I OWN A 1995 FORD RANGER. I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WHEN I SAT DOWN IN THE DRIVERS SEAT ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. WHEN I SAT DOWN AND LEANED BACK, THE SEAT WOULD FALL BACKWARDS. I FOUND OUT FROM A MECHANIC THAT A BOLT HAD BROKEN IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE SEAT. HE SHOWED THE BROKEN BOLT TO ME WHICH I STILL HAVE. I HAVE SINCE BRACED THE SEAT UP WITH A 2"X10" SO I CAN DRIVE THE VEHICLE.*AK

I AM AN OWNER OF TWO FORD RANGER PICK UPS AND HAD OWNED ANOTHER RANGER IN THE PAST. ALL T HERE VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEM DOOR CHIMES DINGING NON STOP, DOME LIGHT FAILURE, RADIO POWER FAILURE AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNING ON AND OFF ALL BY THEMSELVES WITHOUT THE KEY BEING IN THE IGNITION. I MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO FORD AND WAS TOLD TO STOP HARASSING THEM. MY DEALERSHIP SAID AND I QUOTE "YOU'RE JUST BEING A WOMAN." WELL THIS AFTER NOON THE PROBLEM TOOK A VERY SERIOUS TURN. RETURNING HOME FROM A VACATION MY 1995 FORD RANGER EX CAB XLT 2.3 LITER ENGINE. BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE A ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. IT STARTED WITH POWER LOSE TO THE RADIO THEN A POWER SURGE TO THE WIPERS, AND THROUGHOUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THOSE AREAS OF PERSISTENT CONCERNS. THEN THEY ALL STOPPED. I NOW HAVE A COMPLETE FAILURE OF BRAKE LIGHTS, SPEED CONTROL, ODOMETER (LET'S TRUST THAT READ OUT),INTERIOR LIGHTS, RADIO AND SEVERAL OTHER SYSTEMS. I ATTEMPTED TO FIND A FUSE OR RELAY TO REPAIRS THEM BUT ALL OF THOSE WERE INTACT AND REPLACEMENT MADE NO CHANGE. ESTIMATED DAMAGER AND REPAIR COST IS WELL ABOVE A GRAND. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE 1996 AND HAVE BEEN IGNORED BY FORD. *LA

AFTER VEHICLE WAS WARMED-UP AND DRIVING HOME AFTER ABOUT 5 MILES OF STOP AND GO DRIVING, THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR INDICATION OF PROBLEM. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD ABSOLUTELY NO PLAY OR "BRAKE FEEL". IT WAS AS IF A "BRICK" HAD BEEN PLACED BEHIND THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY. THE BRAKES WOULD ONLY "SLIGHTLY ENGAGE" (E.G. IT TOOK ABOUT 500 TO 600 FEET TO STOP FROM 15 MPH AFTER SEVERAL FRUITLESS ATTEMPTS TO "PUMP" THE BRAKES. ALMOST ALL FREE-PLAY WAS GONE FROM THE PEDALS, THE BRAKE "FEEL" WAS ALL GONE & I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES HAD WORKED FLAWLESSLY UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I CHECKED ALL WARNING LIGHTS, FLUID LEVELS AND HYDRAULIC LINES AND CONNECTIONS & UNDER THE DASH (NO OBSTRUCTIONS TO THE BRAKE PEDAL WERE FOUND). THE FLUID IN THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER WAS CORRECT AND NO LEAKS WERE DETECTED. AS MY DEALER IS OUT OF TOWN & THE CAR MUST BE TOWED (BRAKES REMAIN NON-FUNCTIONING) - I AM HAVING A LOCAL REPAIR SERVICE - VISALIA EXPERT TIRE & WHEEL & BRAKE (FIRESTONE DEALER) CHECK THE BRAKES TOMORROW MORNING.

MY PROBLEM IS THAT MY L995 FORD RANGER DIES IN TRAFFIC FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND OFTEN WILL NOT RESTART AT ONCE. AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME (FEW MINUTES TO COUPLE OF DAYS) THE ENGINE WILL START. THIS FAILURE TO RESTART HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN TRYING TO START THE ENGINE. IF THE ENGINE IS HOT OR COLD DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER, BUT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WITH A WARM ENGINE, I.E., BUYING GAS CAN BE A LONG-TIME AFFAIR BECAUSE I HAVE TO WAIT UP TO AND HOUR OR MORE TO START AND MOVE MY VEHICLE. I DAILY HAVE TO MAKE A THREE MILE TRIP ACROSS A BRIDGE WITH HEAVY AND FAST TRAFFIC. STALLING OUT ON THE BRIDGE IS A GREAT FEAR OF MINE. MY RANGER IS CURRENTLY IN THE SERVICE SECTION OF WORLD FORD BECAUSE IT DIED FRIDAY MORNING, THREE BLOCKS FROM WHERE I HAD LEFT MY OFFICE. IT IS STILL IN GHE SERVICE SECTION BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, WHICH HAPPENED TO ONE OF THEIR WORKERS AS HE WAS TRYING TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE TO LUNCH. THEY SAY THAT FORD IS NOT RESPONSIBLE AND THAT MY EXTENDED WARRENTY DOES NOT COVER MAKING A REPAIR UNTIL IT (THE TRUCK) IS TOTALLY UNABLE TO OPERATE. I AM AT A LOSS OF WHAT TO DO. I HATE TO TRADE OFF THE TRUCK KNOWING THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL BE BUYING TROUBLE, BUT I CANNOT AFFORD THE LONG WAITS FOR THE VEHICLE TO START, AND I FEAR FOR MY LIFE SHOULD THE VEHICLE DIE IN HEAVY AND FAST TRAFFIC, AS THE THREE MILE BRIDGE.*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

