2002 Ford Ranger Complaint Log

IN A FRONTAL COLLISION AT 40-50 MPH, NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED ON IMPACT, RESULTING IN INJURIES.*AK *TT

VEHICLE WAS GOING 40-45MPH AND UPON IMPACT, PASSENGER'S FRONT TIRE FELL DUE TO CARTER PIN POSSIBLY NOT BEING ATTACHED. BRACKET WHERE THE CARTER PIN WAS HELD DIDN'T SHOW ANY INDENTATIONS OR FRAGMENT PIECES OF PIN BEING IN TACK. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, AND STATED IT WAS VERY UNUSAL FOR THIS TYPE OF IMPACT. *AK *JG

TRANSMISSION WILL JUMP GEARS WHILE IN PARK AND SURGE FORWARD WITH NO WARNING. CAUSE UNKNOWN. DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK

COVER ON BED OF PICKUP FLEW UP WHILE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH. WHEN WIND GOT UNDER THE COVER IT LIFTED THE BACK OF VEHICLE A FEW INCHES BEFORE FALLING BACK DOWN. CONTACTED DEALER. *AKI

A GRINDING NOISE WOULD COME FROM TRANSMISSION WHEN GEAR CHANGES FROM 1ST TO 2ND, AND SEVERE VIBRATION WOULD OCCUR WHEN DRIVING 65 -70 MPH. VEHICLE BEEN TO DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AND NO CORRECTION COULD BE FOUND AT THIS TIME. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

I TOOK MY 1 YEAR AND 2 MONTH OLD RANGER TO THE DEALERSHIP TO CORRECT A PROBLEM I HAD BEEN HAVING WITH IT NOT GOING INTO GEAR. THE CONDESCENDING MAN AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME AFTER A 5 MINUTE LOOK AT MY TRUCK THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE MY CLUTCH REPLACED, AND THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 2 MONTHS. IN CALLING AROUND TO GET PRICES ON THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUTCH, I WAS ALMOST UNANIMOUSLY TOLD THAT IT WAS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A CLUTCH GO OUT IN A VEHICLE IN THAT SHORT OF A TIME PERIOD, WHEN IT HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED, WHICH MINE HAS NOT. IN RESEARCHING THIS, I HAVE FOUND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE CLUTCH ON THE 2002 FORD RANGER 3.0. *JB

SUDDEN STOP WITH BRAND NEW VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH ABS, BRAKES IMMEDIATELY LOCKED AND VEHICLE SLID SIDEWAYS.*AK

THE VEHICLES ENGINE IDLES ROUGHLY WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE. I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM INSTANTLY AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD TAKEN IT IN TO DEAN SELLERS FORD IN TROY MICHIGAN WITH 500 MILES ON IT AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A NEW ENGINE FOR THE RANGER, AND IT WAS SUPPOSE TO DRIVE LIKE THAT. HOWEVER, AFTER CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND EXPERIENCING STALL OUTS I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY ENGINE. I STARTED UP OTHER RANGERS AT OTHER DEALERSHIPS AND YES, WHEN FIRST STARTED THE IDLING IS ROUGH BUT THEN KICKS DOWN TO A NORMAL RUNNING IDLE. I HAVE HAD A SERVICE TECH. AGREE WITH ME THAT THE IDLING SEEMS TO BE ROUGH ON MY VEHICLE BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN FOUND TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. NOR HAS ANYTHING BEEN FOUND ON THE STALL OUTS. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED "JOLTING" OR "SURGES" OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. ATTEMPTING TO SPEED UP 5 OR 10 MPH PRODUCES A JOLT FORWARD AS THOUGH YOU HAVE GUNNED THE ENGINE, AT TIMES IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS SPEEDING UP ON IT'S OWN. I TRULY BELIEVE FORD IS MANUFACTURING FAULTY ENGINES WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND I AM COMPLETELY 100% UNSATISFIED WITH MY PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED A 1995 RANGER AND HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THAT YEAR LINE. SOMEONE OF AUTHORITY NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS VEHICLE AND CONSUMERS SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THE MANY ISSUES FORD HAS WITH RANGER ENGINES. YOUR ASSISTANCE AND POWER IS MUCH APPRECIATED.*AK

