RachelnLa Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 We hear the battery dead. Now let's hear from those who have not experienced battery failure. Give mileage too as it seems most times it hits 3000-4000 miles. Do you have the SE or the SEL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adair Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) How about adding build date, in case there's a commonality there? SEL, 303A pkg. 3,200 miles. Built Nov. 24, 2012. No battery problems. (And I hope I didn't just jinx myself.) Edited February 22, 2013 by Adair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBGrad Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 SEL, 7700+ miles, built in Sept.. Of course I probably just jinxed myself by posting in this thread. Adair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizM Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 SEL 300A, built Jan 4th. 2200+ Miles Clock/date issues. Dealer did master reset on Feb 12th - clock and date reset correctly. Came out this morning, Mar 4th and the clock was wrong said 3:44 PM and it was about 7:00 AM. Date read March 4th. Tried to reset the clock to correct time - now the date says March 3rd. No way to set the date individually. Driving me crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADCMAX Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) We got our Cmax Hybrid in September 2012, one of the first ones to roll off the line. Despite other problems (weather seals, broken rear washer hose, bouncing at idle, and annoying creaking sounds) we have thankfully not had any problems with the batteries. I'm not trying to put salt in the wound, but thought it would be helpful to know there are some that aren't plagued with this problem. P.S. - We have 12,000 miles on our Cmax Hybrid.

Noah Harbinger Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I suppose 4 days and 200 miles is a bit early to be touting any success? I will definitely start checking the voltage, maybe keep a daily log book of the voltage when I start and stop the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
