Ford Ranger 2003 Fuel System, Other Storage Fuel Gauge System Review #10043145

FORD RANGER 2003 car safety problem was reported on Sept 11, 2003.FORD RANGER 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM . after driving 52 miles (10 miles city & 42 miles highway) with a full tank of fuel, the fuel gauge shows that the vehicle used 1/4 tank of fuel. vehicle gets between 17 & 20 miles to the gallon. approximate range per 1/4 tank should be between 83 & 98 miles. vehicle has a 19.5 gallon fuel tank. the fuel gauge comes off of full very quickly and when filling the tank with the fuel gauge in the red (just off of empty) it will only take 13.7 gallons of fuel. the tank has been drained and filled to verify that the tank is a 19.5 tank. the fuel gauge and fuel meter have also been replaced without any change in the condition. was advised by ford that this is normal operation even though there is a service bulletin (nhtsa # 0179/ford #01-11-2) to address this exact concern for 2001 model year ford rangers. the summary description states: some vehicles built before 3/26/2001 may exhibit a fuel gauge that drops from full too fast or indicates less than the actual fuel left in he tank (excessive tank reserve). was advised that this approximate 6 gallon reserve was there to allow the customer to make it to a filling station safely with the tank on e. this is telling me that when the tank reads almost empty there is still over a quarter tank of fuel in the tank. with the gauge reading this way you are not sure how much fuel you have. for the price of vehicles, consumers should not have to rely on calculating their mileage and using the odometer to guess there fuel range. i thought this was the purpose of the fuel gauge. *la.Mileage was 5621 miles.

( i did not have my foot on the throttle pedal) yesterday, the third time this has occurred. i kept my foot on the brake and the rpm increased to approximately 3000. smoke emitted from the right wheel brake because of the rotation of the tire in opposition to my application of the brake. i had not been using the cruise control and was stopping from a relatively low speed of 5 mph either at a stop sign or in front of my office in all three incidents. yesterday when parking in front of my office the engine rpm stayed constant and did not drop to idle.( during the previous two times the engine rpm surged and then returned to idle within 1 second.) however yesterday after approximately 5 seconds of constant high engine rpm i moved the gear shift lever of the automatic transmission from the drive position to the neutral position. the rpm then returned to idle speed and the transmission no longer attempted to involuntarily propel the vehicle in the forward position. i then immediately drove the truck to the conway-heaton ford dealer in bardstown kentucky for a warranty repair. *la.Mileage was 21800 miles.

FORD RANGER 2003 car safety problem was reported on Dec 15, 2004.FORD RANGER 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION . there is no incident and perhaps this may not be the correct place to file this complaint but you can be the judge of that. my complaint is i own a 2003 ford ranger 4wd super cab with goodyear factory installed tires which are wearing unusually (cupping/chopping). tires have been rotated by ford dealer, balanced, proper air pressure maintained and alignment checked. vehicle has 16,500 miles on it. tires are causing vibration and noise. i believe there is a safety hazard because i can't feel or hear if another component is failing. dealer has told me he sees an average of 6 ford rangers with the same problem each week. ford tells me there is no recall or directive to replace the tires and they will not replace them. goodyear tells me that ford has issued a broadcast service bulletin to its dealers to replace these tires with a larger size. have no access to this bulletin but questioned ford customer service and they said they have no access to broadcast bulletins. ford customer service said this type of tire is not expected to wear normally because of its design. why then put it on the vehicle? conversation with ford was on the phone and i should have written exactly what they said but this is pretty much it. if the dealer is seeing this many vehicles each week there must be a huge problem somewhere. *jb.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FTZR45E03T.

FORD RANGER 2003 car safety problem was reported on May 18, 2007.FORD RANGER 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING . while driving north on i-17 headed to flagstaff, az, at 60+ mph, the engine on my 2003 ford ranger suddenly cut out without any warning. this caused me to have to navigate my vehicle from the left lane over to the right shoulder of the highway without the benefit of power steering or any engine power. fortunately, i was able to get onto the shoulder without incident or injury. if the highway had been more crowed this could have led to an accident. after being towed to a ford dealer, i found out that the electrical connection to the fuel pump, which is routed under the passenger floor board, had become frayed and disconnected, thereby shutting down the fuel pump. as the mechanic who serviced my ranger seemed to be familiar with this problem, i wonder why there ins't a recall for this potentially dangerous problem..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 45891 miles.

