With good discounts now, I am interested to get the Kuga. Before committing, I always research a little to find out if there are any issues! OMG....I'm shocked & disappointed. Reports of overheat and fire!

Note, there's been several recalls on the same problems. Which means early fixes were inadequate!

The recalls listed only affect US made Escape from the lousiville plant. Our Kuga's come from Valencia Spain, and there has not been any recalls on the fuel line issue thats faced in US.

Recalls are part of manufacturing cars, toyota and honda recalled millions more cars then Ford this year

It's comforting to know our Kuga's are from Spain and may not be affected. Our sales numbers are too small at the moment to reflect the true story. Neverthe less it is certainly good to know Malaysian Kuga's are running well.

Not questioning recalls. In fact am glad about it, as we'll probably never see it Malaysia. What troubles me is that 90K vehicles were recalled in UK on a number of times for overheat / fire problem, not just once. If the Spanish assembly plant has the solution, surely UK would have implemented!

The question now, are the Spanish models any different. Or do we have the volume to tell us the true story?

Greeting to all Kuga owners

I am considering on the used Ford Kuga, personally I love Kuga exterior , the 1.6 turbo and all wheels drive system.

I need some advise from all the Dai Gor at here,

1) Most of the used units on sale is 2013/2014 , if full service record provided will I eligible for the remain warranty period ?
As 5 years warranty shall end at 2018/2019

2) Any major problems on Kuga ?
I see one owner complaint that Kuga will have engine overheat problem after send to SC for checking the problem still remain.
anyone experience this , wondering is this problem common or is a special case.

3) Servicing
From above post, there is one bros mentioned he have to replace the disc rotor around 40K+
Is it common for disk brake and disk rotor wear out every 40K ? I tot disk rotor shall last longer than disk brake....

4) fuel consumption
from previous post , most daigor claim that it is less than 10km per litter
Any daigor can share about their data ~
Hope I can get more info at here, need some mentally preparation on the future maintenance for Kuga before I commit it.

There were complaints of engine overheat/fire locally. This was huge problem in Europe, many units caught fire. Ford had a massive recall to fix a fuel line leak in Europe. I actually turned down, when the recall did not fix the problem. Probably fixed by now.

I would advise to check on spars availability before buying. This model did not sell well in Malaysia.