WHILE TURNING A CORNER THE VEHICLES ENGINE SHUTS OFF. VEHICLE WILL START RIGHT UP AGAIN, CONSUMER FEELS UNSAFE BECAUSE THE BRAKES AND STEERING GO OUT. CAUSE OF STALLING IS UNKNOWN. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. MR

REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS BLEW OUT. DEALER HAS REPAIRED VEHICLE. *AK

WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING INTENSE HEAT COMES FROM THE DASHBOARD. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER UNABLE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *YH

VEHICLE HAS A SLIGHT VIBRATION AT 65 MPH THAT INCREASES IN SEVERITY AS SPEED INCREASES. AT 85 MPH IT HAS A VERY PRONOUNCED VIBRATION THAT MUST BE CONSIDERED DANGEROUS. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO DEALER FOUR TIMES. THE DEALER ESSENTIALLY TOLD CUSTOMER THAT FORD WOULD NOT WARRANTY A VEHICLE OVER THE LEGAL SPEED LIMIT. THIS WAS THE FINAL ANSWER AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO CONVINCE THE CUSTOMER OF OTHER CAUSES, MOST OF WHICH WERE ESSENTIALLY RIDICULOUS. (THE CUSTOMER WAS IN THE AUTO REPAIR BUSINESS FOR 17 YEARS.) THE CUSTOMER TOOK THE TECHNICIAN FOR A TEST DRIVE TO DEMONSTRATE THE SEVERE VIBRATION. THE TECHNICIAN PROPOSED THE POSSIBILITY OF A DEFECTIVE REAR DRIVE LINE. THE TECHNICIAN'S SUPERVISOR THEN DROVE THE VEHICLE HIMSELF THEN STATED THE VEHICLE DEFINITELY HAD A PRONOUNCED VIBRATION, BUT FORD WOULD NOT WARRANTY THE PROBLEM. SINCE THE VIBRATION WAS DISCOVERED WHILE PASSING AN OBVIOUSLY INTOXICATED DRIVER (FOR SAFETY REASONS), THE CUSTOMER DEFINITELY CONSIDERS THIS A SAFETY HAZARD. AFTER VIEWING SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS AT THE NHTSA SITE, IT IS ALL TO OBVIOUS THAT THIS ANSWER/REFUSAL IS BECOMING A VERY COMMON PRACTICE AMONG FORD DEALERS. *PH *NLM **DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS**769763

I HAD A PINGING,THEY CHANGED A SENSOR, IT WENT AWAY FOR A WHILE AND NOW IT IS BACK, THEN THEY CLEANED THE CARBON OUT OF THE ENGINE AND NOW IT SURGES, AND STILL PINGS. THEY PUT IT ON A MACHINE AND THE MACHINE SAID IT IS OK. I AM NOT SATISFIED. *JB

ON 02-21-2010 MY 2002 FORD RANGER STARTED ON FIRE. I WAS RETURNING HOME WITH IN LESS THEN 5MINS MY CAR WAS BURST INTO FLAMES. AFTER THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME TO MY AID THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT OF MY TRUCK. I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD IN 12-2010 AND TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THIS WAS 3 WEEKS BEFORE THE FIRE. EVEN WITH THE RECALL MY TRUCK BURST INTO FLAMES LEAVING NOTHING BUT THE FRAME. *TR

AT 55 TO 60 MPH VEHICLE JERKS AND LUNGES. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER,AND THEY STATED THIS WAS NORMAL. *AK CONSUMER BELIEVES THAT THE VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE. *YH

