Consumer Description

MY 1999 FORD RANGER 4X4 WITH 3.0 LITER FLEX FUEL ENGINE BEGAN SPUTTERING, RUNNING ROUGH AND OVERHEATING TWO DAYS AGO. I TOOK IT TO HALDEMAN FORD TO BE CHECKED. THEY TOLD ME TODAY THERE WAS WATER/COOLANT IN AT LEAST ONE OF THE CYLINDERS AND THE HEAD(S) MAY BE CRACKED, AND I NEED A NEW OR REBUILT ENGINE. THE TRUCK HAS JUST OVER 95,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD OIL CHANGES, COOLANT FLUSHES, ETC. AT REGULAR INTERVALS. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON YOUR WEBSITE, AND HEARD FROM OTHERS, THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SIX CYLINDER ENGINES FORD USED IN RANGERS AND EXPLORERS. THEY SAID IT WOULD BE $6400 FOR A REBUILT ENGINE INSTALLED. IT SEEMS THIS IS MOST LIKELY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, BUT THE FOLKS AT THE DEALER SAID NO. *JB
