On balance given that any 30 month plus 3 months will expire before the end of the year as regards my CX the better course for me is not to accede to the terms of the 30 month Warranty which you say i and other CX owners are entitled to.
I will take my chance
Three main reasons 1.I do not know the terms of the 30 month warranty sent to you and such terms may be less favourable than the terms enforceable in respect of my car at the present time under my present warranty;
2.The terms apparently enable MMC to take advantage of a specific time limit which is unlikely to be the position under the terms of or referred to in my 2021 Manual;
3.I am with respect at a loss to understand why you have not copied the emails from MMC (with personal details omitted if thought fit) into this thread so all may consider them.
I readily appreciate that others will disagree with me as to most appropriate course in the circumstances.
I had no terms sent to me. I was informed by email that it is 30 months - nothing for anyone to consider. I am more than happy being told it's 30 months and to me that just about covers all non consumable problems - we all have exactly the same. Nobody gets anything over and above anyone else so consequently for me at least there is no need to look for problems when none exist.

Obviously lot's of opinions above on warranty periods, T&C's, etc, it's not just CX, some of us with Trads & the Aero lads have suffered too
Don't forget ANY owner has the option of buying a 3rd party warranty and extending the 'cover' as long as you may want for peace of mind...lot's of ads in the back of motoring mags, and t' web

This has already been done under warranty. I only posted the picture so that others can check that theirs are ok.

On my Roadster but relevant to CX, I removed each screen upright screw, one at a time as differing lengths, and put blob of grease into hole then replaced to offset the likelihood of water getting in and lifting paint. These screws are notorious for seizing into frame so another reason for such.

Now I have shuffled through all 90 posts in this thread trying to find out exactly what went wrong with the brakes, but in vain. I understand there was a master cylinder issue due to premature degradation of the rubber seals. But why? I have seen mentioned porosity of the cylinder wall as a possible cause, as well as a defect rubber compound. But nobody seems to have reached a conclusion, and there is certainly no explanation from MMC. Does anybody know about the real reason - the heart of the matter - for the brake problems? And what do we know of the number of accidents due to brake failure? The only statement I have seen is from SimonH on this forum (formerly?) who claimed that he knew about two cases of two brake failure accidents. Anybody here who knows?

I only know by my dealer but it could be a rumor that two cars have lose their brakes on a race track . The new master cylinder improved the pedal travel and softness but that all . I am curious to know how the cars made in 2023 are braking with the ap racing brakes.
