Starting from home, the vehicle had no indication of trouble lights in the instrument panel. Then, driving about 2 miles and up the bridge, suddenly the vehicle slowly came to a stop within quick time and stalled on the uphill direction. A few attempts to restart, I was not successful. The police was called and came to push the ranger down the bridge to the safety area and waiting two hours later for the tow-truck to tow to the ford dealer. And, the diagnosis was that the fuel pump is out. This vehicle had histories of repair since the first year and thereafter .

At 56,000 miles, this is the third time my truck has developed engine spontaneous racing even while in gear. This is a hazardous condition with potential injury/fatality. Occurred at 22 k mi, 45 k mi, and now at 56 k mi. When it occurs vehicle wants to race ahead and crash unless taken out of gear when the engines races and sometimes won't stop unless I intentionally stall or turn off the engine while in traffic. It is not an incident, it is ongoing. I have used the dealer repair shop exclusively. They replaced the throttle position connector at 22k mi. They referred to technical service bulletin 00-3-5. I, of course, would like this fixed permanently as it gradually recurs more and more often to the point of several times a day.

Counting the current ranger, is has been my fourth. I've owned 94', 96', 98' and 00' rangers, I've never experienced as many problems with them as I have with the 00' model year. The cruise control still operates like in the 96' and 98' model but the cruise control keys no longer light up, so at night I have no clue what each of the four buttons is supposed to do. I took the vehicle into the dealership and was advised that all the comonents were there light bulbs wires etc....except that a positive feed to the lights on the buttons was not suplied and this was a "new" feature on the 00' model year. I think is an outrage that such a "cool" option which actually has a purpose has been deleted. My other problem with this vehicle is the transfer case, it failed at 500 miles of operation the truck was less then a month old!!!, I was advised by the dealer had I used the 4x4 thing could have been ugly!!!..I hope is just an isolated incident!!!. Also I'm having problems with the engine, sometimes when putting the truck in drive or reverse from a complete stop it stalls....it just dies!!!!!...usually I have to crank it a few seconds before it starts, also a few times the idle speed has increased from under 1000rpm's to over 2000rpm's while the truck is in idle and warmed up, what is causing this I do not know.

I bought a 2000 ford ranger trailhead in may 2000.since I drove it off the lot ,it has been stalling whenever I push in the clutch to stop or turn a corner.this only happens when the gastank is at or above 3/4 of a tank.three times I`ve taken it back to the dealer,and I was told there is a problem with the idle,but they don`t know how to fix it.on the third time picking up my truck,I was told that there was no problem.it stalled 5 times on my way home! I even talked to ford reps.about it and still haven`t heard a thing back. If I can`t get the dealership or ford to recognize the stalling problem,what do I do?please help me?

While coming to stop, downshifting or making a turn, vehicle stalled unexpectedly which may have caused a crash. Dealer could not determine the cause. Fuel line broke, causing a fuel leakage which may have caused a fire if there was a source of ignition. Please provide further information.
