Ford Ranger Problems

Make sure you officially register your complaint to the dealer and to Ford, I would suggest in writing, so that you will be assured of receiving the new part, or cruise, when it is available. There is nothing more that you could do other than wait until the new parts come on stream once Ford is satisfied they work. You could press Ford for some form of compensation given that they have sold you a car that isn't as you ordered and paid for.

The Mazda dealer is having a lend of you. The differences are mostly cosmetic and the engines are the same. Both come from Thailand, both were designed by Mazda. As for the dealer I would normally say avoid the Ford dealer because Ford's treatment of its customers, at dealer level and at company level, is appalling, but to say that would be unfair to those Ford dealers who do try to look after customers, and there are some out there. Clearly the Ford dealer is a better option for you so I would check with people who have dealt with that dealer and make your decision based on what they tell you.
