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.
I took my 2000 Ford Ranger into get an oil change and have the front end alignment checked as it had a pull to the left. I was told that I needed to have the ball joints and anti-sway bars replaced before they could do an alignment. My vehicle only had 42,043 miles on it at this time. I contacted Ford headquarters and asked to have them replaced at their cost and they refused. I have talked to different mechanics who own older Ford Ranger and they said that the ball joints should not be failing at such a low mileage. At this point I am in the process of getting ready to replace the parts myself, so no replacement has been done.
