| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My '97 ford ranger standard transmission exhibits high idle conditions while shifting between gears. my dealer was never able to fix the problem since i bought the vehicle new. my vehicle is no longer under bumper to bumper and emissions warranty but i have saved receipts of their attempts to fix the problem during time vehicle was warranted back in 1997. i recently discovered that the ford motor company has found the exact same high idle problem with their 1998 to 2000 model rangers and they issued a technical service bulletin tsb00-3-5. when i called my dealer to inquire and ask them to include my '97 ranger in the bulletin, they were evasive and wouldn't help. i would like to know what my options are. any help greatly appreciated. thank you. p.s. for your info, the technical service bulletin can be found at ( case sensitive, please type exactly) v8sho.com/sho/tsb00-3-5.html . *nlm |
