2005 Ford Ranger Complaint Log

THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS TRUCK. I CONTACTED THE FORD DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT IN RENO NEVADA AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT HAVE THE PARTS FOR ANOTHER MONTH AND A HALF. IS IT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL THEN?

ENGINE STALLED OSTENSIBLY FOR LACK OF FUEL. FIRST ENGINE STALL EPISODE OCCURRED WHILE VEHICLE WAS TURNING LEFTWARD INTO DRIVEWAY AT ABOUT 2 MPH AND AT APPROX 5 DEGREE ANGLE OF INCLINATION. VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM WHERE IT CAME TO REST TO REPAIR SHOP WHERE DIAGNOSIS WAS FUEL PUMP FAILURE RESULTING IN REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL PUMP (FORD OEM PART.) VEHICLE PERFORMED RELIABLY THEREAFTER FOR A PERIOD OF APPROX 39 MONTHS WITHOUT STALLING. SECOND EPISODE OCCURRED AFTER VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND RESTING ON FLAT DRIVEWAY SURFACE OVERNIGHT. THE FOLLOWING MORNING ENGINE CRANKED BUT WOULD NOT FIRE OR START. AGAIN TOWED TO DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE DIAGNOSIS WAS AGAIN FUEL PUMP FAILURE HOWEVER UPON ATTEMPT TO RESTART FOLLOWING PUMP REPLACEMENT, ENGINE WOULD NOT FIRE OR START. TROUBLESHOOTING REVEALED FUEL INERTIA SWITCH REQUIRED RESET AFTER WHICH ENGINE STARTED, SYSTEM TESTED OK AND VEHICLE PERFORMED SEEMINGLY PROPERLY FOR NEXT 10 DAYS. MOST RECENT (3RD) STALLING EPISODE OCCURRED AT TRAFFIC CONTROL LIGHT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IMMEDIATELY UPON ACCELERATION FROM FULL STOP ON LEVEL SURFACE AND ATTEMPTING TO TRAVEL DIRECTLY FORWARD WITH NO TURN OF THE WHEEL. FOLLOWING REMOVAL FROM ROADWAY, ENGINE COULD NOT BE RESTARTED UNTIL AFTER FUEL INERTIA SWITCH WAS RESET. VEHICLE THEN RAN UNDER ITS OWN POWER ADDITIONAL 2 MILES TO HOME WHERE IT REMAINS PENDING FURTHER TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR.

TAKATA RECALL: NOT SURE WHAT A 'TIMELY MANNER' FOR REPAIR WOULD BE BUT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER HAS INFORMED ME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND WERE TOLD THEY WOULD NOT HAVE THEM UNTIL THE END OF FEBRUARY. THE FORD DEALERSHIP IS IN NASHUA, NH ARE YOU AWARE FOR THIS CONFLICT BETWEEN THE 'WITHOUT DELAY' REPAIR NOTICE AND THE FACT THAT FORD DEALERSHIPS ARE WITHOUT PARTS TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY REPAIR ASAP.

TAKATA RECALL I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER (ONEONTA FORD IN ONEONTA NY) AFTER RECEIVING A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE AIRBAG ISSUE, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY THING I COULD DO IS CALL THEM BACK ON A MONTHLY BASIS TO SEE IF THEY EVEN GET A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN FORD SENDS THEM OUT. AT THE TIME OF THE CALL THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS IN STOCK NOR COULD THEY PUT ME ON SOME SORT OF LIST TO CALL ME WHEN THEY GET THEM BACK IN STOCK. THEY SAID THEY HAD CUSTOMERS WAITING MONTHS ALREADY. I SAID I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY TRUCK WITH POSSIBLY DEADLY AIRBAGS AND THEY OFFERED NOTHING. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND THEY ARE THE CLOSEST FORD DEALER. THEIR INFO IS: ONEONTA FORD, ONEONTA NY, PHONE 607-431-7300. I FEEL THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE TO A POTENTIAL DEADLY ISSUE. I FEEL AS IF I WAS "BRUSHED OFF" DURING THE PHONE CALL.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY SAYING THAT MY TRUCK NEEDED BOTH AIR BAGS REPLACED AGAIN. MY PROBLEM IS THE LETTER SAYS THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE BUT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS CAN'T GET THEM AND NEITHER FORD OR THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT PROVIDE A LOANER. SO I'M STUCK HAVING TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE DEALERSHIP HAS A STACK OF PEOPLE BEFORE AND I CALLED THE INITIAL DEALERSHIP THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER RECEIVING MY NOTICE. ISN'T THE SOMETHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME!! PLEASE

TAKATA AIRBAGS. FIRST RECALL 2016. ONLY HAD PARTS FOR PASSENGER AIRBAGS. I CHECKED EVERY TWO MONTHS AND NO PARTS. NOW RECEIVE NEW RECALL, FORD MOTOR SAID HAD PARTS, BUT DEALER SAYS NO. GETTING THE RUNAROUND. I WEIGH 96 POUNDS AND AM 70 YEARS OLD. IF BAG IS DEFECTIVE THEN I WILL BE ONE OF THE DEATH STATISTIC. I ALREADY THINK WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH AIRBAG.

I HAVE BEEN CALLING THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SINCE JULY 2015. THE PROBLEM STILL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THEY CLAIM THAT THEY AREN'T GETTING THE PARTS TO FIX IT AND THEY HAVE BEEN VERY UNHELPFUL. WE HAVE MADE SEVERAL APPOINTMENTS BUT THEY HAVE NEVER FOLLOWED UP.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES ON BOTH OF THE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE (ONE IN DECEMBER 2015 FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE OTHER IN FEBRUARY 2016 FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE). I DID NOT DO ANYTHING IN DECEMBER 2015 SINCE MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COULD BE TURNED OFF. WHEN I GOT THE SECOND NOTICE ABOUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE, I CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY RATHER THAN RISK INJURING SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS REPLACED ON NOVEMBER 10, 2017. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLACE MY AIRBAGS WITHOUT AN AUTHORIZATION FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY SINCE I HAD TAKEN THE DEPLOYMENT CANISTER OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND DISCARDED IT. I DID THIS BECAUSE I STILL NEEDED TO USE THE COVERING INSERT IN MY STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER ADVISED ME TO CONTACT FORD MOTOR COMPANY "FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP/ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE" AT PHONE # 1-800-392-3673. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THEY HAD TO HAVE THE RECALLED AIRBAG CANISTER TO GET CREDIT FOR REPLACING IT. SO NEITHER OF MY AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. DO I HAVE ANY OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS REPLACED, AT THIS POINT, OTHER THAN PAYING THE COST OF REPAIR MYSELF?
