Ranger woes

[aitch]

Just got a 2015 ford ranger 3.2. had it 2 weeks and the gearbox has gone. Only done 28000 miles. No towbar fitted so it's not been too strained. It should be covered under ford warranty so more of a pain in the arse.

 

Anyone else had problems with their ranger gearbox?

Doubt they cover that. Ford warranty is hit and miss at the best of times.

Try asking on The Ford Ranger Forum transfer boxes loads of failures but few gearboxes oh an oil pumps....

Three of my electric windows stopped working on Friday! Amongst other stuff, I'm not over impressed with the car and I find that the dealer isn't worth a mention except a bad one!

Still waiting for new engine in mine (oil pump failure) - been 7 weeks and ford still have no idea how long it will take. Ford agreed to pay part as out of warranty but still leaves me with £5k bill. Just ordered a van as given up on ford. Ranger will be for sale when it's eventually returned. Worst vehicle I have ever owned by a long way. In 2.5 years had half shaft seal, abs unit, rear brakes and intercooler blew - oh and a battery.

Got the windows back, the security switch was down so I'm a bit embarrased about that. But yes, we have had our issues with two of the GreenMech Rangers, one had oil pump failure but he stopped in time - Ford paid for that. Mine lunched on the turbo and Ford paid for most of that, they and the dealer paid for a DPF in lieu of the complete shambles that there service department made of the deal. Even the girl from the Ford Relationship Centre was loosing faith in them!

 

While it is true that they have been okay apart from these two events, I would hesitate to get another Ford because the service departments leave a lot to be desired.

 

Ford Bristol Street in Redditch to be precise. Not over helpful at Sandicliffe in Loughborough and have been let down by Shepshed Ford who previously should a willingness to be helpful.

28K in two weeks is some serious driving . Did you sleep at all ?

Ford commercial dealers are the worst

I guess the cars must sell them selves so there not really interested

apparently you can adjust it or turn it off via the settings menu as someone else on here said they hated it too.
