Hats off to C-max safety engineering: I failed to start my car 3 times after accidentally replacing my Weathertech floor mat. It was sitting on top of the accelerator and my size 13 foot was putting pressure on said accelerator. Car refused to "start" until I walked away with key. I finally got it started and noticed the acceleration. Brake held well, shifted to neutral and figured out my mistake.

It took 10 months, but I traded in the Cmax for a Prius. The NHTSA recall was the final straw. I find it interesting that Ford told dealers not to sell it or even demo it (saw the letter) but yet they haven't officially told all of those who carry their families in them everyday. And while I'm not saying it is a cover-up, I find it curious why the IIHS hasn't "tested" the Cmax yet but they did test the Fusion that came out AFTER the Cmax and they gave the Fusion a top safety pick. Surely the Cmax wont' get that or else there wouldn't be a recall out there. So I wish you all well and hope that the recall thing works out. The many many problems, the lack of 47/47/47, and the safety recall were all evidence that Ford isn't interested in my business, just interested in selling cars. In fact I ran into an owner of a Cmax that was my same color and such and they were going through the battery nightmare. Thankfully I never had that to deal with.
