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.
1998 Ford Ranger pickup truck. Pulsating brake pedal, L suspected warped front brake rotors. I had similar problem with 1991 Ford Explorer. First occurance in March 2001 Ford replaced rotors under warranty on 2/12/2001, vehicle had 24,170 miles at time of repair.second time with similar problem at 42717 miles only 18547 miles after first problem on 5/27/2004. Rotors had to be replaced again they were rusty and pitted. I paid for this repair the dealer was going to take it up with Ford rep but claim was denied. I have had numerous conversation with dealership service rep to no avail. One service rep I talked to insinuated that Ford Ranger are prone to this problem. I have called Ford and opened a complaint file. I am convinced Ford has a quality problem with brake rotors on this model. Everyone agrees rotors shouldn't wear this fast. I take very good care of my vehicles.
