Kuga Cutting Out

Hi, my 2011 Ford Kuga diesel is giving me grief. Keeps cutting out. It starts briefly, then dies. The error memory has something stored. I have 147444 km on the clock. Could the security light be the culprit?

A 2011 Ford Kuga diesel was experiencing issues with cutting out shortly after starting, with an error stored in the memory. The problem was suspected to be related to the security system, specifically the immobilizer. It was confirmed that incorrect key programming was causing the immobilizer to activate, preventing the car from running properly. The issue was resolved by recoding the key, which restored normal operation.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Sounds like an immobilizer fault. I had similar issues with my Kuga. Does the engine not start at all sometimes? It could be key programming or a faulty remote start. It's like the car doesn't recognize the key.

Yeah, that's exactly it. Sometimes it will start just fine, other times, nothing. If it does start, it dies immediately. What was your solution?

My Kuga had almost identical symptoms. In my case, the key programming was incorrect. You should probably get it checked at a workshop.

Thanks. I took it to the workshop and they confirmed it was the key programming causing the immobilizer to kick in. Recoding cost me 45€. Now it is running as expected!
