WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING NOTIFICATION FOR OVER A YEAR OF THE RECALL. OWNER HAS CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR, IS THEN CONNECTED TO DEALERSHIP (PHIL LONG FORD) WHERE HE HAS LEFT MESSAGES. THE CALLS ARE NEVER RETURNED AND NO ALTERNATIVE IS OFFERED WHEN HE EXPLAINS THIS TO THE PERSON AT THE RECALL 800 NUMBER

Sep 02, 2020

I CONTACTED THE RECALL CENTER BY PHONE AS RECOMMENDED. THE LADY THAT ANSWERED SAID SHE COULD NOT FIND A MATCH BASED ON THE VIN FOR THE RECALL. SHE TOLD ME SHE WOULD HAVE A SUPERVISOR CALL ME WITHIN 24 HOURS. THAT WAS WEEKS AGO AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL AND I AM STILL GETTING THESE RECALL NOTICES. PLEASE ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.

Oct 22, 2019

TAKATA RECALL I SOLD MY VEHICLE AND FILED THE PROPER RELEASE OF LIABILITY FORMS WITH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. DESPITE REPEATED REQUESTS TO FORD AND TO THE DEALERSHIP I CONTINUE TO GET RECALL NOTICES. FORD SEEMS NOT TO CARE ENOUGH TO SEND THE RECALL NOTICE TO THE NEW OWNER WHO MAY BE INJURED. *BF *TR

The frame on my ranger is so rust the spare tire came out from under the truck . I’ve tried to find a used one but no one has them because this is a problem I’ve come to find out with everyone’s. So if you can help me or tell me why these vehicles haven’t been recalled over this problem please get back in touch with me. Thanks

2007 FORD RANGER WITH 77360 MILES DID NOT PASS INSPECTION AS FRAME IS RUSTED OUT. NOT ROAD WORTHY

Mar 09, 2021

DUE TO RUST HAVE TO REPLACED THE REAR BUMPER. THE CONSUMER STATED THE TAILGATE WAS ALSO RUSTED. THE ENTIRE REAR FRAME WAS RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JS

Apr 02, 2020

MY 2007 FORD RANGER PICK UP TRUCK HAS EXTREME PREMATURE RUST TO THE ENTIRE FRAME RESULTING IN IT BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE RUST RESULTED IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH ONLY 83,557 MILES ON IT. THROUGH ONLINE INVESTIGATION AND BY TALKING TO OTHER FORD RANGER OWNERS I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON AND REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THE RANGERS. I KNOW THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FORMING IN TX OVER THIS EXACT ISSUE. I FEEL THIS WAS DECEPTIVE AND UNFAIR OF BOTH TOWNSEND FORD, THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE USED TRUCK, AND THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY BECAUSE WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PREMATURE RUSTING FRAME ISSUE. THE RUST IS SO EXTREME THAT THE SPARE TIRE CARRIAGE UNDERNEATH COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND THE TIRE DROPPED TO THE GROUND. ANOTHER PART OF THE ENGINE (THE E-VAP?) HAD TO BE STRAPPED UP FOR FEAR IT WILL DROP TO THE GROUND AS WELL. 2 AUTO MECHANICS AND 2 DEALERS TOLD ME IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND WON'T PASS INSPECTION. (INCLUDING A FORD DEALER) MUCH OF THE SUPPORTING TRUCK FRAME IS COMPLETELY GONE OR FULL OF RUST HOLES AND CRACKS. ONE MECHANIC SUSPECTS THAT THE FRAME WAS NOT TREATED PROPERLY AT THE FACTORY, BECAUSE THE EXTREMELY RUSTED AND DECAYED FRAME IS ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, WHILE THE OTHER SIDE HAS ONLY NORMAL SURFACE RUST.THE CURRENT KELLY BLUE BOOK VALUE IS $8,000., BUT I CAN'T SELL IT- IT WON'T PASS INSPECTION, AND I CAN'T DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE.THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN CONTINUALLY SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN BOTH CITY AND COUNTRY AND WAS NEVER ABANDONED.

