Had the kuga now for a month, jumped in the car the other morning to start her up when there was a **** of a shudder from under the car, it sounded like the exaust pipe was banging against the floor panel, it seemed ok for a few days then it happend again this morning, has anybody had the same problem.
I've had my Kuga for a similar time and although i have not experienced this particular problem i will certainly be keeping an eye and ear out for any such thing happening.
Is it a 1.8TDCI? I had the same problem with my S-Max. I'm related to someone that works at Ford. He said that the 1.8TDCI engine has a problem with the flywheel and that if it happens to imedietly switch off the engine as damage might occur. If it keeps happening you should take it back to the dealer.

Kuga 2008 diesel.
Parking sensors and reverse lights not working. I have changed the Reverse switch in the engine bay but this hasn’t made them work. I believe the same fuse is used for the reverse lights as the power door mirrors, but the mirrors are working and so I don’t think it can be the...
Hi, we have a 2009 2.0l TDCI all wheel drive model. We bought it in December and intermittently the Engine Malfunction light has been coming on and putting the car into limp mode. We found that if you restarted the engine this went off but yesterday the car wouldn't turn over at all. We are...
