Translation help

Google translates this ドタバタ大激走 (Dotabata dai gekisō) into "Large Carranger slapstick." Not sure what Carranger means. I googled Carranger which brings up a lot of titles with live action hero shows (i.e. Power Rangers)...that doesn't help much. Could you give me a better translation?

Breaking down into single kanji sometimes works better if that wasn’t generally established word.

ドタバタ (dotabata): slapstick
大 (dai): large, big
激 (geki): drastic, vigorous
走 (sou): run

‘Carranger’ is mistranslation of ‘gekisou’, probably came from ‘激走戦隊カーレンジャー (Gekisou Sentai Carranger)’, one of power ranger franchises.

激走 could be a "flat-out run"
