2009 Ford Ranger Regular Cab

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2009 Ford Ranger. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V158000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts are not available.

RECALL NOT OCCURING IN A TIMELY MANNER This recall has the potential of severe injury in a crash I received notification of recall in April 2021 It is now 6 months later with no contact 6 months after notification Safety recall notice 21S12 / NHTSA Recall 21V158

FORD DEALERSHIPS ARE UNABLE TO GET PARTS NEEDED TO FIX THE OPEN RECALL FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAGS.

MY FATHER WAS KILLED IN DOWNTOWN MEADE KANSAS LESS THAN 20 MILES PER HOUR HIT BY 2 SEMIS ON HIGHWAY 54. I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER AIRBAGS WERE INVOLVED IN HIS DEATH BUT I THOUGHT DRIVERS SIDE HAD BEEN REPLACED THEY HADN'T GOT DRIVERS SIDE LAST WEEK! HE WAS TURNING LEFT HAVE TRAFFIC REPORT BUT IN SOME PART OFFICER LIED ON REPORT, I TRIED TO GRT 3 ATTORNIES TO TAKE TO COURT BUT NONE WANTED TO CAUSE OF IMMUNITY.*DT*DT *DT

MY PARENTS 2009 FORD RANGER HAS HAD AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES. WE TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WAS NOT WORKING. THEY INSTALLED IT AND IT DIDN'T RESOLVE THE PROBLEM! ON DAY TWO, THEY CAME UP WITH A NEW DIAGNOSIS THAT THE TONE/EXCITER RING WAS DAMAGED BY A PREVIOUS MECHANIC/BRAKE JOB. THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 35,000 MILES. THEY WANTED ANOTHER $400 TO REPLACE THE TONE RING. I DECLINED BECAUSE IT WAS WAY TOO MUCH MONEY AFTER PAYING $300 FOR THE SENSOR. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T WARRANTY THEIR WORK, AFTERWARDS, I BEGAN TO RESEARCH FORD BRAKE ISSUES, AND SPECIFICALLY ABS & TONE RING ISSUES. IT TURNS OUT, THAT AFTER LOOKING AT VARIOUS YOUTUBE VIDEOS, FORD FORUMNS, ARTICLES, ETC. I LEARNED THAT FORD HAS HAD SIGNIFICANT ABS ISSUES ESPECIALLY IN 2008 AND 2009. EVEN MORE INTERESTING WAS THE FACT THAT MANY MODELS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS (FOCUS AND ESCAPE) AND HAVE MAY HAVE BEEN RECALLED. NOT 100% SURE, BUT THE RANGER HAS NOT. BASICALLY, THE TONE RING IS ATTACHED TO THE WHEEL HUB/AXLE AND SPINS WITH THE TIRE. THIS CREATES A MAGNETIC FIELD WHEREIN THE SENSOR DETERMINES THE SPEED OF THE WHEEL. IF THE TONE RING IS DAMAGED, THE SENSOR SENDS VARIOUS ERROR CODES TO THE ECM AT WHICH POINT THE ABS BRAKE WILL DISENGAGE THE BRAKES ON THE WHEEL AFFECTED. AND THEN IT WILL ENGAGE THE BRAKES, AND REPEAT THIS UNTIL THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP. ESSENTIALLY, THE ABS SYSTEM OVERRIDES THE BREAK PEDAL AND YOU LOSE BRAKING ABILITY ON THAT WHEEL. NOT ONLY THAT, WITH MY VEHICLE, THE ABS WARNING LIGHTS HAVE NEVER COME ON; EVEN AFTER THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR. THE VEHICLE IS GETTING WORSE. AT EVERY STOP IT'S MAKING NOISES AND IT'S HARDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AS I SAID EARLIER, THE THEORY IS THE CORROSION OF THE AXLE IS BREAKING THE RING, WHICH IS ANOTHER NON RUSTING METAL, I'M PRETTY SURE THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT EXAMINE THE RING. HELP!!!!

EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 11V126000. ENGINE SHROUD PENETRATED HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE, WITH FUEL SPRAYING OUT OF LINE. CANNOT BELIEVE VEHICLE DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE.

THE FRAME ON MY TRUCK HAS RUST HOLES THROUGHOUT THE SPARE TIRE SECTION ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT CROSS MEMBER SORROUNDING THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. THE RADIATOR SUPPORT AND BATTERY SUPPORT ARE HOLDING ON BY RUST AS WELL. THE BED FRAME HAS SUPPORTS THAT HOLD FENDERS ON AND THEY'RE RUSTED OUT. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. MY TRUCK CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE OUT THERE RUSTING THIS BAD THIS QUICK! IT'S VERY UNUSUAL. VA STATE POLICE WEREN'T ANY HELP OTHER THAN TELLING ME IT'S A CIVIL SUIT BETWEEN ME AND THE SELLER. I THINK IT'S MORE THAN THAT.

FORD MAILED ME "SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 17S01 / NHTSA RECALL 17V-024". AS OF APR 15, 2018 I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BY FORD THAT THE RECALL SERVICE CAN BE PERFORMED. ON MY OWN, WORKING THROUGH THE FORD PARTS WEBSITE, I TRIED TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT PART. THEY HAD NONE FOR MY VEHICLE. AFTER 13 MONTHS (MY OPINION OF REASONABLE TIME) OF WAITING; I'M WONDERING IF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SYSTEM COULD BE DEACTIVATED, GIVING THE DRIVER AND A PASSENGER THE BENEFIT OF AT LEAST A SEATBELT WITHOUT THE FEAR OF SHRAPNEL UNTIL THE AIRBAG FUNCTION COULD BE SAFELY RESTORED.

MY BROTHER BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND LEFT IT TO ME WHEN HE PASS AWAY A FEW YEARS AGO. RIGHT AFTER THAT HE GOT A NOTICE IN THE MAIL THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS FAULTY AND IS BEING RECALLED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED TO GET IT REPLACED BUT FORD MOTOR CO. JUST KEEPS GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND BY SAYING THE PART HAS NOT COME IN YET. ITS BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE MY BROTHER GOT THIS NOTICE. I HAVE CALLED THEM SEVERAL TIMES. SAME RESPONSE EACH TIME. DON,T HAVE THE PART IN. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT I HAVE A SON WHO DOES RIDE WITH ME FROM TIME TO TIME. WHAT CAN I DO TO HAVE THIS TAKEN CARE OF BY THE FORD MOTOR CO.? THE MONTH DATE AND YEAR I WILL FILL THAT IN WHEN HE FIRST GOT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR IF I DON,T PUT A DATE IN THE SPACE PROVIDED BELOW IT WON,T ALLOW ME TO GO TO NEXT STEP.

TAKATA RECALL. I WENT TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD FIX MY TRUCK. THEY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPLACE THE AIR BAGS AND THAT FORD WOULD CALL ME WHEN THEY HAD THE PARTS AND THAT WAS BACK IN APRIL OF 2017. I ALSO RECEIVED A CARD STATING THAT THEY HAD FILE FOR CHAPTER 11. I HAVE DONE SEVERAL CALLS TO THE FORD DEALER IN RSM TO CHECK IF THEY HAVE RECEIVED THE PARTS WITH NO LUCK. NEVER RECEIVED A CALL ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSITION. ON 2/28/18 I SENT A LETTER EXPLAINING WHAT HAD HAPPEN WHEN I CALLED FORD. AS OF TODAY I HAVE NOT RECEIVED RESPONSE TO MY LETTER. I DID RECEIVED ANOTHER DOCUMENT STATING THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE AN PASSENGERS ON THE TRUCK BECAUSE IT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. FORD HAS NOT EVEN TRIED TO CONTACT US AND LET US KNOW WHAT THEY PLAN TO DO TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. SO ONLY ONE PERSON CAN USE THE TRUCK AT THIS TIME.. MY WIFE IS THE ONE THAT DRIVES THE TRUCK TO WORK SINCE SHE WORKS FAR AND WE CAN SAVES GAS BUT I AM AFRAID THAT SHE IF SHE HAS AN ACCIDENT SHE COULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT. I HAVE PROVIDED THEM WITH MY WIFE PHONE AND OUR HOME PHONE NUMBER SO THEY CAN TALK TO HER WITH ANY QUESTIONS BUT NO RESPONSE FROM FORD. THANK YOU

