| 1999 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK | WHILE TRAVELING WITHIN THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT AND APPROACHING A GREEN LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION, TWO VEHICLES TRAVELING AT A SAFE DISTANCE AHEAD OF ME DECIDED TO STOP AT THE GREEN LIGHT TO ALLOW A POLICE CAR THROUGH THE INTERSECTION TRAVELING PERPENDICULAR TO US. I BRAKED TO STOP THINKING I HAD PLENTY OF TIME. THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION AS I THINK THEY SHOULD. EVERYTHING LOCKED UP AND I BUMPED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT WAS NOT A HARD HIT AS I ALMOST STOPPED. THE CAR WAS NOT DAMAGED BUT MY TRUCK HAD THE BUMPER RUINED AND OTHER RELATIVELY MINOR DAMAGE. I FEEL THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK AS DESIGNED AND THE GENTELMAN AT THE BODY SHOP SAYS HE HAS HEARD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM NUMEROUS FORD RANGER OWNERS. IS THERE A HISTORY OF THIS REPORTED? |
| 2003 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I OWN A 2003 FORD RANGER I BOUGHT NEW. ON NOVEMBER 26 2010 I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT @ WORK AND MY CLUTCH AND BRAKE PEDALS FELL TO THE FLOOR CAUSING A MINOR CRASH. THE PIVOT BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE STEEL PEDALS IS MADE FROM CAST ALUMINUM. I HAVE BEEN A ALUMINUM WELDER FOR OVER 10 YEARS AND IN MY OPINION THIS BRACKET IS VERY SUBSTANDARD. I SEARCHED THE WEB AND FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN ON RANGERS AND OTHER TRUCKS AND FORD CARS. IF I WAS ON THE ROAD THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. I SENT PICTURES AND A PIECE OF THE BRACKET TO A RECALL INVESTIGATOR. HE SAID ITS NOT A COMMON FAILURE SINCE HE CANT FIND ANY COMPLAINTS. *TR |
