2019 FORD RANGER Complaints

Leaf Spring failed at forward mount of driver side. Vehicle was never over weight nor ever towed anything.

When I use my back up camera it either goes all black or is distorted to the point where I cannot see what is behind my truck. This occurs randomly when I put the truck in reverse.

Transmission bucks and shutters at low RPM. Dealer did not disclose the transmission issues

The transmission is shifting hard, delay in shifting, and slipping gears. All of this started when my vehicle reached 50,000 miles. Ford has issued a TSB for the issue, but refuses to cover the cost of repairs. Ford is reporting this issue in all 10R80 transmissions installed in several of their models.

This is in relation to an existing recall on the 2019 Ford Ranger, NHTSA Recall no. 19V-839 This recall was for improperly connected inline electrical connectors from the Ford factory causing issues with rear brake lamps. I have recently had a fault with the same connector, which Ford technicians discovered was not properly connected. This connector failed due to the loose connection, causing all electrical connections in the rear frame (fuel pump, rear view camera, cross traffic warning, parking sensors) to fail. Upon discovering recall 19V-839, I contacted Ford support. I was informed that my truck was built in the same factory as the recalled vehicles, but was completed three days after the impacted period ( JUN 04, 2018 - AUG 16, 2019). Therefor Ford will not consider my issue part of the recall. Ford has advised me to bring this up to the NHTSA to broaden the scope of the recall. I It seems clear to me that this issue was the same as the recall, and likely the original dates were too narrow. I hope you will investigate this issue.

Rear leaf spring failure at the front mounting point. This happened while the bed was empty and under normal driving conditions. The dealer would not say if this part would be replaced due to a defect because the vehicle was past the manufacture warranty. I will replace the part myself due to how long the dealer said it would take to schedule me for an appointment as I can not go without a vehicle for more than a month.
