My question , why does the transmission fall under the Hybrid/Electric 8yr/100,000 mile warranty rather than the Powertrain 5yr/60,000 mile? New Vehicle Limited Warranty. We want your Ford C-MAX ownership experience to be the best it can be. Under this warranty, your new vehicle comes with 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper coverage, 5-year/60,000-mile Powertrain Warranty coverage, 5-year/60,000-mile safety restraint coverage, and 5-year/unlimited-mile corrosion (perforation) coverage – all with no deductible. C-MAX unique electric components are covered during the Hybrid/Electric Unique Component Coverage, which lasts for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Likely because the transmission is not actually a CVT. I won't try to explain how the eCVT works here (there are other explanations and videos on the forum) but it does combine the two different electric motors with the gas engine, using the electric motors to help power the wheels or to charge the battery, depending on what the car and gas engine are doing. Since the electric motors both connect into the CVT, and the CVT is a unique component of the hybrid model drivetrain, it only makes sense that it would be covered under the hybrid warranty.

Quote Transmission: all internal parts, clutch cover, seals and gaskets, torque converter, transfer case (including all internal parts), transmission case, transmission mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