A 2009 FORD RANGER WAS PURCHASED AS A REPLACEMENT FOR A TOYOTA TACOMA THAT WAS SUBJECT TO THE MANUFACTURER BUY-BACK PROGRAM FOR DEFECTIVE FRAME STEEL RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE CORROSION. THE 2009 RANGER HAS NOW FAILED THE VERMONT VEHICLE INSPECTION FOR EXCESSIVE FRAME RUST IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. THIS RANGER HAS 34,000 MILES ON IT AND MAY NOT BE REPAIRABLE (WILL BE DETERMINED IN THE NEAR FUTURE BY THE REGIONAL FORD DEALERSHIP.) IN MY OPINION, A VEHICLE WITH 34,000 MILES SHOULD NOT BE PRESENTING THIS LEVEL OF CORROSION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS DEFECT.

TAKATQA RECALL. IN JULY, 2016 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY ADVISING ME OF THE RECALL ON MY FORD RANGER DUE TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR SAFETY ISSUE, BUT GIVING NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. ON DECEMBER 28, 2017, (17 MONTHS LATER) I RECEIVED A FOLLOW-UP LETTER SAYING THAT PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE, BUT UNTIL PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE I SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SET IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE LETTERS GIVE NO ESTIMATION OF WHEN THE PARTS MAY BECOME AVAILABLE. THIS DELAY IN REPAIRING A DEADLY SERIOUS DEFECT IS UNACCEPTABLE! THIS MAKES MY RANGER PRACTICALLY UNUSABLE SINCE I CANNOT ALLOW A PASSENGER IN THAT SEAT NOR CAN I PUT A BRIEFCASE OR OTHER OBJECT IN THE SEAT SINCE EITHER ACTION COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO INFLATE IN AN ACCIDENT . THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL I OWN A 2009 FORD RANGER. AROUND JUNE 2016 I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE TAKATA AIRBAG HAS BEEN RECALLED AND FORD WILL REPLACE IT. I CHECKED THEIR WEBSITE CONTINUALLY TO GET THE LATEST UPDATE AND NOTHING HAD CHANGED. IN DECEMBER 2017, I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT THE AIRBAG MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT SO IT IS ADVISED THAT NO ONE BE ALLOWED TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN REPLACED. IT ALSO STATED THAT REMEDY PARTS HAVE BEEN DELAYED AND WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR CERTAIN VEHICLES IN SPRING 2018. I CONTACTED FORD FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. I ASKED IF MY VEHICLE AIRBAG WILL BE REPLACED IN SPRING AND IF NOT, THEN WHEN. THEY STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS THAN WHAT WAS STATED IN THE LETTER. I THEN INFORMED THEM THAT I NEED MY PASSENGER SEAT TO BE AVAILABLE FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES AND THAT EITHER THEY SHOULD REMOVE THE AIRBAG, PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER VEHICLE, OR PAY FOR ANY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES THAT I MAY INCUR FOR HAVING TO RENT ANOTHER VEHICLE FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES OR FOR HAVING TO HIRE UBER FOR PASSENGERS. THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT OFFER ME ANY ASSISTANCE OTHER THAN REPLACING THE AIRBAG, WHICH THEY WILL NOT EVEN PROVIDE ME WITH A DATE OR TIME FRAME OF WHEN THAT WILL OCCUR. WHEN I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED MY VEHICLE, I PURCHASED A 2 SEAT VEHICLE. IT HAS NOW BECOME A 1 SEAT VEHICLE ACCORDING TO FORD'S LETTER, WHICH IS NOT WHAT I PURCHASED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH PASSENGERS DURING THE PERIOD JUNE 2016 TO DEC 2017 UNAWARE OF THE RISK BECAUSE FORD FAILED TO NOTIFY ME OF THE DANGER UNTIL DEC 2017. THANKFULLY, THERE HAS BEEN NO SITUATION THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG. IT HAS BEEN 1 1/2 YEARS AND FORD HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. THEY PLACED A FAULTY AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE MADE IT MY PROBLEM. FORD IS UNWILLING TO CORRECT THEIR PROBLEM.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT MY 2009 FORD RANGER PASSENGER SIDE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR. I WENT TO WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM TO FIND AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE BILL TALLEY FORD, INC. 6280 MECHANICSVILLE TURNPIKE, MECHANICSVILLE (804) 746-2000. I BROUGHT MY TRUCK IN ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2017. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THREE YEARS FROM NOW. MY TRUCK DID NOT GET AN AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT PART.

