have checked that before opening a thread here, sorry! ? Thanks again, JP

Hi Plus 3 Golfer, thanks so much for your input!

I saw that some ppl talked about a gain in 2 mpg or similar. Maybe its too much of a hustle and money investment to get it upgraded. Thanks again for all the info you provided.

Hi C-Max community! I was driving a little 2006 Smart Car for my commute (40 km, 25 miles daily, mix of highway and city) until a short while ago and was quite happy with the performance and the mileage (4.3 l/100km or 55 mpg). We are expecting our first kid end of the year, so the Smart Car had to be replaced with a car with a second row of seats for the baby seat so we have some redundancy to our 'big car'. I initially did a lot of research and was undecided between a used Prius or a Nissan Leaf. We did a test drive with a Leaf and, while it was fun and there would have been plenty charging options at home/work, we did not like the trunk size (we also have a medium sized dog). A used Prius seemed very expensive even with a high km/mile count and we did not really like the interior. To cut a long story short, by chance we saw that our used car dealer hat a 2013 C-Max SEL with around 135k km/83k miles in very good condition. We did some research, did a test drive and bought it! I am driving now for around two weeks and I am also very happy with the mileage. When we bought it the life time summary stated 5.8 l/100km or 40.5 mpg. This was already quite convincing, but after a reset of the summary I am driving now at 5.2 l/100km or 45 mpg. I was reading that in the 2013 models there was a software issue which could impair the mileage negatively. Does Ford still offer to upgrade the software? How do I find out if the car was already upgraded? Can I read out the version somewhere? Or can I assume that with a mileage of 45 mpg the upgrade was done already because I would never get that good with the old software? If its the old software, can I expect a huge change in the mileage? Thanks so much for your help! JP Vancouver
