On the date listed, the transmission failed to go into reverse. The repair shop told me that the Ford Ranger is notorius for transmission problems that include: 1. Failing to go into reverse, 2. Failing to go into forward after stopping, 3. Jumping gears, or slow gear changes. This information has been confirmed by other shops as well as a google search. In fact, the problem may be severly under reported as Ford dealerships may list as other problems and smaller shops may not link the problem. This is a very costly repair, so I'm sure Ford does not want to be forced to recall all of the Rangers, and it appears that this problem does affect several years of Rangers on the market. Please google Ford Ranger transmissions, and look at the amount of complaints. Look at the blogs and groups that are complaining about this issue, which if it involves the vehicle moving forward, could impact the passengers if the problem occurs on a freeway entrance ramp or subdivision streets. This is a widepsread problem that is under reported and is not being addressed, and it needs to be examined in more detail.

While driving between 50 and 55 mph, the transmission automatically shifts into neutral and the engine revs. The vehicle also shifts into neutral whenever the cruise control is engaged. The vehicle has been to the dealer twice regarding this failure. The dealer stated that the speed control recall repair was not the cause of the transmission failure.

My 2000 Ranger has just 50k miles, which exceeds the warranty, and already has major transmission problems, which has cost me $3000 dollars to repair. According to the transmission shop whom repaired my transmission, said "the damage did not happen over night; it was due to poor quality parts used by the manufacturer of the transmission. The damage began several thousand miles prior to, then resulted in transmission failure. " being that hundreds of others have experienced the same transmission problems as I have, and that it is obvious that Ford is aware of these transmission problems, which explains their sad warranties, and continues to use them in their new vehicles, which will lead to more robbing of innocent consumers, Ford needs to repair the problems at no cost to the consumer, and or stop using such poor quality parts in their products. Since these transmission problems began at the mfg. Level, I believe that Ford should reimburse the cost to repair my transmission.

Vehicle was going 70mph and shut down. Speed sensor signals is not to move at low and high speeds. Once it shuts down, it can start back up. It cost the consumer $200 to replace speed sensor. Transmission failed too.

While driving between my job in buffalo, NY, and my home in lexington, OH, I suffered a complete transmission failure and was forced to limp into a local Ford truck sales place. The failure occurred without any advanced warning and left me limping along at about 35-40 mph on the I-90 thruway during rush hour with heavy traffic traveling 65-70 mph. By the time I traveled the approximate 10 miles, I had totally lost reverse gear and had substantial slippage occuring in forward gears. Mechanics inspected the transmission and discovered severe damage to the transmission requiring it to be replaced. Ford tech consultants revealed that this is happening to many Ford Rangers, but no recall has been issued. Apparently, the torque on the transmission was increased without redesigning the transmission or seals to be able to withstand the higher torque. Therefore, transmission seals are failing under use, leading to severe damage of the transmission. Furthermore, Ford has no replacement parts available --- even though the damage occurred on 4/11/01, a new replacement transmission won't be available until at least 4/20/01, an unacceptable situation. Apparently my truck won't be able to be returned to me for several weeks. Ford tech consultants revealed that they are thinking about a recall, but haven't decided yet. My truck only has 9,200 miles on it --- I have had it less than 4 months. Please investigate and require Ford to assume its responsibilities by requiring a recall, by requiring timely repairs, and by assuming financial responsibility. I cannot provide the VIN number currently because I don't have the vehicle, although it should be able to be retrieved from hunter erie Ford truck sales of erie, PA or mark Ford of bellvile, OH. Thank you for your assistance.
