Ford Kuga 2014: Accelerator and reverse not working
It sounds like a problem with the dual-clutch transmissions electronic control, so take the car to a Ford dealer and have it assessed. Turning the engine off and then restarting it again will often reboot the computer and fix the problem in the short term, but there is an underlying issue that needs to be fixed.

Toyota Kuga 2014: What's the best car to trade the Titanium for?
Are you trading simply because the nearest Ford dealership is two hours away? If that is the case, I would suggest you look at other service options locally, and think about having it serviced closer to home. It is five years old after all, so sticking with the dealer is not as important as it would be if the car were newer. If you are determined to trade I would suggest, in order, the Toyota, Nissan, Kia and Holden. All build cars of a similar quality and reliability to the Ford.

Ford Kuga 2014: Turbo problems
There are no lemon laws as such in Australia, and I don't believe you would have a claim on the basis of it not being fit for purpose. It really requires regular and repeated failures to qualify as a lemon or being unfit for purpose. But it is an expensive repair, just out of warranty, and at low kilometres. Give Ford a call and explain your concern, and request they cover the cost of the repairs as a gesture of goodwill.