TAKATA RECALL STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN REPLACEMENT. FREEDOM FORD OF POUNDING MILL GIVES ONLY EXCUSES NOT APPT. FOR REPLACEMENT.

I RECEIVED A PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL FROM FORD SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. FORD STATED THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THE REPAIR PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. THEY NEVER DID. RECENTLY I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TK HOLDINGS INC., (REPRESENTING TAKATA CORPORATION) THAT THEY HAVE FILED FOR CHAPTER 11 AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT MY DEALER TO GET THE REPAIR DONE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH GALPIN FORD ON 11/28/1017 TO GET THE NECESSARY REPAIR. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND STATED THAT NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. SO. I AM KNOWINGLY DRIVING AROUND WITH A DANGEROUS POTENTIALLY LETHAL ISSUE WITH NO RECOURSE. I FEEL THAT IF FORD CANNOT FIX MY TRUCK (BOUGHT NEW FROM FORD) THAT THEY SHOULD BUY THE CAR BACK FROM ME OR REPLACE THE TRUCK AS IF A LEMON LAW APPLIED. THE VALUE OF THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY LOWERED BY FORD'S NEGLIGENCE.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL IN MARCH OF 2017 NOTIFYING ME OF AN AIRBAG RECALL AND THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. IT HAS NOW BEEN 8 MONTHS THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A VEHICLE WHICH HAS THESE DANGEROUS EFFECTS, GOD FORBID SOMETHING HAPPENS TO SET OFF THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG. PLEASE, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO EXPEDITE THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS RECALLED AIRBAG? SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 17S01 / NHTSA RECALL 17V-024.

TAKATA RECALL EVERY DEALERSHIP I CALL TO SCHEDULE THE REPLACEMENT NEAR TO MY HOME TELLS ME THE SAME BS, THAT THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE PARTS.

'TAKATA RECALL'. I HAVE CALLED LAKE KEOWEE FORD IN SENECA AND EDWARDS FORD IN WALHALLA BOTH IN SC AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY AND GOT MY NAME AND NUMBER ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM EITHER DEALERSHIP. I HAVE CALLED BACK A COUPLE TIMES AND THEY SAY THEY HAVEN'T GOT ANY. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO BE FIXED. I AM GETTING THE RUN AROUND AND I AM GETTING AGGRAVATED. YOUR HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

