| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: According to the mechanic a defective plug in transmission caused fluid to leak out, thus failure of transmission occurred. i was stranded on the interstate at 3:30am, fortunately no accident occurred as the trucks transmission locked up going 65mph. ford declines any problem with the transmission plug. however, the mechanic mentioned the same problem occurring on other rangers he has fixed. i found (online) other complaints about ranger transmissions. due to the faulty plugs, a gradual leak occurs, unoticable to the average person. this could become a hazardous situation for those traveling on the interstate or highways, especially if the vehicles engine dies, because the steering locks up when the engine quits. i would simply like for all ranger owners to be aware of this situation. i realize that ford will do little or nothing about this situation, but some good old fashion customer satisfaction would be nice. |
