For me it would't be worth it even if you doubled the range to 20 miles. I would get an escape PHEV (39mile range) or an EV if you don't take frequent long trips. I did buy a Mach-E standard range EV last year after I sold my c-max.

It's normal for there to be more noise when the engine turns on vs running on the battery only. You can post a recording here of the noise if you think it's a problem.

8 miles seems a little low for 34k miles on the car. Maybe there is a problem with the battery pack. I would get it diagnosed before getting it replaced. Or just drive it as is, a new battery would not add a lot of value.

May be able to charge overnight at motel otherwise no worries.

Sounds about normal. My son has a 2016 c-max Energi with about 75k miles and he said he gets about 10 miles on the battery. Car should still get about 40mpg on long trips if you don't drive too fast. Will do better in the warmer weather. Winter is hard on hybrid & EV's.

here you go

Wouldn't think so unless lack of coolant killed the inverter and it shorted out the main battery. Is the inverter still functional?

Welcome, the forum is back alive!

You can I believe reset the Lifetime numbers. I think I did that when I first got my 2013 Hybrid.

Look here

Only issues I could come up with is your mpg's will go down some if you stick with the winter tires and wear out sooner. I found Costco has the best price when I replaced the oem Michelin's.

Look for an experienced mechanic that will troubleshoot the problem rather than just swap components to see if that will fix the problem. What codes showed up from the check engine light?

Is it one door or all doors. My driver door was having problems unlocking and I found a TSB to remove door handle and spray sealant on the inside of the door handle. Evidently water was getting in there and causing the problem. Doing that helped. My car was stored outside.

I just recalled this recall... Description of Recall: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013-2019 Escape, 2013-2018 C-Max, 2013-2016 Fusion, 2013-2021 Transit Connect, and 2015-2018 Edge vehicles. The bushing that attaches the shifter cable to the transmission may degrade or detach.

Before changing the sensors I would take an old toothbrush and clean them. I've heard they can get crud in the circular cracks that can cause them to be set off.
