On Monday of this week our Kuga (purchased November 2008) gave us a waning of low brake fluid as we were going round a corner. Assumed that just faulty reading. On Tuesday, the warning came every time we went round a sharp corner. By Wednesday the warning was just on permantly and I checked the brake fluid reservoir. Fluid was way below the minimum level. A phone call to Ford garage ended up with the car being booked in for Thursday. After looking at it the garage said that as the reservoir was for brake and clutch fluid, they thought we had a problem in the clutch. This now means that the gearbox will have to be stripped and as the garage have never seen this problem, they are scratching their heads until 'Ford' (I thought that by taking it to a Ford main dealer they would know) tells them how to fix it. They are saying that they cannot give the car back as it is dangerous to drive. After much complaining they found a courtesy car for us - a Ford Fusion. Not impressed at all as they cannot give us a return date for the car.
Has anyone else had this problem? I will give updates on the problem as and when I get them myself.
