THIS IS THE SECOND RANGER I HAVE OWNED THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE GEARS IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ARE GRINDING AND THE PINS ARE LOOSE. I HAD SHOP TAKE OFF REAR DIFF COVER AND THEY VERIFIED METAL SHAVINGS/SHARDS IN OIL AND LOOSE DIFFERENTIAL PINS. IF THE PINS/GEARS LOCK UP THE REAR WHEELS COULD LOCK UP AND CAUSE WRECK. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE THIS ISSUE FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION MODEL RANGERS BUT NOT AUTO TRANSMISSION MODELS. LOOK AT CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND YOU WILL SEE OTHERS WHO HAVE SAME ISSUE WITH AUTO TRANS MODELS (I AM SURE OTHER SOURCES HAVE SAME COMPLAINTS). LOOKS LIKE SAME PARTS WERE USED IN BOTH MODELS BUT ONLY ONE WAS RECALLED.

I, AMONG OTHERS OWN A FORD RANGER XLT 4.0 LITER. I RECENTLY REPLACED MY BATTERY AND LOST MY FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. AFTER SOME INVOLVED RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH FELLOW 2001, 2002 RANGERS. FORD'S REFUSAL TO CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ENGINEERING FLAW IS UNSAFE, UNFAIR, AND UNACCEPTABLE. FORD IS MAKING A FORTUNE FROM THIS UNFORTUNATE SITUATION AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THIS IS CRIMINAL!

MY FORD 2002 RANGER EDGE PICK UPS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT GEARS UNDER ACCELERATION SUCH AS TAKING OFF FROM A LIGHT OR MERGING ON INTO TRAFFIC. THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT FROM ONE GEAR THAN NOT GO INTO GEAR LEAVING VEHICLE ON OF GEAR AND WITHOUT FORWARD MOTION. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS GETTING ACROSS INTERCEPTIONS AND ONTO THE HIGHWAY. HAVE TO REMOVE FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR FOR SEVERAL SECONDS FOR TRANSMISSION TO FIND A GEAR TO SHIFT INTO. FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS SOME SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING SHIFTING ISSUES BUT FALL WAY SHORT OF CORRECTING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS AND IS AN ON GOING ISSUE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW.

I HAVE A 2002 FORD RANGER, SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT THE AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND THEN THE O/D LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING REALLY HARD INTO SECOND GEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACED AND THE AIRBAG SWITCH WAS BAD.. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION SINCE IT CAME OUT. IT IS A SEALED TRANSMISSION, IN THAT,THE FLUID CANT BE CHECKED. IT'S VERY POORLY DESIGNED AND FORD DOESN'T WANT TO DO A RECALL EVEN THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM....

AT APPROX. 26,500 MILES VEHICLE MADE POPPING/CLUNK SOUND ACCOMPANIED BY A JERKING MOVEMENT WHEN TURNING. ESPECIALLY SLOW TURNS AFTER MAKING A STOP. SOUND CAME FROM REAR END. 1 OR BOTH REAR TIRES WOULD BIND IN SLOW CORNERS AND SKID. FORD DEALER CONFIRMED BROKEN GEARS IN DIFFERENTIAL. 2002 RANGER EXT. CAB WITH MANUAL TRANS, 4 CYL, 2WD. $1,650 TO REPAIR. FORD WILL NOT ASSIST IN PAYING FOR ANY PART OF THIS. EVIDENTLY FORD IS SATISFIED WITH THEIR BREAD AND BUTTER TRUCKS FAILING SO QUICKLY. THIS IS HOW THEY LOSE A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE, BY NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. TOO MANY REPORTS OF THIS FAILURE FOR IT NOT TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY FORD. VERY ANGRY, FORD, YOUR HUGE LOSSES ARE WELL DESERVED.

I HAVE A 2002 FORD RANGER THAT WHEN I GOT THE TRUCK IT HAD TO HAVE THE SLAVE CYLINDER FOR THE CLUTCH REPLACED WHICH THE DEALER DID, AND THE TRUCK ONLY HAD 18,000 MILES, BUT THEN AGAIN BEFORE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY RAN OUT, IT WENT OUT AGAIN AT ABOUT 52000 MILES, AND NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN, AT 66,000 MILES, THE SLAVE CYLINDER AGAIN FOR THE CLUTCH, AND I AM NOT NEW TO DRIVING MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, I AM 47 AND LEARNED TO DRIVE ON A MANUAL TRANSMISSION WHEN 16, IT ALSO UPSETS ME THAT FORD SAID MY EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE SECOND REPAIR DID NOT COVER THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER, AND I DO NOT BELIEVE A VEHICLE SHOULD REQUIRE THIS PART TO BE REPLACED APPROXIMATELY EVERY TWENTY OR THIRTY THOUSAND MILES. I ALSO BELIEVE SINCE I PURCHASED A MANUAL WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED, MY SON ALSO HAS A 2000 FORD RANGER AND HE RECENTLY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WE BOTH HAVE THE V6 WITH 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION.
