Ford Kuga 2013: Shuddering and clunking

We had not had an ounce of trouble with our 2013 Ford Kuga until the last few months when it started clunking and banging in the rear. Our dealer put it on the computer and said that they had found and fixed the problem, but it recently started again. It seems to be at its worst when travelling slowly in traffic or backing off as you approach lights. With the amount of shuddering and clunking it was doing we were concerned that the rear-end could drop out of the car. Have other owners have had this problem?

We haven't had any other reports of problems like you have experienced. You don't say what engine you have, but if it's a diesel you have the Powershift automatic transmission, which has been troublesome in other Ford models, such as the Focus.
