We took delivery of our new c-max Thursday. After reading this forum for weeks before delivery I was sure we were in for a world of hurt. I was sure our older version of MFT would direct me to drive into the middle of Candlewood lake (that is if it worked at all). I thought I would have to rescue my wife from dead batteries. And we would most likely have to replace TPM sensors after having to fill a flat tire with goo. But no, everything with our new c-max (white SEL with 302a) has been fine. My wife loves it and brags about how many leaves she has earned (She likes the leaves.) Even the much miligned MFT has been ok with the little triangle staying on the road with us. I am not al all trying to minimize the problems reported here. Those people with c-max problems deserve solutions - and FAST- from Ford, but I realized the the folks here do not represent a good sample of all c-max owners. Those with problem are going to be attracted to this forum to look for solutions and share their experiences. Those who are having no problems are have no incentive to find us, so reading many of the problem threads here will lead you to the wrong impression of the c-max, If all c-max owners were having all these problems, it would not be selling as well as it is. As far as MPG goes. Last night I drove from our garden shop to our local diner for dinner. I got 134mpg! Ok, OK, it was only 2miles and all down hill, but it was still a fun number to see on the dash. So keep anticipating the arrival of your new C-max, when it arrives your going to love it!
