i just unhooked my trailer after doing a craft show and the hitch was full of oil or oil like fluid . looking under my truck i see the differential is leaking....i am in tears beside myself,i need a truck and can not afford to pay for what appears to be a mistake on fords part.. afraid to drive it and it has left me without a truck to make money and no money to fix the truck./.

Do you drive a 2002 FORD RANGER?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
