Some Ford C-Max owners report experiencing issues related to the engine check signal illuminating, which can stem from various causes including faulty oxygen sensors, emission control issues, engine misfires, and fuel system problems. Ignoring this warning light may lead to more serious complications and potentially costly repairs. Additionally, some owners note that a flashing check engine light typically indicates a severe issue, such as a catastrophic misfire that could damage the catalytic converter and result in backfiring. To prevent further damage, it is advisable for owners to have their vehicle inspected by a professional to diagnose the specific cause of the warning light and address any underlying issues promptly.
