  I bought a pre-owned 2013 C-Max with fewer than 18,000 miles on it and was excited. Over the next half-year, I took it to two different Ford dealerships because of strange noises coming from the transmission. But they couldn't figure out the issue. As my warranty expired, the transmission got worse. Fast forward two years, and I'm shelling out $4,500 on a new transmission, and Ford won't own up to any responsibility.

  The 2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid is notorious for a problem where the transfer shaft assembly bearing fails, leading to transmission issues that necessitate replacing the bearing.

  Bought a pre-owned 2013 Maxima with 58,000 miles in excellent condition, or so I thought, only to experience a complete transmission failure just days after the factory warranty expired.

  We own two Ford C-Maxes, a 2013 model and a 2014 model. Recently found out that the transmission in the 2014 model is acting up at 82,000 miles. Research online suggests that the replacement cost is around $6,000. If this information is accurate, the car is basically useless. I've already spent $700 on repairs earlier this year to fix another common issue with the C-Max. I definitely wouldn't consider purchasing a C-Max without an extended warranty.

  My car's transmission broke down at 98,000 miles. The main bearing failed, and I had to replace the entire transmission. Fingers crossed that the issue doesn't come back.

  2013 C-max. The transmission is terrible and expensive to repair. A used replacement costs $3,000. These vehicles are known for breaking down easily.

  The transmission broke down and it's no longer covered by the warranty.
