Strange whistling noise from under the bonnet at 2300RPM upward. The dealer has fitted 2 replacement turbo's, reconditioned fuel injection pump, new viscous fan coupling, and lots of other parts fitted to try to fix the problem. The dealer has admitted that there is a loud noise from the engine, but cannot find out what it is. Ford have now told me that they will not be allowing the dealer to do anymore work on the vehicle under warranty, and that the noise happens in all Rangers.
Rear diff has clonked from new, and have been told by the dealer that they will not fix it until it actually breaks.
The dealer has had the vehicle for a total of over 5 weeks, and I have driven other Rangers and none of them make this noise.
I am totally disgusted with the way this has been dealt with by Ford Motor Co.
I will not buy another Ford in the future.
I have got a ford ranger pickup truckmyself. and they are nothing, but trouble, I had it break down the road several time. Had to get it tow in too. so I am gonna get rid of it and get me a Chevrolet truck or dodge one. no more ford for me.
I have an 02 ford ranger and my fan makes a scraping noise, around 2500rpms, and a ran my fingers inside the casing to find several deep gashes in the casing from where the fan has been hitting, but no one from any shop can tell me why so I know what you mean, the ranger has been nothing, but trouble for me and has cost me loads in repirs, get rid of the thing they are crap!!!