TAFATA RECALL. WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH, 2017 AND CONTACTED A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE REPAIR MADE. AFTER THE PERSON LOOKED UP OUR VEHICLE IN HIS COMPUTER, HE REPLIED THAT "IT'S ONLY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG THAT'S AFFECTED, SO DON'T WORRY, THEY ONLY "GO OFF" IN HOT AND HUMID CLIMATES, AND SINCE PENNSYLVANIA ISN'T CONSIDERED A HOT AND HUMID CLIMATE, IT PROBABLY WON'T GO OFF". HE ESSENTIALLY REFUSED THIS REPAIR ON OUR VEHICLE. AND, NOW WE RECEIVE NOTICE THAT TAKATA HAS FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY, SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US? I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT WE PURCHASED THE CAR IN ANOTHER STATE, BUT APPARENTLY THAT DOESN'T MATTER PER THE RECALL NOTICE. IT STATES TO CONTACT A LOCAL FORD OR LINCOLN DEALERSHIP TO REQUEST A FREE REPAIR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN THIS REPAIR CAN BE MADE AND HOPEFULLY, BEFORE IT KILLS OR MAIMS SOMEONE IN THE VEHICLE, OR I DO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SUE FORD, TAKATA AND THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR ALL THEY ARE WORTH.

TAKATA RECALL. THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT FOR SEVERAL CAR MAKERS. ARE THERE ANY ATTEMPTS AT A SETTLEMENT WITH FORD? WHEN WILL AUTOMAKERS BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE RECALLS? FORD KEEPS TELLING ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FIX THE AIRBAGS.

TAKATA RECALL: I CALLED THE FORD DEALER. THE MANAGER SAID THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE PARTS. HE SAID FORD IS LOOKING FOR A SUPPLIER. AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PART MAY COME IN.

TAKATA RECALL - I AM UNABLE TO SAFELY CARRY ANY PASSENGERS DUE TO THE RECALL ON MY TRUCK. THE RECALL WAS DATED JUNE 1, 2016. THIS IS OVER A YEAR AGO. THIS PUTS AN UNDUE STRESS ON ME, FAMILY AND FRIENDS NOT TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE PASSENGER SEAT OF MY VEHICLE.

I HAVE ASKED TWO DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS TO REPLACE MY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG AND BOTH SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR

TAKATA RECALL NOBODY WILL FIX AND REPLACE THE AIRBAGS FOR THE RECALL. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING SINCE 2016 WHEN WE RECEIVED OUR NOTICE. NOBODY HAS PARTS AND WE ARE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. PARTS ARE ON ORDER. SAME THING AS OF TODAY WE CONTACTED LAKE ELSINORE FORD 951-471-4100 AND GOSCH FORD TEMECULA 951-699-1302. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE WHAT IF MY SON IS INJURED OR KILLED FROM THE AIRBAG....ALL WE GET TOLD IS SORRY! NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!!

THE LAST TIME I INQUIRED I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE JUST A DEALER, AND THAT IT WAS FORDS PROBLEM! IT HAS BEEN OVER 15 MONTHS SINSE I RECEIVED THE RECALL , AND IT APPEARS THEY DO NOT CARE IF SOMEONE GETS HURT! IS THERE SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE TO GET THEM TO MOVE AND FIX THE PROBLEM

TAKATA RECALL - THE ONLY THING THAT HAS HAPPENED YET IS THAT I RECEIVED A RECALL (#16S26) IN MID JULY, 2016. I'VE SPOKEN TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, MY LOCAL DEALER AND EVEN WROTE A LETTER TO THE NHTSA BUT ALL I'M TOLD IS THAT I WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN REPAIR PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IT'S BEEN WELL OVER A YEAR NOW AND I WANT THIS FIXED! I WAS TOLD THAT IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER THAT I SHOULD FILE AN ONLINE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA SO THAT IS WHAT I'M DOING.

