fbov Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Looking at the Wolverine site, I'm impressed by their install instructions. Clearly, this is not something you want to install during Winter unless you have an indoor garage with a lift... at least not in Rochester! I may add this to this Summer's car mods... (air dam done, door bumpers received, bumper cover "awaiting shipment" - I ordered a week ago!) Still considering side skirts, done the same as the air dam...

You are right installing heaters in nice weather, fortunately I have a garage. :) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowbar Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Wow. The C-Max has turned into an investment that pays dividends. Jus-A-CMax, ptjones and LizM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jus-A-CMax Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Wow. The C-Max has turned into an investment that pays dividends. Telling me, I was lucky to be involved in a number of surveys too which all adds up to some nice car payments - but unfortunately, one of them TRASHED my car thanks to a rear ender by a BMW driver arrested in a DUI. CMax is like new now but the owner is not so, not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtb9153 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Brother Jus, I saw a 2013 Platinum SEL running around the Silly corn Valley in the last day or so with Galpin license plate frames.

Did you see that Post I left for you in "The Bar?" Something special.....(if u haven't seen it already) Platinum SEL would be nice BUT I think they may overweight the CMax with more luxury stuff that you would not use. The SEL is pretty darn good as it is, IMveryHO. :) ptjones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

likeaw Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Got our check yesterday. $475, but still when I bought it in Feb 2013 they sure did not discount it much. My bad...I guess. My mileage here in DFW is about 39 but you have to drive fast, or get ran over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mileage here in DFW is about 39 but you have to drive fast, or get ran over. The main reason we get 39 (41 with a lot of effort) in the FW part of DFW is ALL lights are RED!.We don't use any gas setting at the RED lightbut use a significant amount accelerating to the NEXT RED light. hybridbear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudenHoggart Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Got our $475 check yesterday. It's in the bank already! This was our second rebate, so together they've paid for an extended warranty, which we got from the discount Ford dealer in Rhode Island recommended on this forum.

RobMax Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Interesting thread. Did some research and ETIS shows our just-purchased 2014 SE has a 5/3/2014 build date. Ford just lowered the ratings in early/mid June to 42/37/40, and we just bought ours on 8/15. I just discovered our window sticker still shows 45/40/43 city/hwy/combined MPG. Entering our car's info into the http://www.ford.com/mpglabel/ website shows we should be getting a $475.00 check by September 30th. Has anyone purchased as recently as me and verified they'll be receiving a check?I'll follow up with a phone call to "the Ford Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332" but thought I'd ask here too. I figured the dealerships with cars showing the outdated window stickers would have swapped them out for updated window stickers, but that doesn't seem to be the case. For all I know that may be illegal, but figure it'd be easier than mailing customers $475. Edited August 18, 2014 by RobMax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian_L Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Very easy to see if you're getting a check--plug in your VIN in the ETIS website. You'll see "Fuel Economy Customer Satisfaction 14B03" if you're getting one. Nothing to do with the dealership. They can swap stickers all they want but the checks come from head office.

RobMax Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Not sure where exactly on that site to check for that notice. Is it on the first screen after inputting the VIN? If so, I didn't see it so figure I'm not getting it. I called Ford's customer line and they said their records indicated the dealership actually did swap out the window sticker, but that's clearly not true.At least I know the dealerships can do that work themselves now.

Here's where 14B03 shows up. It usually takes some time before an FSA shows up and also some time before an FSA is removed after completion For example, I received my check at least one month ago.

Kelleytoons Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 So you are saying that those of us who do NOT have the 14B03 FSA are never going to see that? Or that it will show up at some point in time? IOW, what triggers an FSA? I would assume that my car (built in January with the same kind of window sticker as Rob) would also qualify for this, but perhaps not. Is this something we can find out from Ford?

Adrian_L Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 That would be a good question for the customer service number. From the PDF I read it that all 2013/2014 C-max's are eligible unless their window sticker shows 42/37/40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