FORD RANGER 2003 car safety problem was reported on Mar 03, 2010.FORD RANGER 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION . faulty clutch design on 2003 ford ranger 4.0l with mazda m50-r1 5 speed transmission: please research this problem. premature failure rate approaches 100% and recurs again within a short period of time. this problem is not unique to the 2003 model year. the hydraulic mechanism of the clutch is at fault. it cannot maintain adequate pressure to allow enough pedal travel to shift the transmission. recommended fixes include replacing the entire clutch or the slave cylinder/throwout bearing, and master cylinder for clutch system. all of these short lived fixes are very expensive as the transmission must be removed except for the master cylinder. just bleeding the system is expensive if the leek is internal, which is usually the case. *tr.Mileage was 32000 miles.

FORD RANGER 2003 car safety problem was reported on May 17, 2010.FORD RANGER 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i have owned my 2003 ford ranger xlt since it was new, and have had all scheduled maintenance. i have had 4 incidents since march 2010 where the vehicle has accelerated when i was braking to stop, with 3 of those incidents within the past week. the first incident caused my truck to push thru a gate, damaging the gate and the front of the vehicle. in this case, the engine did finally drop to an idle. i thought the behavior must be a fluke, so didn't report the incident. the 2nd thru 4th incidents have occurred on a limited access road in omaha (dodge street) at stop signs and at a gas station outside omaha, and as i was nearing a stop the engine started accelerating and pulling the vehicle forward. maximum pressure on the brakes allowed me to stay stationary so no vehicles or pedestrians were hit, but caused my rear wheels to burn rubber. i turned off the engine to stop the acceleration. the most dangerous incident was when this occurred at a gas station, when i was pulling slowly to a gas pump behind another vehicle and the strong acceleration began. while the truck has cruise control, it was not engaged in any of these 4 incidents. i had the vehicle in for repairs to correct this issue last week, and the last two incidents occurred after the dealer charged me about $880 to fix the issue (replaced throttle valve assy, gasket, potentiometer engine throttle, procharger fuel injection service). the dealer insists that there are no sudden acceleration issues with ford vehicles, but there are reports of issues on the internet. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash.

FORD RANGER 2003 car safety problem was reported on Dec 18, 2011.FORD RANGER 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . brake rotors sold by advance auto parts as an "exact fit" for this vehicle were installed without any problems and all associated components for a brake repair (pads, calipers, bearings, seals, abs rings) were also installed and seemed to fit perfectly. after assembly i noticed that the brake pads were only partially bearing on the brake rotor, with the pads overlapping the edge of the rotors. i did not notice this condition until both new front rotors had been replaced and all components except the tires/wheels had been replaced. upon further research, the rotors sold as an "exact fit" (selected for me by the counter man at my local advance auto parts store) were approximately 1 inch smaller in diameter as the original equipment rotors. i contacted advance customer service to inform them of this problem and they denied any responsibility for installation of improper parts. several reviews posted on the store's website indicate that other people have installed these rotors and are driving around with them despite the fact they are not the proper rotors for this 4 wheel antilock brake vehicle (they do fit rangers with rear wheel antilock brakes). this is a murphy's law situation in which a consumer can install these parts and drive around with them, unaware of the potential for brake failure. the final installation looks normal and i would not have noticed unless i had made a close inspection and found that the brake pads were not in full contact with the rotor surface because of the smaller than specification diameter. this is a serious safety hazard because the advance auto parts website and store computer system list them as an exact fit for the vehicle when, in fact, they are not. they can be installed and driven without the installer realizing that they are the wrong size. this requires an immediate notice and recall and advance should be sanctioned. *tr.Mileage was 0 miles.
