hi all just a quicky , anyone had any issues with the handbrake not holding ? It holds when first parked up but if not left in gear will roll/creap forward , it did this and rolled into my garage wall with a resulting £900 repair bil

One of my mates at work had a similar thing happen to him , If you havent been affected by this please heed my warning and leave it in gear when you park up . we have raised the issue with ford customer services and await their comments , will keep you posted !

I haven't used my handbrake for years.
I always leave it in gear.
I only use it when there are mountains involved but where I live it is just flat

We had our Kuga less than 24hrs last month.

Parked on a slope. handbrake applied fully.

Half an hour later, car gone. Was at the bottom of the hill smashed into a parked car.

I know that the handbrake was on fully. Ford don't care.
