Model years to avoid

Ford C-Max

What it says about you

Opinion

A tall, efficient hatch sold in a market that did not want tall efficient hatches. You wanted one.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

6 model years on record, 29 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has none. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.

Every year

  1. 2018 1 recall 0 complaints
  2. 2017 1 recall 1 complaints
  3. 2016 3 recalls 7 complaints
  4. 2015 6 recalls 19 complaints
  5. 2014 8 recalls 1 complaints
  6. 2013 8 recalls 1 complaints