I GOT A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY DTD JULY 2016. STATED AIR BAG WAS DEFECTIVE AND FORD WAS GOING TO REPLACE AIR BAG. I HAVE GONE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN AND CALLED THEM AS WELL IN REFERENCE TO THE LIFE AND DEATH RECALL FOR AIR BAG THEY HAVE NOT REPLACED IT YET.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED OF A DANGER IN JULY 2016. THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN DAILY FOR BUSINESS BY MY GRANSON AND I AM AFRAID HIS LIFE IS IN DANGER DAILY. HOW CAN I LET HIM DRIVE THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE? HOW CAN I GET FORD TO BUY IT BACK? MY FAMILY BUSINESS DEPENDS UPON THIS TRUCK YET I WANT THIS TRUCK OUT OF MY LIFE. HONDA HAD A SIMILAR RECALL AND THEIRS WERE REMEDIED IMMEDIATELY. HOW MUCH IS A LIFE WORTH? I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT FORD CANNOT GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF. THIS IS ONE OF 2 FORDS THAT I OWN AND I CERTAINLY CAN'T GET RID OF THEM WITH THIS MESS IN PLACE. SHOULDN'T FORD BE ACTING JUST A BIT QUICKER? ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED BECAUSE AT THIS POINT, I FEEL THAT FORD IS CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT!

ENGINE BURNING ANTIFREEZE, WHITE SMOKE OUT OF TAILPIPE, AFTER A TRIP TO THE MECHANIC SHOP,A FORD COMPANY DEALER NEAR ME. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE V6 ENGINE MANUFACTURING DUE TO POOR METAL QUALITY FOR THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE CODE E. IN MUST CASES THE REPAIR INVOLVES ENGINE REPLACEMENT OR INSTALLING A RE MANUFACTURED CYLINDER HEAD AT A VERY HIGH COST. QUALITY OF THE WORKMANSHIP SEEMS VERY POOR. ENGINE MILEAGE 91K MILES WHICH IS NOT NORMAL FOR ENGINES TO FAIL AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD RANGER. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO WOBBLE. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CONTACT HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE ROTORS OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE ROTORS WERE CHANGED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

LOSS OF TURN SIGNAL TO THE RIGHT ISSUE WITH THE MULTY SWITCH

IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING 2009 RANGER XLT, NOTICED EXCESSIVE DIRT ON FRONT WHEEL RIMS. COMPLAINED ABOUT IT TO DEALER FIRST TIME I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE, ALSO COMPLAINED THAT I WASN'T GETTING MILEAGE EXPECTED. WAS TOLD IT WAS JUST BRAKE DUST, IT WOULD EASILY COME OFF WITH TIRE CLEANER & HOSE, & TRUCK NEEDED TO BE BROKEN IN FOR MILEAGE IMPROVEMENT. I KEPT COMPLAINING THAT BRAKE DUST SEEMED EXCESSIVE TO ME, NEVER HAD PROBLEM BEFORE. INSTALLED CERAMIC BRAKE PADS, DIDN'T HELP. WITHIN FIRST YEAR NOTICED STEERING WHEEL VIBRATING & DEALER SAID I HAD TO HAVE NEW PADS & ROTORS $400. I COMPLAINED AGAIN THAT SOMETHING ELSE MUST BE WRONG WITH BRAKES. I DON'T DRIVE DUSTY ROADS, DON'T RIDE THE BREAK, DON'T DRIVE EXCESSIVE MILES (72,000 IN 5 YRS.). WITHIN 6 MONTHS NOTICED STEERING WHEEL VIBRATING WHEN STOPPING, SOON NEEDED PADS & ROTORS AGAIN. HAVE HAD TO HAVE 5 BRAKE JOBS IN LAST 5 YEARS COSTING ME OVER $2000. HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD DEALERS & INDEPENDENTS EACH TELLING THEM I WANT IT SOLVED, NOT JUST TO SLAP ON NEW PARTS. NO ONE BOTHERS TO LISTEN TO ME, CHARGE ME OVER $400 EACH TIME & 3-6 MONTHS LATER THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AGAIN AND BRAKE PADS WEAR OUT SOON AFTER. "BRAKE DUST" HAD RUINED RIMS ON THE TRUCK.

