I have a Ford Kuga with just over 100,000km on the clock. Recently, while accelerating from a stop, the car would stall and lose power. This happens randomly and can be quite dangerous, especially when trying to merge onto a highway. I've checked the fuel and air filters, and they seem to be in good condition. What could be the cause of this issue and what can I do to fix it?
ReplyHi Anna, it sounds like your Ford Kuga's fuel pump may be failing. This is a common issue in higher mileage vehicles. I would recommend taking it to a trusted mechanic to have it checked and replaced if necessary. It's important to address this issue as it can lead to complete engine failure.
I had the same issue with my Ford Kuga, and it turned out to be a faulty fuel and air sensor. It's a relatively easy and inexpensive fix. I would suggest taking it to a reputable mechanic to have the sensors checked and replaced if needed.
If you've recently filled your Ford Kuga with a low-quality gasoline, it could also be the cause of stalling on acceleration. Try filling up at a different gas station with a higher quality fuel and see if that improves the issue. If it persists, then it's likely a mechanical issue that needs to be addressed.
