I have the same problem goes into lip mode, no codes or dash lights. Dealer has no idea. I had another issue and disconnected my battery overnight. Next day connect it and I felt like the car was about 25% more power. Only lasted two days. Would be interested in seeing if anyone else gets same result.

Bought a 2014 4x4 Ranger 3.2 L auto, second hand from a reliable source, with 50,000 km on the clock, in April 2022. Has never been used for towing, but less than one year later after a 4000 km trip to Qld and back, the transmission died . The problem was a faulty torque converter and the mechanic's report: "failure of torque convertor is direct result of poor design". I thought I did my homework on this vehicle, but I didn't find anything about the torque converter at the time. If I had, I would have not bought the vehicle. I opted to have an upgrade on the re-build - $8,500. Please be aware of this issue if you are considering a Ford Ranger.

i have the ranger px 2012 2.2 6 speed manual both lights are on but doesn't seem to have issue shifting gears on has no power in the top end about to take her in only 4 months after the slave cylinder went and about 8 months after the carbon emission censor and lights wiring needed to be fixed ive probably spent almost as much as the car whilst paying it off whats anyone opinion on a reliable car these days.

Regularly serviced XLT, taken great care of my car. I have had minor issues such as loose gear shift. But this is ridiculous, oil lamp lights up and on the way to the mechanic, 2 min drive away, I hear a thumping noise in the engine....
Mechanic tells me Ive done the engine.
Low oil pressure due to variable flow oil pump. Im finding out that this is a very common issue. A known defect that Consumer Affairs knows about and Ford Australia will not help due to vehicle being out of warranty...
NOT HAPPY

Own a 2012 ford ranger PX 2.2L, started having problems with my gear box so booked it into Ford dealership. They said it was a control sensor selector, replaced that at $3200. Only just got our car out last week Friday from a Ford dealership and was told to drive around for a few days to allow for the new gear control selector to start to work and finds its place .....4 days later driving along at 100kms and transmission shifts down to first gear, wheels lock up, cars revs out and engine and traction control lights comes on. Straight back to ford dealership and was quoted for a new re- conditioned transmission at $6000. Not sure what’s happening but Ford need to own up. This is wrong.

Never had a dual cab always had 4x4 wagon, but since driving the Ranger i am converted, goes really well, tows our 2.7 ton van really well and gives great fuel economy

Has anybody had a problem where their Ranger loses power and goes into Limp Mode whilst towing, especially if the outside temperature is high. Mine is doing this now and I am on "An around Australia" loop up at Karratha. I have had it to Ford at Karratha; no fault codes come up, nor do any dash lights show up when it goes into Limp Mode

Daily commute as well as tow vehicle during holidays. During towing the amber COG light on dash came on on several occasions. Car is serviced regularly. (anywhere between 10k and 15k).
After taking car to several mechanics someone suggested I run another lead from the negative terminal to the engine block. Hey presto COG light no longer comes on. Has 105,000 klms on the clock.

With plenty of power to tow, comfortable seats and good fuel economy we are very happy with our 2014 Wildtrack..
we purchased it second hand with 112 thousand kms in the clock, and we have since travelled 36,000 kms including a 13, 500 trip to Darwin and North Qld.
It has not missed a beat

Only just over 100,000 kms and fully serviced and just turned 5 years old, I'm not to happy with my ranger . WHY you ask - From changing my water pump after losing coolant and going into limp mode twice ???? ( didn't over heat, straight to service and new water pump ) Then losing more coolant ( straight to service, pressure tested, hose clamp replace?????) still losing coolant ????? Went through 29-31 litres over 1800-2100 kms ?...then limp mode every 2-3 kms last week so straight to service centre 3 rd time back to ford service . They don't know what is wrong with it ???? It might drive great but not too happy with the ranger and the ford service company that I brought the car from

We sold our Hilux (petrol) and bought a 2012 Ranger 3.2TDi - the best move we ever made in terms of vehicles.
The Ranger out-performs the Hilux in every department. We tow a large boat on a bogey axle trailer from Sydney to the Central Coast on a regular basis. The Ranger tows the boat full of gear etc. with ease- rarely needing to drop down gears on some of the long climbs on the M1, whilst the Hilux was constantly changing gears on the same hills, at the same speed - usually around100kph.Fuel consumption is great - 20-25% better than the Hilux.
Very happy with the ride, equipment level and drivability- both on and off road.

Worst car I ever bought, had 130000km on it then all of a sudden black smoke and a blown motor.
I'm on the ranger club Facebook and see this as a regular occurrence.
If you're still thinking about getting one read all reviews on different sites before spending the $$$.
I'm up for over $8000 and that is a cheap fix.

No action from Ford after asking them to review the steering wheel that is peeling. I have never had a car with a steering wheel that disintergrates. It is definately not fit for purpose and is clearly a manufacturing fault. This should have been a product recall to rectify the problem
