When i first drive it with battery-only mode (about 15 miles), it is quiet. When the engine kicks in, there is a loud whining noise when driving it on the streets or on highways and even on idle. I took it to ford dealership they said it is the transmission and they can not repair just some parts of it, so it needs a brand new transmission to the tune of $8000. At only 110k miles, i could not drive it past 15 miles of battery range.

Car accelerated by itself in drive. I'd to either apply brake or put the car in neutral to stop it. When shifted back to d, it auto accelerated. After i got home, shut it off and after 10 min. It started working normally.
Transmission failed at 80,000 miles, replaced at ford dealership, failed again at 105,000 miles, just 2 years after replacement.
2 issues 1) back-up camera has started to intermittently fail. Sometimes it displays when you start to back up then goes blank. 2) the driver side rear door is stuck shut. The inside panel binds against the door jam and prevents it from opening.
225/57/17 driving down the interstate and the tire blew
System: electric power steering assist module failed on engine start up. Safety: without power steering it is extremely difficult to steer the car manually which could cause an accident and/or bodily injury. This is a well known problem with the ford cmax which has created a recall for earlier model years of the cmax (but my 2014 model is not covered under previous recalls). Inspection: vehicle is at the ford dealership and has been diagnosed with a failed power steering module and is currently under parts replacement. Warnings: on 8 feb 2014 during engine start, i warning window was displayed that said "service power steering". Same warning window appeared the following morning when car was started. I drove it carefully to the dealership for repair.
Rear back-up camera does not display on dashboard console screen when air temperature is cold, i. E. Below about 45º, and will only turn back on when the car has sufficiently warmed up after driving some distance. This has been happening for at least two years. When the camera is not working, there is a blind spot directly behind the car. The rear of the car proximity warning signal still works, but the screen remains black. I brought this problem to the attention of the dealership service manager, who told me he could not find anything obviously wrong.
The contact owns a 2017 ford c-max hybrid. The contact stated while starting the vehicle in cold temperatures, the steering wheel was locked. The contact stated that the steering wheel operated as needed after the vehicle had warmed up. Additionally, the contact stated while driving 30 mph, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. The message "power steering assist fault" was displayed. The contact stated that he used his physical strength to steer the steering wheel, and he drove to his nearby residence. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the power steering rack needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer, where the same assessment was made. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 50,500.
