darrelld Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 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: Your C-Max too, what is it with morons rear ending C-Maxes lately. Hopefully everyone in your vehicle is ok, my wife was amazed at how the C-Max took the 50 mph rear end collision from a Lexus RX. I told her the C-Max weighs about the same as the RX and its simply a matter of kinetic energy transfer and mass. She understood and now wants a C-Max Energi. ;) Edited July 26, 2014 by darrelld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very glad to hear you wife is OK. Mine was a BMW with the driver arrested under DUI influence at the scene and failing to render assistence as well. Morons indeed. By the way, it was not enough to wipe out Maxine (shes blessed) and now shes as good as new - infact, getting much, much better MPGs. Weird huh and no issues with creaks, steering nothing - the body shop (Ford Auto Body in Van Nuys) did a GREAT JOB and they were recommended by my Service Manager at Galpin. $14K worth of damage.

From Speed6ing 2 C-Maxing Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Yes, this was the 2nd check I've received from Ford. I'm pretty sure that between 9/13 and 7/14, that I went on one of the various websites that allow you to pull up your window sticker, but I just don't remember ever seeing it say 43MPG combined. So when I went looking for the original build date via the window sticker online, I was surprised to find a date of 7/8/14 (the date I guess Ford "re-invoiced" the car and updated the window sticker to reflect the now current 40MPG combined).

Sorry to hear about your back and I hope the other drivers insurance compensates for you pain/suffering and lost time. My damage was only $5,000 and there are still some minor things left on my punch list they need to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMoon Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Received my check yesterday...found it on my doorstep after a long day at work. Oh, and I got 51mpg on the commute home! :happy feet: C-MaxSea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlaurence Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I got my check on Thursday. In two weeks my C-Max will be one year old (built in May) and my lifetime mileage is now 43.4 on the odometer. I feel like I should give the money back! But I'm not going to.

Oh and I got 46.5 MPG on my last tank of gas Lovely - more MPG posts like this will destroy the last credibility of....<fill in the blank>. Don't worry, all of you and me included, will NEVER get a job there anyway. We are jus bad and we don't stick with the program.... :dance: Now go and enjoy the check. By the way - let's play a game - what did you do with the money? I'll start. Water heater went, cost us $800 including taxes for a mighty fine replacement. Wifey was happy the $475 went into 1/2 the cost here :victory: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveofDurham Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 FedEx delivered a check to us on Friday. Our C-Max was built in Nov 2012 and purchased in Dec 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAC Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I got my check! Yahoo! Build date 5/21/2013; purchase date 12/26/2013. Lifetime MPG 40.8 and improving. (February's weather killed my lifetime average but I was also new at driving a hybrid. Plus, its easy to forget you are in a hybrid so I fail to remember to P&G sometimes.) I love my CMAX...just the way she is! C-MaxSea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowbar Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) I received my 2nd MPG check on Thursday. A total of $1025. It more than paid for my 7 year / 100k mile extended warranty. Wow! I love this car. I haven't had any maintenance issues other than 5k oil changes / tire rotation and updates.

John Sparks Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 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. I just got my $475 on Friday. I've mentioned this before, I just think Ford is trying to make the public happy. I'm just shy of 21,000 miles and my lifetime average is: 46.5 mpg. Love my Cmax! So much better than my Honda Civic Hybrid. My wife is still surprised by just how much cargo this litte car can hold and loves the difference in power. The Civic is weak.

mnrobitaille Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) We received the 2nd check today. It arrived via Priority Mail for us. With three different drivers (3 different driving styles), we're averaging just about 37 MPG. Some of the $475 is going towards the purchase/install of a new Undercarriage shield for Neytiri. We've had her since September 28, 2012 & currently have 64,712.7 miles on the odometer.

CarpeNivem Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yup, I received another check last week, and I had already received one several months ago. When I bought the car, the window sticker did say 47 MPG, and after 25k miles, 40 MPG is what I'm getting, so this EPA revision seems to be spot on for my experience. That said, I wasn't upset before or anything, because I never expected 47 MPG in the first place, because I've never owned a car which actually gets the mileage on the window sticker... but I guess, that's only until now. :) Jus-A-CMax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Good afternoon folks. Today I received my second (2nd) check from Ford, $475. This makes the total just a smidge 0ver $1000.00. I am averaging, since new, 44.7 mpg. I have a very early delivery 2013 model. I never expect to get sticker milage on a new car, but I am usually within 10% since manufacturers started testing and posting on stickers. This appears to be the "gift that keeps on giving".
