Engine Stall Problems of Ford Ranger

Engine burning antifreeze, white smoke out of tailpipe, after a trip to the mechanic shop,a Ford company dealer near me. I was told this is a know problem with the v6 engine manufacturing due to poor metal quality for this particular engine code e. In must cases the repair involves engine replacement or installing a re manufactured cylinder head at a very high cost. Quality of the workmanship seems very poor. Engine mileage 91k miles which is not normal for engines to fail at such a low mileage.

The contact owns a 2001 Ford Ranger. While approaching a stop sign, the engine would idle violently and act as if it would continue to accelerate.

Several repairs, unknown to the contact were made to the vehicle; however, to date, the failure persists. The failure mileage was 130,000 and the current mileage was 140,000. Updated 02/23/10. The consumer also stated the engine would stall. Updated 08/12/10.

2003 Ford Ranger 4. 0l 4wd at. Two of the six valve seats in the engine dropped causing the engine to lose compression after less than 70k miles. Noticed loss of power, took it in and had to pay over $2k in repairs even though it was still under warranty. The valve seats were replaced. The problem was fixed but a few months later while merging to freeway speeds the car stalled and would not re-start. Towed it in to find that the engine had jumped timing and bent all six crank arms. Again, repairs were made. Top end of the engine was replaced including the cranks. This is ridiculous for a truck with less than $70k miles on. I feel the original repair costs upwards of $2,000. 00 should have been covered under the warranty as it was an internal engine issue and been reimbursed. Also a new engine should be installed or vehicle traded as this engine is obviously defective. All the meanwhile the main reason for taking the vehicle in for repairs three times prior was to fix the huge thump and delay on acceleration that almost caused me to get in an accident! the dealer said this was normal for 4wd trucks and there was nothing wrong with it. Yet every 4wd I've driven, even ones with over 100k miles on them, accelerate smoothly with no thumping or delay in acceleration. Nearing the expiration on my warranty due to mileage, I feel the dealership was trying to push the actual repairs off until then. They even said that the cause of the thump was that the transmission mounts were loose. So they "repaired" that but it had no effect and the issue still remains. This is where I stand currently and am trying to get the truck back in the shop, once again, to have this issue fixed so that I do not actually get in an accident. And to add to that, there is once again a loss in power, so we'll find out if the valve seats have once again dropped. . .

My 1999 Ford Ranger 4x4 with 3. 0 liter flex fuel engine began sputtering, running rough and overheating two days ago. I took it to haldeman Ford to be checked. They told me today there was water/coolant in at least one of the cylinders and the head(s) may be cracked, and I need a new or rebuilt engine. The truck has just over 95,000 miles on it. I had oil changes, coolant flushes, etc. At regular intervals. From what I have read on your website, and heard from others, this is a problem with the six cylinder engines Ford used in Rangers and explorers. They said it would be $6400 for a rebuilt engine installed. It seems this is most likely a manufacturing defect, but the folks at the dealer said no.

As I was turning a corner the vehicle suddenly appeared to lose power. I thought initially the engine had stalled and I coasted to the side of the road. The engine was still running however it would not accelerate out of idle and would stall when the accelerator was pressed. The vehicle would ilde along and I was forced to run on the shoulder of the road in idle the rest of the way home. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and two air sensors were replaced at my expense.
