2002 Ford Ranger Edge from North America - Comments

"A great looking, reliable workhorse"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Total transmission failure at 8000 km. Had to be hauled to the dealer.

Transmission still jumps from gear to gear sometimes even after the repair. Ford must have transmission problems as my 1993 Ranger did the same.

Belt molding kept falling off on the driver's side door.

General comments?

Great looks in the Edge package.

Put a fiberglass lid on the bed and a bush grille on the front. I get a lot of complements on the looks of the truck.

The gas consumption is a little high, but it is to be expected for a V6 engine.

Ford still has not learned that "service" is part of the purchase. Every dealer I seem to go to either tries to rip me off or does not do the repair properly. My I suggest that Ford goes to a Toyota dealership one day and take some notes on service.

I had a 1993 Ranger and got almost 300000 km out of it.

Update - The truck has now had another complete transmission failure. This time Ford must have had too many and changed the material of some part in the transmission. they refused to replace the transmission and insisted that the transmission was OK. I will be ready to fight when the transmission fails again!!

My 96 ranger also had transmission problem at 48,000km, had to be rebuilded.

Wipers came on by them self at 50,000km. cover by Warranty.

Idle fluctuated at 53,000km cost $200.00 to fix.

72,000km alls well so far.