I GET 14 MILES TO THE GAL ON THE FREEWAY THE STICKER SAID 19. THE ENGINE SHAKES AT IDLE. IT HAS A LEAN IDLE MISS. THE SHAKING IS VERY BAD AT TIMES. TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT RIGHT, CAUSING BAD GAS MILEAGE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS THEY ALL SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. BUT 14 MILES TO THE GAL IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.*AK

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2002 FORD RANGER. ON MARCH 11, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AS I WAS TURNING AROUND NEAR THE NEW PHILADELPHIA POST OFFICE AROUND MY LUNCHTIME. I HAD MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. I ENDED UP HITTING THE CONCRETE RAMP AT THE TUSCARAWAS COUNTY EDUCATIONAL BUILDING. THE TIRES CONTINUED TO SPIN EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS TO THE FLOOR AND I WAS HITTING THE CONCRETE BARRIER! THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAD EXPERIENCED THIS HOWEVER THE FIRST TIME I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING I JUST JUMPED THE CURB AT MY APARTMENT. I THOUGHT THE FIRST TIME WAS MY ERROR BECAUSE I HADN'T BEEN USED TO DRIVING A TRUCK. ALSO, AFTER THE FIRST TIME I WASHED MY TRUCK I NOTICED PAINT CHIPPING OFF OF THE FLARE... ONLY THE CLEAR COAT IS CHIPPING... I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO FORD (HUMPHRIES) AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS BUT WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE DENTED BUMPER BECAUSE FORD ADVISED THEM THERE WERE NO RECALLS. FORD HAS ALSO SENT ME A LETTER STATING IT IS AN INSURANCE MATTER. MY GOAL IS THIS: I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING TO GET THE PROBLEMS FIXED. I WANT THE DENTED BUMPER REPAIRED AND THE CHIPS IN THE FLARE REPAIRED. I DO NOT HAVE $500 TO WAIT TO BE REIMBURSED ON EITHER. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO HELP ME? NLM

WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 40 AND 45 MPH VEHICLE HIT A PATCH OF BLACK ICE, AND DRIVER LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF TRUCK. FRONT END CRASHED INTO A WALL AND SPUN AROUND. UPON IMPACT, BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. TWO OCCUPANTS OF VEHICLE SUSTAINED BACK INJURIES. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN EXAMINED TO DETERMINE CAUSE FOR FAILURE OF AIR BAGS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / DOCUMENTATION.*AK

THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED WHILE DRIVING. CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL, AND NOTICED THAT IT WAS VERY LOW. I BROUGHT THE FLUID LEVEL TO NORMAL LEVELS, AND NOTICED THAT IT LEAKS TRANSMISSION FLUID VERY BADLY.

I HAVE A 2002 FORD RANGER, I HAVE TOOK IT IN 4 TIMES FOR SERVICE ON THE BRAKES.THEY TELL ME NOW THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG, BUT THE SHAKING STERING WHEEL CONTINUES. LONG LEWIS FORD OF MUSCLE SHOALS,AL IS THE DEALER.

THE CLUTCH FAILED WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES, WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. TOWED TO DEALER. *YD

