The contact owns a 2000 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that upon inspection, it was found that the rear leaf springs had failed. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where the failure was confirmed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 124,000. Updated 07/01/14 MA the consumer also stated three brake lines failed, the tailgate failed and the rear bumper rusted out.
Tailgate support for Ford Ranger 2000 4X4. Support on right side broke when person sit on it. On investigation it was found the cable was completely rusted through and being held byi the hard plastic surrounding the cable.
Tailgate often very difficult to open. One side of handle pulls up more and keeps the latch from opening. Often have to push on the tailgate with shoulder while pulling latch to get it open. Also steering wheel is loose and steering is not precise very wobbly. Have not had it looked at yet but my mechanic says it is a common problem with 2000 Ranger and that the steering knuckle can be defective and be dangerous to drive as is.dt
