2005 Ford Ranger Complaint Log

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS TO RECEIVE THE "INTERIM" REPLACEMENT FOR MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG, AND I HAVE FELT UNSAFE IN DRIVING MY VEHICLE SINCE I FIRST RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR. I'VE BROUGHT MY TRUCK (2005 FORD RANGER) INTO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP 3 SEPARATE TIMES, AND EACH TIME THEY'VE RETURNED IT TO ME WITHOUT FIXING ANYTHING BECAUSE THE PART FOR THE INTERIM REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN ON BACKORDER. THIS IS IN HOUSTON, TX, SO RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PRIORITY REGION DUE TO EXTREMELY HIGH HUMIDITY. I HAVE TRIED EVERY POSSIBLE AVENUE TO GET A LOANER VEHICLE, BY CALLING FORD CUSTOMER CARE AND MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP (STERLING MCCALL FORD IN HOUSTON, TX). I KNOW THAT HONDA IS ISSUING LOANER VEHICLES, DESPITE HAVING MANY MORE MODELS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. IT IS CLEAR THAT HONDA CARES MORE ABOUT ITS CUSTOMERS' SAFETY THAN FORD, BECAUSE FORD REFUSES TO ISSUE LOANER VEHICLES FOR THIS RECALL. I REFUSE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK OR ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. THIS LEAVES ME WITHOUT A VEHICLE TO DRIVE. I URGE NHTSA TO PUT PRESSURE ON FORD TO PROVIDE LOANER VEHICLES, AS HONDA HAS DONE, TO SHOW THAT THEY ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS' SAFETY.

FRAME ON TRUCK HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OFF IN TWO PIECES I WENT TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP AND TOOK THE BED OFF TO SEE THE TRUCK FOLD

FRAME HAS EXTREME RUST DAMAGE. THERE ARE HOLES THROUGH THE FRAME. MY MECHANIC EXPRESSED A LOT OF CONCERN ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE FRAME STEEL AND SAID I SHOULD GET RID OF THE TRUCK. I AM RETIRED AND USE THE TRUCK FOR MY PERSONAL TRANSPORTATION.

BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW AND AFTER ITS FIRST WINTER, WAS ALREADY SHOWING SEVERE RUSTING ON THE FRAME, NOW 11 YEARS LATER THE REAR FRAME IS RUSTED SO SEVERELY THAT THE REAR SPRING SHACKLES MOUNTING BRACKETS HAVE COMPLETELY FAILED AND THE METAL ON THE REAR FRAME RAILS IS SEVERELY RUSTED AND PERFORATED WHERE THE SPRING SHACKLE BRACKETS ATTACH TO THE FRAME, ALSO THE SPARE TIRE HOIST ASSEMBLY THAT HOLDS THE SPARE UNDER THE TRUCK , HAS ALSO FAILED AND IS DANGEROUS, CAN NO LONGER USE IT AS SPARE TIRE IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD OF FALLING OFF THE TRUCK THAT COULD SEVERELY INJURE OR KILL ANOTHER MOTORIST SHOULD IT FALL OFF THE TRUCK AND STRIKE ANOTHER VEHICLE OR FLY THROUGH SOMEONES WINDSHIELD. NHTSA SHOULD REQUIRE THAT FORD RECALL THESE TRUCKS, AND BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE FRAMES, SIMILAR TO THE TOYOTA TUNDRA RECALL SEVERAL YEARS AGO FOR RUST PROBLEMS ON THEIR FRAMES, A TRUCK FRAME SHOULD NOT RUST AWAY ON A 2005 RANGER THAT HAS 98,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT! FORD FAILED TO PROVIDE ANY CORROSION PROTECTION ON THESE RANGER TRUCK FRAMES.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS NOTIFIED IN FEBRUARY, 2016 (10 MONTHS AGO) OF RECALL NOTICE 16S03 / NHTSA RECALL 16V-036. TODAY IS DEC. 10, 2016. MY LIFE HAS BEEN IN DANGER FOR 10 MONTHS DUE TO A LACK OF ACTION AS PROMISED. YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER IS CRITICAL. [XXX]. PHONE [XXX]. EMAIL: [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I RECEIVED A NOTICE ON 7/16/15 THAT MY 2005 FORD RANGER WAS AFFECTED BY RECALL 15S22. I THEN RECEIVED A NOTICE ON 12/7/15 THAT THE REPAIR PARTS WERE BECOMING AVAILABLE. I WAS IN CONTACT WITH A LOCAL FORD DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND AFTER THE REPAIR PARTS ARRIVED, I MADE A 2/15/16 APPOINTMENT FOR THE REPAIRS. THE NAME OF THE DEALER THAT PERFORMED THE REPAIRS IS SUNSET FORD. ON 2/15/16, THE REPAIR WAS MADE ON CUSTOMER NUMBER 71758, AND INVOICE NUMBER FOCS185790. HOWEVER, AFTER THE REPAIR PARTS WERE INSTALLED, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH. THIS HADN'T HAPPENED BEFORE THE REPAIR WAS DONE. THEN THERE WERE E-MAIL COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND A FORD AGENT. THE AGENT STATED THAT THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED, AND EXPLAINED THAT A FUSE NEEDED TO BE REMOVED TO DE-POWER THE SYSTEM, AND THEN RETURNED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TRIED, THERE WAS A BATTERY DISCONNECT, AND A FIX DIDN'T WORK. A SWITCH, OR CIRCUIT, OR SOMETHING ELSE ISN'T WORKING. THE COST TO FIX THE NEW FAILURE IS $253.99, AND FORD WON'T COVER IT. I DECLINED PAY FOR THIS NEW FAILURE, AND LEFT THE DEALERSHIP WITH AN AIRBAG DASH LIGHT THAT INITIALLY BLINKS, AND THEN STAYS ON. THIS VEHICLE MAY BE MORE UNSAFE TO DRIVE NOW, THAN IT WAS WHEN IT WAS INITIALLY TAKEN-IN FOR SAFETY REPAIRS! 1. DID FORD PROVIDE ADEQUATE TRAINING FOR REPAIRS ON RECALL 15S22? 2. DID THE REPAIRS FOR 15S22 CREATE A FAILURE FOR SOMETHING ELSE? 3. IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR REPAIRS, SUCH AS THE ROOT CAUSE FOR THE CURRENT CONDITION THAT IS CAUSING THE DASH'S AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TO GO ON? 4. IS FORD DOING SOMETHING TO TRY TO CREATE EXTRA BUSINESS FOR ITS DEALERSHIPS THAT'S AT THE CUSTOMER'S EXPENSE? 5. WHEN WILL FORD, OR THE DEALERSHIP SUNSET FORD, GET MY TRUCK'S WARRANTY-RELATED SAFETY DEFECT CORRECTED, AT NO EXPENSE TO ME?

APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS AGO I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY CONCERNING THE AIR BAGS ON MY 2005 FORD RANGER. THE LETTER STATES THAT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT INJURY OR DEATH MAY HAPPEN SHOULD THE AIR BAG DEPLOY. TODAY I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY 1800-241-3673 ABOUT MY CONCERNS (SHOULD I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE KNOWING THAT THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUES?) I SPOKE WITH A A PERSON NAMED ISABILLA THAT WAS VERY NICE , BUT OF NO HELP AS SHE COULD NOT OR WOULD NOT SAY WEATHER I SHOULD DRIVE MY VEHICLE OR NOT . I THEN ASKED TO SPEAK WITH HER SUPERVISOR SHE PASSED ME ON TO A ( CRIS, BADGE NUMBER 63614 ) HIS BOTTOM LINE WAS THE PARTS ARE OUT OF STOCK WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THEY COME IN ,I CAN'T TELL YOU WEATHER ITS SAFE TO DRIVE YOUR TRUCK OR NOT. YOU CAN TAKE YOUR TRUCK TO A FORD SERVICE CENTER AND HAVE THEM INSPECT IT. I ASKED IF FORD WOULD PAY FOR THE INSPECTION HE SAID YES AND SEEMED TO BE GETTING ANOIED THAT I CONTINUED TO ASK QUESTIONS. HE THEN SAID THAT FORD WOULD WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE INSPECTION AND THAT THERE WAS NO MORE HE COULD DO FOR ME . I THEN ASK TO SPEAK TO HIS SUPERIOR HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT HAVE A SUPERVISOR THAT HE WAS THE TOP PERSON THERE AND THAT WAS IT . HE ALSO PATCHED ME THROUGH TO PARSONS FORD SERVICE DEPT TO GET RID OF ME. SO NOW I ASK WHAT AM I TO DO ?? DO I DRIVE MY UNSAFE VEHICLE FORD SAYS ITS UNSAFE .DO I PARK IT?? I NEED MY VEHICLE.
