How long for the Ranger smile to fade?

[Menden67]

525 days and 20459 miles and still smiling

I am so jealous! My son bought me a ‘20 Ranger XL. Absolutely blew me away! Was driving it everywhere and running every errand. Then the dreaded ‘orange engine light’ started glowing. Neither Ford nor the dealership had an idea of what was wrong. Now they have had the truck more than I have. Replaced the ‘turbo’ fuel pump twice and still no answer. Anyone else had issues with fuel pumps on ‘20 Rangers? I want my truck back or one that actually works.
Any help is much appreciated- Ford dealership has not been communicative or helpful.

Smile gone after 5 days. Truck is at dealer with 64 miles and a leaking rear axle. Parts on backorder. Waiting on an answer to my buyback request.

Many, many, smiles were had on this day!

check with your local lemon laws, there is a time / attempts threshold. once they hit it, they own the truck.

Thank you. That is the route our dealership is forcing us to go. They can’t get parts; the received a fuel pump, but Ford could supply the bolts and fittings. The dealership has now had it 1.5 times longer than I have. They are frustrated, but I don’t have my truck .

My apologies: clarification- Ford sent the fuel pump, but they cannot supply the bolts and fittings. The rep at the dealership had a 1 1/2 page of customers who needed parts that Ford couldn’t supply. So I am back to no truck and now a back order on parts. The manager says it can’t be “lemon lawed” because the parts are not available.

Dealer says... hehe. I don't recall that being a loophole in the law, might want to chat with a lawyer to clarify that. there are law firms that just do lemon law, sure they would answer the Q w/o a problem. I'm betting if they were looking at a lemon law outcome, you might get your parts.

I agree! You should absolutely not listen to anything the dealer tells you about the applicability of the "Lemon Law," as his interests and yours are not aligned in this matter. Talk to a lawyer right away, for two reasons. One, once the dealer knows that you are serious about asserting your rights, he may find the parts before the end of the day. Two, if you do have to take legal action, you will be ready for what follows. Good luck, man!

Thank you all for your help/advice.

Got our 2020 Lariat back today after sitting for 9 days waiting for parts to fix the rear axle leak. Amazing how fast it got done after I requested they take it back and make it look like the purchase never happened.

Hope it is repaired soon. Sorry you are having this problem, but, wow, what a son!
