Ford Ranger

"4 wheel drive would not engage, The small motor to engage it was "burned out". Repair was about $700"

"Truck has been off road and on forest service roads 98% of the last 130000 miles. Many times pushing through 3 and 4 feet of snow for many miles at a time. Driven on road with 2 foot brush growing in them. have to do a little work on It. Great truck"

"The pinion seal was leaking and I lost nearly all differential lube."

"U joints bad"

"i have the fx4 package. the rear pumpkin, axle tubes and drive axles are specific to this year and trim package (along w/ fx4 level2 for 2003). there are NO replacement axles to be had. OEM or aftermarket. NONE. all that $ spent due to a bad batch of"

"For some reason my car must be in "overdrive" at all times my mechanic had to disable the switch for "overdrive" because he was unable to find out why a fuse would always blow when shifting gears (automatic)"

"a/c does not turn on i.e. compressor engage for several miles after starting the engine. i've been told it is most likely a high pressure switch is bad"

"oil leak, and 4-wheel drive motor"

"Transfer case locked up in 4WD on a long trip due to driver error and misunderstood symptoms for more than a year until getting it diagnosed and dealing with collateral impact on drivetrain"

"The Motorola electronic unit, that shifted into 4WD stopped working and I was unable to switch 4WD (either 4HI or 4LO). The unit needed to be replaced."

"clear coat peeling, normal for the color white. Again Ford is aware of the problem, no help offered"

"Frame issues that failed PA state inspection. Required welding and reconstruction in four areas including supporting the fuel tank and replacing spring hangers"

"I've found out from a body shop the 2002 Ford Ranger have all showed rust in the same spots"

"It is not a matter of cab & bed rust. The major problem has been a long experience with the frame rusting. It now has caused a couple problems with rust perforation. Brackets and attachments are failing."

"Water leaking in from rear window"

"Water leaks into cab from rear window"

"Wiring problem under drivers seat"

"Will not unlock the passenger side door. Have to unlock from inside"

"Stopped working. Have to use key"

"When you move passenger side seat, the seatbelt light comes on and stays on"

"Squeaks on rough roads"

"Ford replaced the transmission at 28000. Had to have another replacement at 148000"

"Transmission probably needs rebuild. Rear "worm" gear needs to be replaced"

"Water pump gasket failed, I also replaced the pump."

"heater core leak"

"cam synchronizer assy. failed"

"So the main computer chip started putting out 1.1 volts instead of normal 0.4(?) volts. This caused too hot of ignition in two plugs which evaporated valve seats which caused engine failure at 70 mph. required head build and engine cylinder redo. After rebuild, still acting flakey and found the computer oervoltage problem. Another $1100."

"Plugs and wires were from factory; never changed."

"The engine leaks oil and it drips on the ground under the vehicle"

"The clutch hydraulic line leaked into the bell housing so much that the clutch became unUSble. We had to replace the clutch line, clutch, and flywheel"

"Right after the tranny was rebuild"

"The timing chains tensioners have all failed. It's a ridiculously expensive job to pull the motor from the truck for replacement. After doing some research this is a very common problem of part failure. My current decision is to replace motor or not"
