A 2016 costs about 4-5K more than a 2014. Expand. I can relate the perceived failure rate of C-Max transmission with the issue of the HPFP failures on 2009+ VW TDIs. The MSRP on parts to replace everything that was contaminated with metal in the fuel system was over $5k and labor was about another $1k.
Hopefully a REAL Ford mechanic will know where the 12 volt battery is on a Ford C-MAX SEL!!! For future reference Eric, the HIGH VOLTAGE Lithium battery is in the trunk and the owner's manual clearly states that messing with that COULD BE FATAL!!!
