My 2000 ranger has just 50k miles, which exceeds the warranty, and already has major transmission problems, which has cost me $3000 dollars to repair. According to the transmission shop whom repaired my transmission, said "the damage did not happen over night; it was due to poor quality parts used by the manufacturer of the transmission. The damage began several thousand miles prior to, then resulted in transmission failure." being that hundreds of others have experienced the same transmission problems as I have, and that it is obvious that ford is aware of these transmission problems, which explains their sad warranties, and continues to use them in their new vehicles, which will lead to more robbing of innocent consumers, ford needs to repair the problems at no cost to the consumer, and or stop using such poor quality parts in their products. Since these transmission problems began at the mfg. Level, I believe that ford should reimburse the cost to repair my transmission.

Transmission went out at 70749 miles. Purchased 04/11/2003. On 09/15/2003 noticed transmission slipping, made appt for 09/18 with dealership where I purchased it used. Transmission went out on a busy intersection and had to be pushed to the side by police and towed to dealership to make my appt. Cost $3113 to replace - dealer basically "to bad for you". Also - AC condenser needs replacing at a cost of $570 cannot afford to do condenser yet.... This has been a very expensive vehicle so far, we've owned it less than 6 months!

While driving transmission would rev, then vehicle would lurch forward. Dealer replaced transmission. 6 weeks later , same thing happened. Transmission was replaced again, transmission lasted less than one hour. Currently, transmission is being replaced for the third time.

We took our ranger in on 11/28/01 because there was a squealing noise, service derpart. Could not hear it. Took it back on 01/07/02 because noise got worse. They found that there was no grease in the inner bearing on both side of the front wheels "see other complaint odi id: 734299 from someone else" it has feathering and cupping on the tires also they cant seem to fix. . They also found on 01/07/02 that the seal on the assembly transmission extension was leaking. It had a flange seal put on the differential at 2945 mile, the other side of the drive line. See my other complaint odi id: 754342. Transmission went out at 2945 miles. We feel this ranger is unsafe to drive.

Both front tires wearing, feathering and cupping. Aligned twice and had tires rotated twice and they are still wearing, cupping and feathering. These tires are going to be shredded before I hit 25,000 miles. We do not drive our truck except for short trips around town because we do not trust tires and wear on this vehicle. We were told by the ford service dept. That ford will never replace the tires under any circumstances. We feel this truck they way the tires are wearing makes it very unsafe to drive but we are put in a position and have to drive it so we can show the tires are wearing severely. We feel this puts our lives in danger. The transmission went out at 2945 miles. Elk grove ford where we bought the vehicle told us they put on a new transmission and discovered it was rebuilt. They refused to give us a receipt until we went through the better business bureau. They put on crossbar holding transmission mount crooked, they overfilled the transmission fluid. We took it back three times for leaky transmission pan gasket on rebuilt transmission.

This truck has numerous problems with it including the ones that I have listed. I have owned the truck since june 9th, and it has been in the shop for over 55 consecutive days. Transmission failed twice/ instrument cluster failed, and speed control failed.the dealer and manufactor is laying blame on me for these problems. I do not feel safe driving this truck, the first time the transmission went I was in the middle of a very busy intersection and was almost hit. The second time which was a month after they had it in the shop I was going to important training for the u.s. Coast guard, and it failed. The first time they had the truck for 20 days and the second time they have had it for over 35 days now and I still don't have it. There are numerous problems, that they aren't even telling me about. The dealer isn't helping me with this at all. I want to get out of this vehicle since I have only had it since june and they will not help there blaming me for all the problems.
