2022 FORD RANGER Complaints and Recall Information
The 2022 FORD RANGER has 3 complaints and 3 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues with harsh or delayed gear engagement and intermittent failures in the infotainment system, including black screen displays. Some owners also describe acceleration problems linked to faulty oxygen sensors diagnosed outside of dealer service.
Common Issues- Transmission shifting problems. Harsh or delayed engagement and shifting occur between 3rd and 4th gears and sometimes from 5th to 6th gear, with daily recurrence reported despite a service bulletin covering earlier production dates.
- Infotainment system failure. The screen intermittently turns black during operation, affecting driver information display and usability.
- Acceleration failure. Vehicle fails to accelerate as intended at startup and during acceleration, diagnosed outside dealership as oxygen sensor failures near the catalytic converter but unrepaired.
Three recalls affect various systems, including software, labeling, and fuel delivery components. These recalls address safety and operational concerns involving cameras, vehicle loading information, and fuel line connections.
Recalls- Rearview camera software. NHTSA recall 25V442000 affects 200,186 vehicles including 2022 Rangers. A software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank image or remain on display after shifting out of reverse, increasing crash risk. Dealers will update the software free of charge.
- Tire and loading labels. Recall 23V379000 covers 29,607 vehicles including 2022 Rangers. Incorrect load carrying capacity on the TREAD label may lead to vehicle overloading and increased crash risk. Ford will provide and install corrected labels at no cost.
- Fuel line connection. Recall 22V685000 involves 69 vehicles equipped with 2.3L engines. Fuel line connections may be improperly tightened, risking fuel leaks and fire hazards. Inspection and replacement of the fuel line assembly will be performed free of charge.
Owners with repeated transmission issues, unresolved acceleration defects, or vehicles subject to multiple recalls involving safety systems may have rights under state lemon laws if repairs do not resolve these problems.
