One implication for Ford Kuga owner’s is that the value of these cars is likely to of dropped due to this recall. This means selling a ford Kuga 1.6 is unlikely to be profitable. There should also be an increasing number of Ford Kuga’s with the same issues, this will result in more claims which would increase insurance premiums on this type of insurance. Commissioner Ebrahim Mohamed say:“ The primary concern of the National Consumer Commission with the Ford Kuga is the safety and well-being of every customer. A product that poses any risk to our consumers does not have a place in our market place. Some owners of the Ford Kuga 1.6 said that some dealerships were unprepared to deal with the incidents happening with it.

However when I found out about the problems and difficulties Ford was facing with the particular car I have, I would rather be safe than sorry and trade my car in before any serious damage occurs and having the risk of myself losing a lot of money, but when I went to the dealership they said I would get nothing for my car and that if there was a problem they would not fix it. I was extremely dissatisfied and so I could not do anything so I carried on using my car to get around with the possible risk of it catching alight and unlucky for me it did exactly that. I now have burns on my body, no car to use and I am sitting with huge financial losses due to this
