Ford Kuga 2012 FAQs

Ford Kuga 2012: Known issues with the electronics and fuel consumption?

Most owners are happy with the fuel consumption they get from their Kuga, and no one we have spoken to has suggested the electrics are a problem at high temperatures. One did say they thought the air-conditioning wasn't up to the task, which could be what you are referring to. The Kuga is an import, and imports often have inferior air-conditioning systems that struggle in Australia's extreme heat. The only other issue that cropped up was one with the particulate filter with the diesel, which would go into 'limp-home' mode because the filter failed to regenerate automatically. When that happens it's usually a sign that the owner's driving cycle isn't suitable for the diesel. Dealers can do a manual regeneration, but that costs money. Overall the Kuga appears to be a decent enough car.
