This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Consumer stated when the engine was hot it was difficult to disengage the clutch. Vehicle accelerated to 4000 rpms. When the clutch was engaged engine continued to operate excessively. When driving vehicle did not slow down. Manufacturer's recall was issued. However, this vehicle was not included due to VIN. The initial problem started some time ago when the cruise control was engaged. The problem ceased for a while. However, consumer was afraid to drive. And had it repaired.
Clutch will stick and release unexpectedly, causing engine to stall during normal operation. Dealership has not examined vehicle to determine cause of the problem. Please provide any additional information / documentation.
On previous 1997 Ford Ranger I had the same problem with the slave cylinder Ford said that problem had been fixed but obviously it hasn't in my new truck I have the exact same problem in speaking with the repair man he stted that this problem has not been fixed and it is about every 15,000 to 25,000 miles when the slave cynder goes it is a two day job costing from $700 to $900. Ford is burying their heads in the sand. Now I am stuck whith this problem what are my rights? obviously there is a problem with Ford manual transmin. Many of my friends have the same problem.
