2002 Ford Ranger

I AM HAVING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH MY 6 MONTH OLD TRUCK. A STRANGE OIL LOSS THAT WAS LOOSING 1-2 QUARTS OF OIL A WEEK, NOW FIXED FOR THE MOMENT. THE CLUTCH DISENGAGES IF ANY PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE CLUTCH PEDAL AND WILL NOT ENGAGE UNTIL THE PEDAL IS FULLY RELEASED, DEALER CLAIMS ITS NORMAL. VARIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS HEAP, INCLUDING FAILING SENSORS, INTERIOR LIGHT COMING ON WHEN IT WANTS TO, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON OCCASIONALLY. THIS TRUCK HAS STARTING PROBLEMS SOMETIMES, YOU HAVE TO CRANK THE ENGINE FOR A LONG TIME(UP TO 30 SECONDS SOMETIMES) BEFORE IT WILL START. HAD TO HAVE A TIRE REPLACED WITH 1066 MILES ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE SOME OF THE TREAD WAS BEGINNING TO COME OFF, VEHICLE WAS REALIGNED AT THE SAME TIME TO CURE A PULL TO THE RIGHT WHICH DID NOTHING STILL PULLS TO THE RIGHT. I HAVE TRIED TO GET IN CONTACT OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO GET THIS VEHICLE REPLACED UNDER A LEMON LAW TO NO AVAIL. I GET TOLD A STORY AND PUT OFF, THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THIS THING FROM DOES THE SAME THING TRIES TO FIX IT TO NO AVAIL AND PUTS ME OFF. I PAID 15 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THIS TRUCK AND NOW MAY LOSE MY JOB BECAUSE IT IS NOT DEPENDABLE! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE THIS IS NOT HOW TO TREAT A REPEAT CUSTOMER, THIS BEING MY 4TH FORD PRODUCT AND MY LAST. *NLM

MY HUSBAND DRIVES A 2002 FORD RANGER TRUCK.. HE WAS IN A ACCIDENT ON 3/05/03 WHEN A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF HIS TRUCK HE WAS GOING APPROX. 35 TO 40 MPH, HE HIT HER CAR HARD ENOUGH TO FLIP HER CAR ON IT'S SIDE. MY COMPLAINT/CONCERN IS HIS AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, HE DID HAVE ON A SEAT BELT AND ONLY SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. MY CONCERN IS IF THIS HAD BEEN A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG NOT DEPLOYING. MY HUSBAND VOICED HIS CONCERNS WITH THE FORD SERVICE AND REQUESTED THAT THEY EVALUATE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM, THE TECHNICIAN CLAIMS SINCE THE ACCIDENT WAS NOT HEAD ON OR FULL FRONTAL HIT THAT THIS IS WHY IT DID NOT DEPLOY. AM UNABLE TO FIND INFO REGARDING THIS, SO WHY DID IT NOT DEPLOY. IS THIS A DEFECT OR NORMAL. *NLM

PURCHASED A NEW 2002 FORD RANGER 4X4 4DR XCAB WITH THE 4.0 ENGINE. VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION # [XXX], ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2002. AFTER COMING TO STOP, ENGINE HAS SURGED. FIRST TIME RPM WENT TO 1500 AND COULD KEEP THE TRUCK IN PLACE WITH BRAKE PRESSURE. TOOK TO DEALER FOR 3000 SERVICE IN DECEMBER AND REPORTED PROBLEM. DEALER PERFORMED NORMAL 3000 SERVICE AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS, HOWEVER THEY ASKED TO BE INFORMED IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS TIME ENGINE SURGED TO OVER 3000 RPM AND COULD NOT KEEP TRUCK STOPPED PUSHING INTO ANOTHER TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. WE HIT BUMPERS AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP MY TRUCK WAS TO SLAM THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK. ARE THERE ANY OTHER REPORTED PROBLEMS OF ENGINE SURGE LIKE THIS. USING REGULAR GASOLINE IN THE TANK. TAKING TRUCK BACK TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION. *JB INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
