Consumer Description
SINCE I PURCHASED THE 2013 C MAX THERE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IT STARTS WITH THE CLOCK, TIME IS WRONG. NEXT THE RADIO WILL NOT WORK UNABLE TO SHUT IT OFF, CHANGE VOLUME BASICALLY NOTHING WORKS. AFTER A DAY OR 2 THE CAR WILL NOT START, NO POWER. ONCE WE JUMP START THE CAR EVERYTHING WILL BE OK UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. CURRENTLY RADIO IS NOT WORKING AGAIN AND NOW ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND I AM GETTING A WARNING TO PULL OVER SAFELY NOW. IT TOOK MULTIPLE TIMES TO TRY TO SHUT VEHICLE OFF. FORD TELLS ME 'WE NEVER HEARD OF THIS'. THEY WANT $500.00 DOLLARS TO JUST DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS INSANE BECAUSE IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME WE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE CLOCK, RADIO AND DEAD BATTERY. WHAT HAD TO HAPPEN BEFORE THIS GETS FIXED? A SERIOUS ACCIDENT? I READ ALL THE COMMENTS ON HERE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM! FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM !