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK, VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY NINE MILES AND WENT FROM A FULL TANK TO LESS THAN A HALF TANK OF GAS. VEHICLE WAS COVERED IN GASOLINE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. AFTER REVIEW OF NHTSA WEB SITE IDENTIFIED THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. CONCERNS WERE RAISED WITH REPAIRING DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS SELLING DEALERSHIP. REQUESTED FAILURE ANALYSIS OF FAILED PART TO DETERMINE ROOT CAUSE OF FAILURE, INFORMED THAT DEALERSHIPS DO NOT HAVE PERSONNEL TRAINED TO DO THIS. INFORMED DEALERSHIPS THAT I DO NOT FEEL VEHICLE IS SAFE AND WOULD LIKE THEM TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK DUE TO IT ONLY BEING 35 DAYS OLD AND 1700 MILES, TOLD THEM THAT I WOULD CONSIDER THE PURCHASE OF A DIFFERENT FORD VEHICLE. WAS INFORMED THAT FORD DOES NOT HAVE A BUY BACK PROGRAM AND ANY NEGOTIATION WOULD HAVE TO BE DONT WITH REGIONAL FORD REP. WAITED UNTIL 12/11 TO HER FROM REP AND SHE WAS IN A MEETING AND TOLD ME SHE WOULD CALL ME BACK. AFTER NOT HEARING FROM REP FOR OVER A WEEK I BEGAN TO LEAVE HER VOICE MAIL AND STILL DID NOT GET A RETURN CALL. CONTINUED TO CALL CUSTOMER RELATIONS LINE AND DEALERSHIP AND STILL DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING ON MY CONCERN. FINALLY HEARD FROM FORD REP ON 12/15 AND WAS OFFERED AND ESP 5 YRS 75K MILES, INFORMED REP THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE DUE TO THE LENGTH OF MY TIME THAT WAS WASTED ON THIS ISSUE. REP INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL LINE ON THE RANGER, I INFORMED REP THAT THERE ARE OTHER DOCUMENTED CASES OF THIS ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE. FORD REP BECAME DEFENSIVE AND ENDED UP HANGING UP ON ME. WHILE WAITING TO HEAR FROM THIS REP I REQUESTED A DSB APPLICATION AND IT TOOK THREE REQUESTS TO FINALLY GET ONE, THIS TOOK FROM 12/21 UNTIL 01/16 TO RECIEVE, NEVER RECIEVED A PHONE CALL FROM DEALERSHIP AFTER REQUESTING DSB APP AS INFORMED BY CUSTOMER LINE THAT I WOULD. CURRENTLY IN PROCESS OF SUBMITTING DSP APP. PROBLEM UNRESOLVED PENDING RESULTS OF DSB. *AK

FORD IS KNOWINGLY SELLING A DEFECTIVE ENGINE IN THEIR FORD RANGER. MY FACTORY ORDERED TRUCK HAS WHAT COULD BE DESCRIBED AS A SEVERE, CONSTANT "ROUGH IDLE". I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER A NUMBER OF TIMES (THE FIRST TIME WAS 2 DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED IT). FORD HAS SENT THEIR DISTRICT ENGINEER TO LOOK AT THIS ISSUE. HE PERFORMED A "G-FORCE" TEST WHICH REGISTERED 0.6. FORD SERVICE AGREES THAT IT HAS THIS ISSUE. FORD'S STANCE IS THAT ALL 2002 RANGERS HAVE THIS ISSUE (NUISANCE IS THE WORD THEY USED) AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING TO "FIX" IT. THE ENGINEER TOLD ME THAT FORD IMPLEMENTED "SOFTER" MOTOR MOUNTS TO TRY AND ALLIEVIATE THIS ISSUE WHICH MY TRUCK ALREADY HAD. SO FORD IS VERY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. THE MODEL I TEST DROVE DID NOT EXHIBIT THIS ISSUE. FORD'S STANCE IS THAT IT IS MY FAULT FOR BUYING THIS VEHICLE. IN OTHER WORDS, IF I WANTED A SMOOTHER IDLING ENGINE, I SHOULD HAVE PURCHASED A DIFFERENT MANUFACTUER'S VEHICLE. THIS MAY NOT BE THE PROPER FORUM FOR THIS TYPE OF ISSUE, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE THE GOVERNMENT AWARE OF WHAT FORD IS TRYING TO PUT OVER ON THE CONSUMER. AS FAR AS FORD'S CONTENTION THAT "THEY ALL DO THIS" I WOULD HAVE TO DISAGREE. I HAVE BEEN TO ALL THE "RANGER" FORUMS AND USER SITES AND NO ONE IS REPORTING THIS ISSUE ON THEIR 2002 RANGERS. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN.*AK
