Starter Problems of Ford Ranger

I bought my truck brand new last month on April 18th I have just over 1000 miles on it and within the first 400 miles I had problems with starting the truck, when I turn the key most of the time it starts, but occasionally if I let go of the key about the time it normally starts the engine dies and once when I attempted to start it again I heard the starter make the noise like it does if you turn the key and the engine is already running. Also my transmission will occasionally jerk when it shifts gears. I took the truck back to the dealer where I bought it at and they told me that the tech drove it and the shop manager drove it too and they could not reproduce the problem. I am still having this problem, I would hate to have the problem continue after the warranty expires and then I am stuck with a huge bill to fix it.

When attempting to change the oil filter, I apparently bumped a wire on the starter causing it to engage. Lucky the parking brake held letting it move only a short distance before distroying the starter. I received several injuries while attempting to get free of the vehicle to disconnect the battery. In inspecting the incident afterwards I found that by moving the wire less than ten thousands of an inch the starter can be engaged with the ignition off. If oil had been present at the time, a major fire could have occurred to repair the damage was $240 for labor and new started. The dealer has agreed to contact the Ford service agent, but no assurance that it would be covered under the warranty. If nothing else please warn other owners of this problem before someone get killed. Thank you.

A remote start was installed on vehicle, however when trying to start the vehicle after sitting overnight, the battery was dead, the consumer jump started the vehicle and was driving in icy conditions when the vehicle stalled and hit the vehicle in front of him, cartoys was the company that did the installation, they refunded the consumer for the price of the remote starter.
