wamba2000 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Just pickedup the C-Max last Wednesday, and noticed a rattle in the rear area driving away from the dealer, heading back to work. I did not think it was anything major, so thought I would see if anything else came out in the first few days. Going in Monday to be checked. My guess is it relates to the rear hatch, as you hear it mostly on uneven surfaces, but seems to be happening more. Will report what they find.....it is my only comment so far. My C-Max has already recognized home at EV+ proximity after just a few days. I have over 200 miles on already and avg MPG is at 37.5, blend of mostly city and some freeway driving. Man I wish the EV would run over 65mph! I have been stopped twice by people in parking lots asking me what kind of car it is and how it drives!

wamba2000 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 FYI, found a couple things: 1. If you have a rattle comig from the rear wheels: THe brake caliper on my right rear wheel was loose, the bolts were cross-threaded and had to be replaced. 2. If you have the "open sesame" rear hatch, there is a TSB for operation, and adjustments were made. Mine had a couple times when it woudl unlatch but not rise up. That is supposed to be fixed with the TSB. FoutsNC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMS13 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 What is the TSB number? FoutsNC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoutsNC Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Great info about that TSB. Do you have the TSB number as RMS requested above? I know there are a lot of people here having that issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 For the blondes on the forum, I searched to see what TSB stood for and found out it is a technical service bulletin. Likely I am the one who didn't know that <g>. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelnLa Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I was wondering too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoutsNC Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thank you! I am setting up an appointment to get mine checked out next week with a couple of other little things. That should be very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 FYI, My last new Ford PU, I kept track of the TSBs and went to the dealer when ever I found one, because they never did call me and tell me there was one to be doneit is free while your vehicle is still in the new warrenty period, and suppose to bring it up to date with the latter autos sold after you got yours. I had 5 TSB done on my 2000 SD250.It's one of the things you need to keep up with, if your in for service, you would be lucky if they bring it up.
