This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Intermittently windshield wipers will come on by themselves. Dome light stays on and chime sounds for several minutes due to driver and passenger door switch failures.
Door chime intermittantly rings, continuously causing extreme irritation. Also, windshield wiper blades work when turned on, but when turned off they come on intermittently.
Interior dome light stays on and door ajar chime stays on. This is a very common problem (see postings at www.fordranger.com). obviously a defective design and a safety hazard (try hearing anything going on with the bong, bong, bong going on continuously).
Electrical system malfunctioned, causing the dome light and the door light to stay on, and brake warning light to come on. Dealer replaced the sensor on the door. Problem is still reoccurring.
The door chimes would remain on even after the door is closed. Dome light stays on and windshield wipers would come on & off on their own. Dealer reprogrammed the on-board computer, no problems since.
Vehicle has been in to dealers numerous times due to faulty electrical problems that cause windshield wipers not to work. Also door ajar, chimes when door is closed. Dealers have not corrected problem.
