markfnc 7 Posted August 16, 2018 There are some really good deals on used C max with leather seats. Are there any issues with the 2015-2017 versions? Why are they not selling many? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akirby 11,364 Posted August 16, 2018 Low gas prices for the last couple of years mostly. I don’t recall any major issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twintornados 2,240 Posted August 16, 2018 No issues with car, it is built on the C1 Global chassis which has proven itself as stone cold reliable...low gas prices and oddball styling has doomed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YT90SC 311 Posted August 16, 2018 I love my 13. Its had a few very minor issues, the majority of which have been MFT problems. The bugs that popped up with the majority of the cars seem to be gone by 2015. My parents had some early issues with their 13, but once sorted it was reliable until it was totalled. They replaced it with a 16 that has had literally nothing wrong with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YT90SC 311 Posted August 17, 2018 I take that back. Mom's 16 had a throttle body failure at low miles. Bad batch of bodies. TSB about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carguy 7 Posted August 19, 2018 I love my 2017. 7900 miles since I bought it in November. 41.9 mpg average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fuzzymoomoo 5,898 Posted August 19, 2018 The people that bought them love them. I hated installing the door panels on them though. PITA compared to the Focus panels. Dunno how the Louisville guys do that for ever car instead of 1 out of 10 like I did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AceT123 3 Posted July 31, 2019 I keep coming back to look at the CMax. I think it might suffer a bit from an image problem, but from what I read, they are reliable for the most part and owners seem to love them. When I went to the local auto show and sat in literally 100 vehicles, the CMax was the one I kept coming back to. And off lease, they seem reasonably priced, at about 50% of sticker at 2 years old and 20k miles. What's everyone's experience here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harley Lover 545 Posted August 18, 2019 The one issue that seems to pop up is that they will discharge the 12v battery more quickly than most cars, and tend to discharge the 12v battery if allowed to sit for an extended period. Ford supposedly corrected this issue with a software fix, but you'll still see someone occasionally have this problem. Easiest fix is to keep an eye on the 12v battery, and maybe proactively have it replaced sooner than you might normally do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
