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.
On 9/11/2010 we were sold a Ford Ranger that had an outstanding takata air bag recall and also had a rusted through frame and body. We took pictures and returned the truck to the dealer on 9/14/2010. The dealer will not accept the truck back and will not recall the loan even though we were not made aware of the deficiencies or the outstanding recall.
The lower part of the radiator support has rusted and is no longer attached to the frame of the truck. Truck is form Pennsylvania, this is the only spot of major rust damage on the vehicle. Vehicle has 103000 miles on it. I noticed this when I herd a strange thumping noise when accelerating or braking quickly. When popping the hood I noticed that when pushed on the radiator would move. Thats when I noticed the rust and that the lower part of the support is no longer connected.
Due to a recent road hazard a tire went flat, when attempting to retrieve the spare, it could not be removed because the cable holding it up rusted solid. Additionally, the bed is also rusting to the extent where holes go through to the road(see pic). The dealer took pictures and sent them to Ford who in turn said they will take no action because the vehicle is six years old. My vehicle was purchased new, it has 44,000 miles on it and is well taken care of(see pic). I do not understand why it is rusting to the point where some parts (spare tire retracter) have become usless. I will think long and hard before purchasing another Ford. Ford - fix or repair daily
