2002 Ford Ranger Edge review from North America
"This is our first Ford and so far is reliable and dependable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gear shaft sticks badly when returning to first gear.
The gear shaft is also hard to get into fifth gear when on the highway. This is very distracting when trying to get truck up to sixty plus miles per hour.
The red "Door Ajar" light will NOT turn off. Neither door is open and there is nothing obstructing the door from properly shutting. Dealer said this is common to happen if the fuse gets heated, but the light is on first thing in the morning, everyday!
Tailgate handle is somehow jammed, therefore does not lay down.
General comments?
No major problems "under the hood" at all so far.
Not roomy, the seats are small so is not recommended for couple with children. Bucket seats are uncomfortable.
Good on gas, it gets about 22-23 miles per gallon.
Truck is not a 4x4 and does not handle well in rainy weather, however overall drive and feel is smooth.
