My Kuga Titanium had been flashing up "Engine Service Now" on several occasions. On one occasion power was lost on the M2 ascent out of Belfast and on 18th July the same thing happened on the dual carriageway between Ballymony and Coleraine. The car was doing 60 mph and wouldn't accelerate to enable me to overtake. There were no problems on the return journey. The warning had come on at least 4 other times albeit on minor roads at relatively low speed. My car has not yet done 2000 miles. The car was booked into the Ford dealship on Wednesday and a new air filter was fitted as there appeared to be some crushing on the original one which was a tight fit. Full marks to Adrian, the salesman, who researched the problem and told the workshop to check the air filter. Apparently Ford Kuga air filters are to be 2 mm smaller. So far the problem hasn't repeated itself. I know of one other person whose Kuga is presenting the same warning. Hope this info is helpful.
