Rexh Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hello, C-Max members,I just picked up my new C-Max 2014 SEL Ice Storm with 302A package. So far, I love it. I like the color and the power. I have only one question, There is a whine when I startup, depending on whether the Electric or Engine is running.Anyone else notice this? It scared me in traffic yesterday. I have 291 miles and so far it registers 38.8 with 3/4 of a tank of fuel.Any suggestions for the noise? Everything else, I am figuring out by this forum and reading the book. RexSeaMax C-MaxSea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinytop Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 The only time mine makes a big noise is when I have it in Low instead of Drive. Easy to do in the Cmax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDadMiami Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I remember seeing posts about this before. From what I recall, the sound in the posts had to do with acceleration, and it only happened when ICE was running. However, maybe that is a good place to start your search. I have that noise, but only as above, and almost only when doing a higher rate of acceleration. It does not happen when I am doing a lesser burn.

Since you're concerned, you can always swing by your dealership so they can take a listen/look. If you need any additional help, just let me know. :) Crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexh Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Thanks Crystal, I will be going to my dealer this week sometime for accessory installation and will ask them. One Ford Company question is will my fee oil changes from the dealer I purchased the car from be hosted at another dealer closer to my home?
