2002 Ford Ranger Owner Comments

problem #1

Mar 162008

Ranger 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 82,350 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

A plastic water heater control valve in the vehicle cooling system denatured and crumbled, leaking coolant out of the vehicle which could have caused an engine seizure had I not been aware of the situation. This is the second plastic part failure (first was the thermostat/temp sensor housing) which failed and leaked coolant during the warranty interval. Cooling systems are no place for plastic parts.