I HAVE CONTACTED MULTIPLE FORD DEALERS TO TRY TO DETERMINE WHAT CORRECTIVE MEASURES SHOULD BE TAKEN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BUT SO FAR, THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS. THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE. A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM IS: THE ENGINE HAS DEVELOPED A SERIOUS "PING" WHICH CAN BE HEARD MOSTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ON ANY SLIGHT INCLINE, OR SMALL LOAD ON THE ENGINE. THE "PING" IS VERY NOTICEABLE, AND LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE ENGINE. FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT, A BLOWN ENGINE ON A HIGHWAY SUCH AS THE PA TURNPIKE, OR I-95,COULD HAVE DEADLY RESULTS. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY, BUT I THOUGHT THAT YOU MAY WANT TO INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION, BECAUSE THIS LOOKS LIKE A BIG PROBLEM WITH NO CURE. FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS. THANK YOU. *AK

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, GAS LEAKS FROM AROUND THE TOP OF THE TANK.*AK

I HAVE ALWAYS WORN THE DRIVERS SIDE SAFETY BELT WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. LAST WEEK, THE SAFETY BELT STARTED UNLATCHING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I MAKE SURE THAT IT IS LATCHED PROPERLY BEFORE STARTING, BUT AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL UNLATCH. IT FEELS LIKE A SPRING AT THE UNLATCH BUTTON HAS BECOME WEEK. *AK

WHEN CONSUMER GOT INTO HIS VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THE SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE OF VEHICLE. STOPPED AT A MECHANIC SHOP AND MECHANIC LOOKED UNDER TRUCK TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY LEAKS. WHAT HE SAW WAS SPRAY OF FUEL COMING FROM VEHICLE. AFTER PUTTING VEHICLE ON A LIFT, MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT GAS LINE BETWEEN TANK AND THE FUEL FILTER WAS DISTORTED, AND WENT INTO FUEL FILTER. THERE WERE HOLES THERE. GASOLINE COULD SPREAD TO MUFFLER AND TAIL PIPE FOR POTENTIAL EXPLOSION. *AK *SLC

I HAVE CHANGED THE DRIVER SIDE SWITCH TWICE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE ONCE. I FEEL THIS IS AN ANNOINCE AND A HAZARD WHEN YOUR DOME LIGHT AND DOOR BUZZER COME ON AT RANDOM OR WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. PARTICULARY AT NIGHT, WHO CAN DRIVE SAFELY WITH THE DOME LIGHT ON. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCEDENCES WHERE I HAVE TRYED, FOOLISHLY, TO PULL THE BULB WHEN THE LIGHT HAS COME ON WHILE DRIVING OR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. ALSO TRY TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD WITH YOUR DOOR BUZZER SOUNDING, I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL FORD OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND ALL HAVE SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT THEIR VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS QUITE HELPFUL AT FIRST CONVERSATION BE WHEN I BROUGHT UP SAFTY ISSUES THEY SAID "SORRY" NOTHING IN OUR DATA TO SHOW A RECALL, WE'LL CHANGE IT FOR YOU( AT A PRICE) BUT THEN IT ONLY HAPPENS AGAIN IN A FEW MONTHS. THEY HAVE A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT THAT IS STILL BEING USED IN NEWER VEHICLES AND THEY KNOW IT. THE WIPERS ARE TYHE SAME ISSUE. AGAIN, COMMING ON AT WILL. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING LET ALONE WHEN THEY SHUT OFF DURING A RAIN. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THE SAME THING, SORRY, NOTHING WE CAN DO. YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT ONE ALSO. IT IS NOT AN ISSUE OF MONEY, IT'S SAFTEY AND TIME. WE LIVE VERY HECTIC LIVES AND I PERSONALLY DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO CONSTANTLY HAVE MY VEHICLE TIDED UP AT A DEALERSHIP FOR ITEMS THAT SHOULD WORK PROPERY FOR A CONSIDERABLE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AND NOT BE A HAZARD TO THE DRIVER. SORRY FOR VENTING, THIS IS AGRIVATING WHEN YOU SEE AN OBVIOUS DEFECT AND YOU

WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHER COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT TURNING THEM ON AND WON'T TURN OFF. SOMETIMES WIPERS DON'T COME ON WHEN SWITCH IS TURNED ON.*AK

I HAVE A COUPLE OF COMPLAINTS ACTUALLY. THE TWO MORE SERIOUS IS, 1) THERE IS A CONSTANT DINGING WHILE IM DRIVING, AND THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY, CAR ON OR OFF. THE SAFTEY ISSUE IS THAT, HOW AM I TO COCENTRATE ON DRIVING WHILE BOTH OF THESE TWO DEFECTS ARE CONSTANTLY OCCURING. 2) MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL RANDOMLY CUT ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS ANOTHER BIG DISTRACTION, EXPECIALLY WHILE TRYING TO CONCENTRATE. I ALSO HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHER FRIENDS WITH A RANGER "DIFFERENT YEAR" THAT THESE SAME DISTRACTING EVENTS OCCUR WITH THIER TRUCK. I HOPE YOU ISSUE A RECAL ON THESE TWO ITEMS BEFOR SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS. PLEASE WRITE BACK AND TELL ME PROGRESS WITH THIS SITUATION. LOOK FORWARF TO HEARING FROM YOU SOON. SHANNON WINBURN. *AK
