problem #2

Jan 242004

Ranger 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 38,000 miles
I purchased a 2002 Ranger edge 4X4, it had 4 miles on it. I have since replaced the airbag sensor, ABS sensor, front end had tobe realigned due to a bad alignment at the factory, the tires in the front had to be replaced at 4500 miles. Now at 38000 miles the 4X4 drivetrain was leaking at the front cover. The breathing tube was throwing oil out onto the engine. I was told by Ford company and a Ford tech. That this was a E4nginnering problem. It was replaced at my cost of $796. The cover was replaced with a part that was used previous to 1995, part number is fof6tz-4033-ba. My complaint is why is this not a recall and can I expect future problems.
