FORD RANGER 2008 car safety problem was reported on June 17, 2008.FORD RANGER 2008, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STRUCTURE . first, with the non-tilting steering wheel located where it is, with a taller person it is difficult-to- impossible to lift the foot off of the gas and transfer it to the brake pedal as the driver¿s knees ends up impacting the bottom of the steering wheel. this makes it necessary to just do a sort of heel-on-the-floor-foot-tilt-or-slide to go from the gas to the brake without steering wheel/knee interference. this is not a problem in the ford¿s we have which have tilt steering wheels second, a visual check shows that the brake and gas pedals are close together at nearly the same height. from a ¿step over¿ point of view this should be a good thing, but it results in little ¿feel¿ for where your foot is actually placed when one goes to stop the vehicle by using the heel-to-the-floor-foot-tilt-or-slide method necessitated by the low steering wheel position. this can and does result in pressing both pedals simultaneously. in one day of driving i managed to do the ¿both pedal press¿ three times, any one of which could have resulted in an acceleration into another vehicle object. *tr.Ford Ranger 2008 problem was reported in EDWARDS AFB, CA.

FORD RANGER 2008 car safety problem was reported on Apr 12, 2014.FORD RANGER 2008, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ENGINE . whilst driving with cruise control on i approached a large hill. i depressed the clutch to down shift & drive up the hill to drive up the hil in a lower gear and without cruise control on. when the clutch was depressed the throttle stuck down/the cruise control clutch disconnect switch failed causing a spike in engine rpm while in neutral. the rpm raced past 6500 before i managed to control it. this brief spike caused a probable blown headgasket and pressure in my coolant system blowing my coolant out of a stripped block heater venting my coolant overboard and causing an over temp situation. i managed to get it to a shop in slave lake and after $520 in repairs i managed to get the vehicle back home. upon further inspection at my mechanics, he determined the head gaskets were not the failure point. due to the remoteness of my town and a lack of cylinder head testing facilities, i opted to get a engine pulled from a similar ranger put in to my ranger. now i have oxygen sensor issues i have replaced them once already and now i have the same check engine code. i have contacted ford regarding this issue and they offered no help. please note: i am a canadian resident my town is actually fort smith nt postal code x0e 0p0. i have sent your department this complaint because transport canada here takes some time with these complaints due to lack of staff, and i am worried that someone will get hurt with this issue in the meantime. thank you.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 45300 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FTZR45E88P. Ford Ranger 2008 problem was reported in FAIRBANKS, AK. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

Ford Ranger 2008 Power Train

Ford Ranger 2008 Power Train Review #10676444

FORD RANGER 2008 car safety problem was reported on Jan 19, 2015.FORD RANGER 2008, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . for years ford has had a poorly designed hydralic manual clutch system . often impossible to shift at red light or while driving and had many near rear end collisions due to not being able to continue shifting and maintaining speed. for over a decade the poorly designed system gets air bound rendering the clutch usless . this is caused because the hydralic line has low and high spots and air becomes trapped in the high spots and results in loss of clutch operation . the entire system must be removed and elongated to allow air to be released from system . no bleeder valve at master cylinder for one thing . there is a bleeder valve at the slave sylinder but because the line has many twist and turns with high spots bleeding does not eliminate air trapped in high spots . this is a well know problem and a dangerious one . ford could care less . its about time ford answers and modifies this fault . you need only go online and enter ford ranger hard shifting problems and you will see it is common place problem . of course after the 36 k warranty this becomes a common problem and ford turns there cheek . i cant tell you how frustrating to be at a red light and unable to shift along with not being able to shift at high speeds with cars running up your rear . please address this before life is lost . thank you . i urge all ranger owners to get on board.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 60000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FMZU73W03U. Ford Ranger 2008 problem was reported in SOMERS, NY. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
