2013 FORD C-MAX HYBRID Complaints

ABS FAILED CAUSING CAR TO SLIDE ON SLICK SURFACE, AND AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN FRONT END COLLISION.

WHILE DRIVING THE DOOR AJAR WENT ON. I PULLED OVER AND I NOTICED THAT THE LIFT GATE WAS OPENED (ON ITS OWN) AND COULDN'T CLOSE. I VISITED FORD AND BASED ON THE RECALL FSA 16S30 I ASSUMED IT WOULD BE COVERED SINCE THEY TOLD ME THAT THE LIFT GATE LATCH WAS DEFECTIVE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL ONLY COVERS ALL 4 SIDE DOOR LATCHES AND THE LIFT GATE IS NOT PART OF IT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED,

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE PLASTIC CHROME ON THE INSIDE HAS COME UP AND CUTS YOUR HAND. IT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE HANDLE BUT SINCE MY WARRANTY IS UP THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $350 FOR THE HANDLE PLUS WHATEVER TIME IT TAKES TO REPLACE IT. I HAVE PUT A PIECE OF TAPE ON IT FOR NOW BUT IT LOOKS TERRIBLE.

AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30 MILES AT NIGHT, I GET A BURNING SMELL IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE STOP ME TO TELL ME THAT MY REAR TAIL LIGHTS ARE OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONLY TWICE BUT I RARELY DRIVE AT NIGHT. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY THE LAST TIME AND SOME PEOPLE FOLLOWED ME TO TELL ME THAT THEY COULD BARELY SEE ME. I HAVE A BLACK CAR AND LICENSE PLATE. THE CAR IS OUR OF WARRANTY AND I DON'T KNOW IF MY EXTENDED WARRANT WILL COVE IT. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT NOW. *TR
