I've had my Kuga - Doris, since the end of July.
As you may've seen from my other postings, I think I've been sold a "plum"
Doris has to go in AGAIN 1st thing Monday for;
1 Carpets are worn to the underlay & badly frayed, so are being replaced
2 Rubber on drivers door has split & falls off that has to be replaced
3 Door trim on drivers door, does not fit, so is buckled up - again replaced
4 Heated wing mirrors only work IF they feel like it - looking into a loose wire
5 Splash protector thingy in back wheel arch has worked it's way loose & now rubs on wheel - replaced or refitted
6 Still being flashed at 'cos my lights are too bright - been adjusted once so still scratching their heads on this one
7 Power steering Malfunction warning light stays on most of the time - another head scratching issue
8 the red "i" waring light flashes on & off like a bloody disco - yes you guessed it! scratch their heads
9 Wont always go into reverse - gear box needs "tweaking" what that means is anybodys guess
10 Hums & drones merrily away all night to herself when has been parked for over an hour - that is well spooky. - could be "auto battery power saving mode" or could be "hey we dont know so are gonna blind you with science"
Don't get me wrong, on the whole I am very pleased with her, It's just all these niggly little issues are starting to try my patience.
My dealer has been 100% helpful & has promised all the issues will be dealt with. But come on if you spend £25K plus on a car, thats the least they should do.
I have now decided on a career change - I'm going apply for the job of Quality Control Manager on the Kuga production line, at the main Ford factory! I too can sit on my backside all day doing nothing
Has anyone else experienced any of the above problems? or am I just unlucky?
