Hi all,
I was just after a few opinions regarding a problem I've got with my Ford Ranger. I feel like the dealer and Ford are taking the mick, but I aren't getting anywhere.
It came up with a "Powertrain malfunction / reduced power" message in July, so took it to the dealer who said it needed an oil change. I thought fair enough, and had it done. It came up again in mid September, so took it back and they want to change the oil again at my expense. Its only done 1300 miles since the last change.
I drive 15-20 miles everyday, more than half of which is at 50 to 60 mph. They are telling me these are short journeys and I should expect increased oil changes...
I'm pretty annoyed with it, but is it just the way they are? I'm not getting anywhere with them as it is
