So I finally got the clock to work properly...changed to 24hr format, set the time and it displayed correctly. A few days later I changed back to 12 hr format and it is right.

I have had the same thing happen to me. It seems obvious to me that something is not disconnecting and keeping the system "awake" once you exit the vehicle. I like the idea of the EV+ continuing to monitor location that someone had and for me the "always" happens at home is spot-on. I'm thinking I will turn off EV+ mode and be sure to disable the bluetooth and unplug the iPod before I exit the vehicle. May or may not help but at least I'll feel proactive while Ford continues the search.

No navigation...but thanks for the suggestion!

Got my car back this afternoon. They did a couple of updates TSB 13-5-1 (12 volt battery unable to hold a charge), TSB 13-4-22 (Wrench Lamp with DTC P061A/U1011/P060C - Reduction in vehicle power), and TSB 13-6-22 (Hybrid/Energi - Check Engine and/or wrench lamp and various DTCS). On the clock not advancing (since I jumped it) - From the service tech to engineering: "Any known concerns for this problem tried unhooking the battery and setting clock multiple times and only the cluster changes and the radio display stays the same." Ford Engineering response - "Clock accuracy concerns are currently being investigated by engineering. Please continue to monitor OASIS for updates for this concern." But I left the lot with the clock not advancing. You can go through the set menu and when you hit enter nothing happens. On the dead battery - the tech asked Ford - Is there known concern for all these codes checked main 12V battery and it passes all test at this time. They gave me the printouts from the "Self Test" but it looks like gibberish to me. They are print screens for "Secondary OBD Control Module C" & "Body Control Module (BCM Module)" These are the codes: DTC Module B10D7:87 BCM B1287:11 BCM P0887:00 SOBDM-C P1934:87 BCM P1A10:00 BCM U0140:00 PSCM U3001:00 BECM U3003:13 PSCM U3003:16 BECM U3003:16 BCM Fords response was check for water in all the points that have been outlined in other posts + check the wiring harness in two spots to ensure no chaffing. They also said the vehicle is equipped with two Data Link Connectors..ensure customer does not / did not have a Snap Shot Device from their insurance company connected. tech says they checked all these items and did the updates and no codes present. Ford says release to customer. We will see.

Quick update...my car has been in the shop two days. Talked to the advisor this evening and he said they are talking with the Ford engineer trying to figure out what's wrong. They had them check for water in the connectors, wiring harness in a couple of different spots...all to no avail. When I got it to them it had "2 warnings" showing on the panel...He says the car is showing 10 codes on it right now. He also said that the TSB's outlined don't apply...not sure if that's because of the build date (3/21/13) or why exactly. He said they have checked the battery drain when off and it is fine, not discharging. It was strange, after I got it started the clock showed 7:34 and never advanced on the 30 minute drive to the dealer...I pointed it out but not sure what that was about. I called Donlen fleet to see if they kept a data base of company cars, wanted to advise them, but they said they didn't. With our company having what must be several thousand cars on the road and the new CMax being what they are going to it will be interesting to see what happens. I was on the front end of getting a CMax, others will as they move to their next vehicle. I will post as things progress.

Well I've been rocking along (last dead battery was mid-April) fine until yesterday...dead battery! Instead of having it towed again I connected the battery charger to the car and it started right up...although I got a "Starting System Failure" warning light when I cranked it. That light went out and I got a yellow wrench symbol that told me to see the manual. Anyway, I moved the car in the driveway and shut it down...It cranked up again right away. This morning dead battery. I guess I will call the roadside assistance and have them come out so it will be on record with Ford. If it starts (they can tow if not) I'll take back to the dealer (they had it a week last time) and see if they can figure out what's up. I'm thinking about ordering one of the gadgets off Amazon that you can plug into the 12V ports inside...that still seem to be working for people? I know this car is going to let me down when I am on the road...thankfully all events have happened in my driveway.

I'm not sure the cars built recently had the issue worked out...this was my post from another thread. Hello to all, thought I would share my experience with my C Max. This is my company car, about two weeks old with less than 1,000 miles on it. It's the 200A fairly basic model. The build date is 3/21/13. Last Friday I was heading home from Atlanta and connected with my wife who was visiting family (about 1 hour south of home) and followed her home. She called me on the way to tell me my headlights were weird...the driver side was much brighter than the passenger side. I said it must be the angle she was looking through the rear view mirror...she says I've look at thousands of lights and never seen any that look so funky. Saturday morning I ran a few errands and all was well...two hours later we come out to go to the store and its dead...the doors won't even unlock. I called ford roadside assistance and they offer to try and jump it...I say no way the battery is dead as i was just driving it, it has to be a circuit board or something. They tow it to the shop. Monday the dealer calls and says they drove it off the tow truck deck and they can't reproduce the incident. I'm out of town until Thursday so they agree to keep it and look further. Wednesday they call to say ford is aware of the issue and told them to check the battery...but it checks OK. I picked it up today but have zero confidence this vehicle is not going to leave me stranded somewhere.
