Uneven mileage on 2020 Ford Kuga: search for mechanic recommendations
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2020 Ford Kuga is experiencing uneven driving and bouncing, causing stress for the owner. The issue might be related to the door contact signal, but a similar problem in a 2017 Ford Focus was resolved by replacing a faulty control unit. It is suggested to have the control unit checked as a potential solution, despite the high cost, as it resolved similar issues in another vehicle.

Hey, thanks for the tip about the control unit. Do you remember how much you had to pay for the replacement? And have there been any further problems since then or has your Ford Focus been running like a kitten again?

Hey, no problem, I'm glad if I can help! Yes, I remember that I had to fork out a whopping €1000.0 for the repair of the defective control unit. It's quite a lot of money, but since then the Ford Focus has been running like clockwork, flawlessly and without a hitch. And because you also asked about the problem with the door contact signal: that has also been resolved since the visit to the mechanic. I don't know what exactly he did there, but the car no longer bounces around. So, maybe have your control unit checked. It's not cheap, but if it solves the problem, it's definitely worth it. Good luck!

Hey, thanks for the info! I think that will help me. 1000€ sounds steep, but if it runs again afterwards, I won't be stingy. Good to know that your Ford Focus didn't cause any more stress afterwards. Then I'll take my Kuga to the mechanic and address the issue with the control unit. Maybe that really is the solution to my problem. Really great, thanks again for your help!

Hey, interesting, you have a similar problem to mine with my 2017 Ford Focus. The car was also bouncing around and lying unsteadily. It was anything but a walk in the park. For me, the problem was ultimately a faulty control unit. It couldn't be traced back directly to the door contact, but what do I know. I'm not a mechanic, did a bit of research and then I also thought it could be the door contact. The mechanic then talked about the control unit. In my case, replacing the control unit got the car running again. So maybe have the control unit checked? Since my car is running again, I assume it was a serious matter. Hope this helps and good luck with your Kuga!
