    Ford Kuga 2013

    Ford Kuga 2013

    FROM
    $6,050

    The 2013 Ford Kuga range of configurations is currently priced from $4,000.

    Our most recent review of the 2013 Ford Kuga resulted in a score of 8 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Contributing Journalist Graham Smith had this to say at the time: Reliable, refined, the Kuga is in its prime as a used car buy.Laurie Mewburn We had an ex-fleet 2013 Titanium diesel until July. We bought it with 8000km on it and really enjoyed it until it developed a horrific noise under load and when cold. The dealer found it to be the injectors, which were replaced and the computer was reset. Then the transmission cooler split and filled the cooling system with oil. Fearing what could happen when the warranty ran out, I traded it on a Kia Sportage. I am disappointed the Kuga was let down by these issues as it was a very good car before they arose.

    This is what Graham Smith liked most about this particular version of the Ford Kuga: Smooth, comfortable ride, Low NVH, Good boot and cabin space

    The 2013 Ford Kuga carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1200 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

    The Ford Kuga is also known as Ford Escape in markets outside Australia.

    Ford Kuga 2013 FAQs

    Ford Kuga 2013: Automatic transmission problems

    It’s a dual-clutch auto similar to the ones that gave so much trouble in other models. As you say an auto transmission should last more than 80,000 km, it’s worth pursuing a claim for a replacement transmission.

    Ford Kuga 2013: Should the differential last longer than five years?

    You’re correct that a diff should last longer than six years, but how long it should last is open to question. To its credit Ford has offered to pay a portion of the repair cost. They won’t pay the whole cost of the repair as you have had six years of use out of the diff, and it’s now worn as a result of that use. There is no hard and fast rule that applies to your situation. The offer from Ford is based on the amount of wear and the projected life of the diff. You’re best to negotiate with Ford and hold out for the best deal you can get.

    Ford Kuga 2013: Should Ford or the dealer fix the gearbox?

    It’s the responsibility of the dealer you bought it from to repair it, he’s the one issuing your warranty. The automatic transmission in Fords has been an ongoing problem, and it would seem that the transmission in your car needs to be replaced. The bottom line is you need to sort it out with your dealer, if that doesn’t result in a satisfactory resolution go to VCAT.
