NHTSA Complaint #756836 — 2000 FORD RANGER

WE TOOK OUR RANGER IN ON 11/28/01 BECAUSE THERE WAS A SQUEALING NOISE, SERVICE DERPART. COULD NOT HEAR IT. TOOK IT BACK ON 01/07/02 BECAUSE NOISE GOT WORSE. THEY FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO GREASE IN THE INNER BEARING ON BOTH SIDE OF THE FRONT WHEELS "SEE OTHER COMPLAINT ODI ID: 734299 FROM SOMEONE ELSE" IT HAS FEATHERING AND CUPPING ON THE TIRES ALSO THEY CANT SEEM TO FIX. . THEY ALSO FOUND ON 01/07/02 THAT THE SEAL ON THE ASSEMBLY TRANSMISSION EXTENSION WAS LEAKING. IT HAD A FLANGE SEAL PUT ON THE DIFFERENTIAL AT 2945 MILE, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DRIVE LINE. SEE MY OTHER COMPLAINT ODI ID: 754342. TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 2945 MILES. WE FEEL THIS RANGER IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.*AK
