Problem overview

Some Ford Ranger owners report experiencing recurring speed sensor failures even after dealer replacements. These issues often stem from the need for a thorough diagnostic check to identify underlying problems contributing to the sensor's malfunction. Additionally, using high-quality replacement parts is crucial, as substandard components can lead to repeated failures.