CHECKING FOR DEFECTS. *TR

FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY CAME APART CAUSING THE PASSENGER FRONT WHEEL TO ALMOST COME OFF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER IN ASHLAND WISCONSIN INDICATED THAT IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR AND COULD HAVE CAUSE A VERY BAD ACCIDENT IF TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEEDS WHEN IT HAPPENED. *TR

DRIVER SIDE HUB ASSEMBLY CAME APART CAUSING THE BRAKES TO LOCK UP WITH A SUDDEN STOP ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. HIGHER SPEEDS WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. *TR

TRAVELING HOME FROM A TRIP OUT OF TOWN, WE EXPERIENCED A SLIGHT PULL TO THE RIGHT, WHICH ONLY HAPPENED ONCE AT THE BEGINNING OF OUR TRIP. WE WERE THINKING IT MAY BE TIME FOR AN ALIGNMENT. AS WE WERE TRAVELING HOME, WE STOPPED FOR GAS AND UPON RETURNING TO THE EXPRESSWAY AND GAINING SPEED, SOMETHING IN THE FRONT RIGHT OF THE TRUCK SNAPPED. THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE AND THEN THE TRUCK VEERED SEVERELY TO THE RIGHT. AS WE ATTEMPTED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK IT SLAMMED INTO THE CONCRETE WALL DIVIDING THE HIGHWAYS. MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH HAVE MULTIPLE BRUISES, ALONG WITH QUITE A BIT OF PAIN AT THE MOMENT. WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE WALKED AWAY FROM THIS ACCIDENT. THE TRUCK IS A TOTAL LOSS AND QUITE SCARY TO LOOK AT. I DO HAVE PICTURES AVAILABLE IF REQUESTED. *TT

I BROUGHT MY 2009 RANGER TO THE DEALER FOR A SAFETY INSPECTION AND OIL CHANGE AND DURING THE INSPECTION IT WAS NOTED THAT THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS HAD SUBSTANTIAL PITTING AND SCORING ON THE IN-BOARD SIDE OF THE ROTOR. THE VEHICLE FAILED INSPECTION AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE ROTORS. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE PADS SHOWED ONLY 30% WEAR AND THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 27159 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE SERVICE. I HAVEN'T FOUND ANY OTHER MENTION OF THESE FACTORY ROTORS FAILING IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND NEVER IN ALL THE FORD AND OTHER VEHICLES I'VE OWNED WOULD THE ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED AFTER SO FEW MILES WITH SO LITTLE WEAR ON THE PADS. I HAD THE PARTS SAVED AND THERE ARE PIECES MISSING FROM THE SURFACE THAT LOOK TO ME LIKE LARGE FLAKES OF THE SURFACE HAD WORN AWAY FROM THE ASSEMBLY. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR ANYONE ELSE WITH THIS BRAND OF FACTORY INSTALLED ROTORS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD RANGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE CLUTCH WAS DEPRESSED, IN THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE BEFORE THE CLUTCH WAS RELEASED. THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE TAKEN OUT OF GEAR WHEN THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE COULD BE AIR IN THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OF THE CLUTCH. THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED YET THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED A SECOND TIME BUT YET AGAIN, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD RANGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT GEARS, THE CLUTCH ENGAGED PREMATURELY, WHICH PREVENTED IT FROM SHIFTING. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE BUT DECIDED TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH AS A TEMPORARY FIX. THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT HIM AT A LATER DATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,000. UPDATED 11/07/11 *BF UPDATED 06/14/2012 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD RANGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKES, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE ROTORS WOULD NEED TO BE TURNED. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS COOLANT LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE AND BUBBLING THROUGH THE HEAD GASKET WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE STEERING FAILURE BUT ADVISED THAT THE HEAD GASKET AND COOLANT FAILURE WAS NORMAL AND DID NOT NEED REPAIRING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1500.

