mxanotcar Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Just received it yesterday. Along with it was the new MPG post in the letter. The MPG is now 40 combined / 42 city / 37 hwy. Now, that is about right since my lifetime AVG is 39.5MPG currently at about 27K total miles. I've driven mostly on hwy and no hypermiling (guess what MPH I have been driven). The received amount is going back to the full size spare wheel and kits that I paid for when bought the car. 40/42/37 is not bad at all considering 184HP and fast (could be better with more touque on the motor). Reading through nearly all the thread posted on here, if this car fixes all its shortcomings (missing sparewheel, i.e.), this would be a perfect car without playing game with the EPA MPG.

Phil1336 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Seriously, does it get any better then this? I purchased my 2013 C-Max SE Hybrid July 31, 2013. Had an MSRP of $26.500 + -. Used my Ford X-Plan (and) with Regional Promotional Discount added $1000 off (plus) a Special Mailed Offer for an additional $750 Discount (and) 36 months financing through Ford Credit at .09% APR. First Ford Rebate Check arrived last Fall for $550 and today, FedEx delivered a surprise envelope with yet (another) check for an additional $475. I don`t give a damn what CR or JD Powers says, I have (No) issue with either Ford or my C-Max. Now, if I can get my "Global Open" Windows (deactivated) so they won`t accidentally open when my Key Fob is in my pocket, I`ll truly be happy!

banditb17 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Will I get a goodwill payment if I already sold my car? Yes. We intend to provide goodwill payments to current and previous owners of the six affected vehicles. Awesome! I was worried I wouldn't get one since I bought mine used, but the sticker had 45/40/43 when I bought it. Shhhh, don't tell them my lifetime average is 43.3 and climbing :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wnuk Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 I got my 2013 two weeks ago with the new EPA ratings on the sticker, guess I'm out of luck :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowStorm Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Guess I'll wait for the check before I report any more mileage stats on The Enterprise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kostby Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Just got our $475 check from Ford, delivered via FedEx minutes ago.We purchased our 2013 C-MAX on March 26, 2014, "born on" date in April 2013. Maybe Ford is sending payments in production order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xanotos Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) I wonder how long before Califorians (Devon, Whhhhhat are you doing here!?) will get those check our way!!!! Edited July 18, 2014 by xanotos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weebee Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Got mine! 475.00! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtcmax Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Bought in October last year and no check. So Ford thank you for this check this time. Feeling just a tad guilty though as now at 42.3 and still climbing. Little drive tonight came with a 56.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil1336 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 This is torture. Us Canadians will probably have to wait weeks or months. Yeah, but just like on the first round of (apology) Cheques Ford sent, Canadians will receive considerably larger amounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehuti Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I didn't even know a check was coming. I got one today. Complete surprise. Considering I've consistently gotten over 44 mpg in the 11 months I've had my C-Max I can't complain. But this has to be a huge blow to Ford's credibility AGAIN.

BobJustBob Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I received my check ($475) on the 17th. Now, if Ford could just fix the d**n 12V battery problem I'd be a happy man! Jus-A-CMax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boilermax Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Anyone that leased get a check yet? I'm thinking Ford is mailing out the checks to owners first... I received my check on Friday - $475. I can't complain, first $550 and now $475. I just passed 10,000 miles and my lifetime average is 43.9 mpg. My summer mileage runs about 49 mpg around town and I don't make any special effort at hypermiling. C-MaxSea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testdriver Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I received it on Saturday, $475. I bought it knowing full well that most drivers could not touch 47/47/47, and we easily exceed all three new numbers (37/42/40) in non-winter driving conditions, so these checks are a real bonus.

Rpshipley Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Just got my check. We also beat the EPA averages without really trying, so yes, this is a nice bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jus-A-CMax Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) My Cmax has been rear ended, fixed to almost new including the leather smell now and still getting BETTER MPGs than it before the crash, what a car. I don't care if they rate it all the way down to 3 MPGs, I know what this car is capable of in the right hands. Now, the check will be a NICE bonus - if Tehuti has it, it must be close, checking the mail box. Enjoy the :happy feet: $$$ :spend: fellas - lots of beer money in there for sure :rockon: Edited July 22, 2014 by Jus-A-CMax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had the battery problem and Ford offered me $8000, I'd be a happy man! :)Just curious, this dead battery problem, is it only effecting early production C-Max`s? My C-Max was built 6/2013 and I have yet to hear of any problems of any nature of C-Max`s built (after) Mid-Summer of 2013? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
