My Ford Kuga’s computer display has a fault. The Sat Nav doesn’t work anymore and the actual map doesn’t have any detail on it although it does still move as it would do if you were driving along. Is there a way of rebooting the computer myself or would I have to take it in?

I have a 2008 Ford Kuga and the ESP light stays on, what has caused this and does it need to be seen by a Ford technician?

Answers

Have you accidently turned it off? If so, the light will be on. If not, any garage with decent diagnostic equipment could look at it, take it to a Ford dealer if still under warranty - Martin Jones from Essex

I have got a Ford Kuga that’s just two years old and has started juddering when I’m driving it! It went for a service a couple of weeks ago and the guy said something about a flat spot in the engine but they couldn’t find it, so I’m unable to do anything about it! It’s just getting worse and I want to know if anyone else has the same problem and shine some light on what to do bout this! Thank you. Variant: . Year Of Make: 2009
