666 I got a call today with a Fed Ex tracking number saying my cheque is on the way. Timely as we traded in our C-Max two days ago for a Lincoln MKC. Actually the MKC is easy to adjust to as it is very much like the C-Max in many ways. It is a little higher off the ground and a little bigger inside, but the MyLincolnTouch is identical to MFT. The only huge difference is the gas guzzling LOL. However, for my husband with his weak right hand the MKC is a Godsend with the push button gear shifting. But the MKC is lovely, but we paid a lovely price. So God willing we will keep this one forever.

666 based on your comments, I have phoned yet again! I did follow Rachel's phone numbers this time. I was ready to give up by the time I got through with today's call. Very nice man (in Florida and not Canada). He went through every call that I have made and tried to follow what had happened--in the end nothing! He noted I gave a change of address in July, but perhaps the change of address was not sent to the section who issues the cheques. So now I have a case number, and if I haven't heard anything in 2 1/2 weeks I should phone back. I think I am up to half a dozen calls or better.

I called again today, and really got no answer other than they are looking into it. I have generally had very pleasant women trying to help, but I do not remain optimistic of receiving the check. Ashley I did not see your response before I called today so I used a different phone number. I will send you my VIN later.

I'll miss the forum too. It is one of the best around. I think the Lincoln MKC will be a good fit for us. My husband has a weak right hand due to a neurological disease and the push button shifting will be easier for him. I did worry about the cost of fuel, but we really put so few miles on our cars that isn't a huge consideration. I think the C-Max is a wonderful high end car. . Really the Lincoln MKC feels a lot like a C-Max (probably due to the genesis of the product being based on an Edge). Also my husband wants more technology --I think this is due to him getting older (not me LOL) and a person needing all the help they can get such as lane departure warning, blind spot warning, adaptive cruise control, crash warning etc. He worked hard all his life, and I feel that he is entitled to spoil himself now. We did toss around keeping our SEL and going back to a two car family, but we decided in the end that I can rent a car for those rare occasions when I want to head out of town with the girls or go to visit friends that he doesn't want to go see. I'll let you know how the wheeling and dealing goes for trading in and buying. I have a customer coming to look at the tires this afternoon as I posted them on Craigslist too. He says they will fit his Volvo. The customer for the tires offered $500 and I was horrified and said no. So they are still available.

Frank it is Canadian dollars--so for an American it is a super deal as the Canadian dollar is at about 90 cents or less. Hubby is getting a Lincoln MKC with all the technology he has ever wanted. Seems a nice vehicle but for sure I will miss Tip. Happy Thanksgiving all you fellow Canucks!

We have four NOKIAN Nordman 4 98T XL 225/50R17 winter tires, and 4 rims 17.7.5 5/108 CRA Impulse Silver +40. We bought them Oct. of 2013 and were used for 4,000 K (2400 miles). They look brand new with almost no wear. TPMS sensors. They should fit Ford Focus and Fusion as well as the C-Max Hybrid. We paid $1984.90 for them. We are trading in our C-Max thus we won't need them this winter. They were purchased at Kal Tire and the service agent there describes our tires as "a very nice package that should sell well". This is a good deal for any British Columbia or North West Washington C-Maxers. You have to come here to get them as it is too costly to ship them.

I have phoned 3 times concerning the second check. Each time they are checking into it as they do not know what happened to it. I guess I should phone yet again as it is now 2 weeks since I last phoned.

I am guessing Lexi is a fair bit larger by now. Glad she is "an excellent dog". She is lovely.

Taylor you left out the most important fact! What is her name and how old is she? And is she a very good girl? Nice invention. We only have a wee senior named Tinker so she sits where she likes and is quiet as a mouse. (Of course she wears her seat belt while traveling).

Our seat heat was working after the recall was done, but the lights weren't. However now they are so that makes me happy. Something probably jiggled loose, and may jiggle loose again but for now it is working.

Wow what a saga with your car dmk2000. Glad it is fixed. Maybe an unhappy employee put the rouge bolt there?

What is a platinum membership? I just saw the explanation. Still don't see the benefit of spending the money?

Thanks Zathrus. I have saved your comments for our next trip in to the dealership.

Ours was in the recall as Tip was built in October 2013. I notice now that the recalls were done that the indicator lights for the seat heat aren't working. Heat is fine, but no lights. I will let them know but not bother going back until the next check up date in February or so.

Thanks doc. I guess I'm good to go.
