2001 Ford Ranger Owner Comments

While driving at approximately 40 mph on a country road the vehicle began to vibrate. The driver pulled over, got underneath the vehicle, and pushed on the universal joint which was tight. The circular sound damper broke off. The driveshaft caused the vehicle to shake. The owner later contacted the manufacturer, and was told that there was nothing they could do. This problem caused rattling and the vehicle would become hard to control on the highway. The consumers warranty had expired and there was nothing that Ford would do to help with the problem.
