problem #2

Dec 102012

C-Max Hybrid 4-cyl

  • 800 miles
Cpm takes over vehicle operation and eliminates use of accelerator. Vehicle self accelerates to maximum of 35 mph. Electric brakes become very sensitive, becoming jerky and stop its movement very fast. The vehicle has repeatedly went into this mode at 800 miles, 1800 miles, 2200 miles, 2300 miles and approximately 2350 miles. For motor company and local Ford dealership have not been able to remedy the problem after 4 attempts to do so. Unable to get sufficient information from fmc to determine if its a fleet wide problem or a single vehicle problem. The unusual problem makes the vehicle very hazardous to drive and unreliable to use on public highways.

problem #1

C-Max Hybrid

  • 2,825 miles
Went to start car first thing in the morning for work and it was completely dead. Had to jump start. Took to dealer. They kept overnight and ran tests but could not find anything wrong. Second occurrence on 1/25 - same thing - completely dead - this time it was mid afternoon after sitting all day at work. Had to jump start again. Taking to dealer in the morning. There appears to be no apparent reason it just doesn't recognize it has power and nothing works.
