    Best case EV only 19-20 miles, with 100k miles something less than that. My son has 2016 energi c-max with 72000 miles , he can go about 16 miles on ev only. YMMV

    You can do a test drive when it is fully charged and see how far you can drive on battery only.

    Does California give you a tax credit for buying used plug-in cars?

    The hybrid battery gets recharged every time you drive it. Car switches back and forth between battery and gas engine depending how you are driving. Hybrid battery should last the life of the vehicle.

    What about the TPMS when moving tires. I guess the car needs to be reprogramed so it's looking at the correct tires.

    Holding the unlock button on the fob will roll down all the windows. Working near the car with the fob in your pocket you may have accidentally triggered this feature. Sync locking up can drain the battery, is sync working normally?

    I think you could try cleaning the contact and then filling the holes with solder.

    My son had 2016 Energi with similar errors, they never came back.

    Also would be nice if we knew what the real failure rate is for each year.

    So does this mean that 2016-2018 trans are starting to fail too?

    Is the 12V battery fully charged? Checking any electrical connections that you removed/replaced for bent pins or pushed in pins and not making contact.

    This shows Escape/C-max center console cover

    Should read about 12.5v or so. Try charging the 12v battery and see if the car will start. When the 12v battery was replaced did they reset the BMS?
  14. homestead
    What voltage does the 12V battery show? If you just replaced the 12v battery maybe the real problem was it was not being charged by the high voltage battery. (DC-DC converter)

    I could be wrong but Yeah I think it is just related to how long since the BMS has been reset. Always seems to be 10 minutes right after resetting. Its been about 5 years since mine has been reset and I think it only runs a couple minutes now.

    k8thy678, sorry to hear that. What year and how many miles did your car have on it? Some folks found used transmissions and had them replaced apart from a Ford dealer to save the replacement costs.
  17. homestead
    After resetting the BMS you can turn on the radio then turn off the car and the radio should continue to run for 10 minutes. Over time (months) the 10 minutes time after turning off the car will slowly get less and less.

    WOW! Hope nothing was damaged. I would guess, take a look at the coolant thermostat. If that was stuck shut such that the coolant couldn't circulate maybe the pressure could built up.

    Mine has gone down in mpg's too but I suspect it because the weather is warmer and the A/C is eating up some of mpg's. Does the best in spring and fall when neither the A/C or heater are running.

    Test the brake, turn signals and backup and running lights to get a better idea of what is working and what is not. May just be a bad bulb on one side.

    Hybrid only goes a couple miles on ev so the benefits would be minimal. This is a joke, you could put the front wheels on an electric Dynamometer and press the brakes to charge the hybrid battery.?
  23. homestead
    Welcome, How many miles on your C-max?
  24. homestead
    Maybe they changed it. This shows 44PSI as the max.
  25. homestead
    What tires are you running with 50psi? I thought the highest psi for the Michelin Energy Saver is 44psi. Extended high speed above the maximum could trigger a high speed blowout.
