I've been reading the ranger lemon thread. Haven't seen any comments on engine failures.
I have a 2012 BT50 , @ 62,000 k the engine died, apparently had no compression in no. 3 . The dealership/Mazda replaced it , great result as it was overtime on warranty, but at 62,000 you would hope this would be the case. Certainly would have been very unhappy if they didn't look after it, I have owned 2 bravo's and 5 BT50's .
Of course when it happened, it was the "first" one , but since have been at the dealership and mechanics told me there has been more, there happened to be another one there at the time.
There has been no information passed onto me from the dealership as to what actually happened to it. I just hope the new engine does more than the last one.
Few other small issues, but generally a good vehicle. Crappy radio biggest annoyance!
As other posters have said all brands have issues, so what would I replace it with anyway?
Anyone else had this type of failure?
Cheers
Shane
