So, took delivery on the Ranger at the end of Aug (labor day savings events happening), and the truck has 5900 miles on it currently--I have been using the "Auto start/stop" feature most of the time--Cancelling when needed to prevent repeated start/stops-- Today, jumped it to go to the post office-truck would not turn over to start--Repeated attempts produced only a solid "click", then suddenly started--Drove to destination (having cancelled the Auto start feature), shutdown, now at full temp, and problem continued--took it straight to Ford, to at least verify the issue/open a work order--The guys were able to diagnose/confirm the issue-Ordered a replacement starter! Being a previous Ford Tech, I had the same concerns as many others here, on "starter longevity" !! So, will now be on Starter #2 now, and test continues!!! And it was "very much appreciated", that the Ford guys helped out, with no delays!!!
