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.
The contact owns a 1999 Ford Ranger. While the vehicle was parked, it rolled into a neighbor's yard without warning. The failure recurred whenever the vehicle was parked on an incline. The vehicle was taken to borman autoplex (470 w boutz rd, las cruces, nm 88005, 575-525-4500) where the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.
Gas petal is too close to brakes...and if not careful right foot hits both.causing a roaring of acceleration, while trying to stop vehicle.very dangerous!
Truck lost brakes while going downhill. Frame corrosion had caused right spring hanger to fail, and corroded brake line burst. I was able to pump the brake pedal and avoid an accident. Brake warning light came on after the incident. Mechanic put the truck on a lift, and identified severe corrosion to the brake lines, differential, frame, and several other undercarriage components. Truck had been undercoated and washed regularly, and has less than 105,000 miles. Mechanic suggested all new brake lines, total frame, and rear end replacement.
1999 Ford Ranger with 3 liter engine camshaft position synchronizer failed causing catastrophic failure of engine. Gear broke causing failure of oil pump seizing engine while traveling 65 mph.
The ABS light comes on, there are codes, the speedometer first stopped working 0-30mph, then 0-45, now 0-65. I have talked with others with the similar problem. Nlm