TIRES

4 complaints

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 FORD RANGE WITH ONLY 12,920 MILES ON IT WHEN MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE SUDDENLY LOST AIR. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE SIDEWAYS ON THE SNOWY ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL BECAUSE NO OTHER CARS WERE AROUND. WHEN THE TIRE WAS INSPECTED THE CAUSE OF THE SUDDEN DEFLATION WAS DETERMINED TO BE A SEVERED TIRE VALVE STEM. THE REST OF THE TIRE VALVES WERE INSPECTED AND 2 MORE VALVES WERE FOUND CRACKED SEVERELY. THESE WERE ORIGINAL VALVES AND TIRES INSTALLED BY FORD AT THE FACTORY. *TR

Jan 09, 2010

TIRE VALVE STEM FAILURE ON 2007 FORD RANGER. 1ST FAILURE DEC 08, SECOND FAILURE MAY 09. I JUST RECEIVE A REMINDER LETTER FROM FORD RECOMMENDING CHECKING THE TIRE PRESSURE ROUTINELY AND NOTING THAT THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IDENTIFIED WITH THESE VALVE STEMS. I CHECKED THE REMAINING TWO AND THEY ARE BOTH ABOUT TO FALL OFF. WHY ISN'T THIS A MANDATORY RECALL???? THEY INDICATE THAT IF MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY CAN BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. WELL I DRIVE ALOT AND HAVE 50K ON MY TRUCK. FORD HAS POOR WARRANTIES AND IT IS NOT MY FAULT THEY DID NOT PROPERLY TEST THESE VALVE STEMS PRIOR TO DEPLOYING THEM. I ONLY HAD MY TRUCK FOR 1 1/2 YEARS BEFORE THE FIRST FAILURE. THIS KIND OF STUFF NEEDS TO BE FIXED. NO WONDER THE BIG THREE ARE IN SUCH A WORLD OF HURT. IF THEY WOULD JUST PUT OUT GOOD VEHICLES AND STAND BEHIND THEM. *TR

Jun 15, 2009

TIRE DEFLATED DUE TO A CRACKED VALVE STEM. A SECOND DEFLATION THREE DAYS LATER ON ANOTHER OF THE TIRES. THAT ALSO HAD A CRACKED VALVE STEM. I DECIDED TO HAVE THE REMAINING TWO VALVE STEMS REPLACED AS I FELT THIS WAS TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE. I HAD THE WORK DONE AT A LOCAL TIRE SHOP. I OWN A 2007 FORD RANGER. *TR

Oct 21, 2008

I HAD ALL 4 VALVE STEMS FAIL ON MY 2006 FORD RANGER WITHIN A WEEK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

2 complaints

WHILE TRYING TO START MY 07 FORD RANGER IT LOST MOST OF ITS POWER ALL OF A SUDDEN. THE ONLY POWER I CAN GET IS ON AUXILIARY (TURNING THE KEY BACK) BUT EVEN THEN ALL I GET ARE WIPERS, DOME LIGHT AND RADIO. THEN WHEN I TURN THE KEY OFF THE FUSE BOXES MAKE A TICKING NOISE. AFTER TESTING ALL FUSES AND CONNECTIONS I FOUND THAT OUT OF 56 TOTAL FUSES (BOTH UNDER THE HOOD AND IN THE CAB) ALL THE FUSES WERE OK BUT 24 OF THE CONNECTIONS WEREN'T RECEIVING POWER. I CAN UNDERSTAND BLOWING FUSES AND MAYBE EVEN A FEW CONNECTIONS BUT TO LOSE THAT MUCH POWER AT ONCE DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. I'VE ALSO FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW REPORTS FOR FORDS 2007 ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BUT AFTER CALLING FORDS CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. THEY CLAIM THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM (AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WANTED TO RAPE ME FOR $1000 WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT IT) I FIGURED SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR
