Hello All- I have 2 Cmax energis a 2015 and a 2016.
My son had a fender bender driving my wifes car, the 2015. The damage was mostly under the front, under the radiator- MINOR LOOKING
Dealer estimate is 8k insurance says it exceeds 75 ration so they will not fix- (buggers).
I have purchased the damaged (totaled? ) vehicle and had it dropped back off at my house - I am sure I can make all needed repairs with some effort. I am mostly worried about the car being electronically locked by the dealer/ ford. I cannot get it to respond at all yet. NO dash , cant even open the trunk to see if battery is disconnected.
It was drivable after the accident, now after the dealership it is a dead brick. Can I overcome the software issues or will I be fighting ford trying to keep this beautiful little car off the road this all the way?
