2018 Ford C-MAX — reported problems
CarFaultIQ holds 74 evidence records for the 2018 Ford C-MAX, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.
What the records are about, by source
Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.
- Owner complaints (1,004 records, model years 2013–2018) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, powertrain (transmission & drivetrain) and steering.
- Manufacturer communications (902 records, model years 2013–2018) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and powertrain (transmission & drivetrain).
"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Diagnostic codes found in evidence for this vehicle
These codes appear by explicit identifier in official records matched to this exact model and year.
A code appearing in a record means the code was named in that document. It is not a diagnosis of this vehicle, not a fault this vehicle has, and not an indication of urgency. Diagnosis requires reading live data from the vehicle.