PURCHASED A 2009 FORD RANGER IN JULY 2010. TWICE SINCE THEN WHEN I COME TO A STOP THE RPM'S STILL REVS AND I HAVE TO PUT THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER CHECK IT OUT BE CAN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD RANGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY ATTEMPTED TO SURGE FORWARD SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS NORMAL MOMENTS AFTER BEING STARTED UNTIL THE CLUTCH WAS ENGAGED. WHEN THE CLUTCH WAS ENGAGED, THE ENGINE REVVED UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHERE VARIOUS COMPONENTS IN THE ENGINE WERE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,001. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,900. UPDATED 10/28/10. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THROUGH ARBITRATION , FORD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BACK FROM THE CONSUMER AND IT WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER. UPDATED 10/28/10*JB

TROUBLE WAS FIRST NOTICED IN LATE FEBRUARY, 2010, AND THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. WHILE DRIVING, AFTER GAS PEDAL IS RELEASED, TRUCK DOES NOT START TO SLOW DOWN FOR UP TO A HALF MILE WHILE TRAVERSING A LEVEL SURFACE, DEPENDING ON SPEED. TRUCK WILL NOT SLOW OR EVEN MAINTAIN SPEED WHILE ON GENTLE DOWNHILL - THE TRUCK WILL INCREASE IN SPEED. WHEN NEW, THE TRUCK WOULD SLOW DOWN ON THE FORE-MENTIONED GENTLE DOWN-HILL SLOPES. WITH FOOT OFF GAS PEDAL, THE RPMS WILL NOT DROP LIKE THE RPMS DID WHEN VEHICLE WAS NEW. WHILE DRIVING, I CAN PUSH IN CLUTCH WITH MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPMS WILL DO ONE OF TWO DIFFERENT BEHAVIORS; THE RPMS WILL EITHER REMAIN AT ABOUT THE SAME RPMS AS THE RPMS WERE WHILE DRIVING FOR SEVERAL SECOND TO OVER A MINUTE AFTER DISENGAGING THE CLUTCH, OR, THE RPMS WILL INCREASE 500 TO 1000 FOR SEVERAL SECOND TO OVER A MINUTE AFTER DISENGAGING THE CLUTCH BEFORE SETTLING DOWN TO 750 RPMS, WHICH IS THE NORMAL IDLE SPEED. A THIRD BEHAVIOR IS DEVELOPING. THIS ADDITIONAL BEHAVIOR IS: AFTER THE RPMS HAVE BEEN ELEVATED FOR SEVERAL SECOND, THE RPMS WILL BEGIN TO FLUCTUATE BETWEEN 1500 RPMS AND 3000 RPMS AND THE RPMS WILL CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE FOR SEVERAL MORE SECONDS TO OVER A MINUTE BEFORE SETTLING DOWN TO 750 RPMS. WHILE AT RED LIGHTS WITH THE VEHICLE OUT OF GEAR, THE RPMS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED OR FLUCTUATE AS DESCRIED DURING THE ENTIRE LIGHT CYCLE. ON MARCH 25, 2010, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CROSSROADS FORD DEALER IN CARY, NC TO HAVE A MECHANIC INSPECT THE TRUCK. MECHANIC STATED THAT HE DID EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEMS WITH THE RPMS, HOWEVER, EVERYTHING WAS 'INSIDE SPECS' AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AS INTENDED. DEALER'S REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT THEY CONTACTED FORD ABOUT PROBLEM; I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM DEALER. MECHANIC INSPECTED VEHICLE WHEN VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 29,000 MILES, TROUBLE STARTED WHEN TRUCK HAD ABOUT 24,000 MILES. *TR

THE ENGINE SPEED WILL NOT RETURN TO IDLE SPEED UNTIL THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. IDLE SPEED 825RPM HOT 2000RPM COLD 1200RPM WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ROLLING THIS EVENT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE (MORE SO ON SLIPPERY ROADS) CONSTANT AND EXCESSIVE USE OF THE BRAKES.. I HAVE TOLD THIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION, THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT. THEY SAY THAT THEY HAVE CHECKED INTO THE PROBLEM. *TR

BOTH DOORS ON MY FORD RANGER 2009 FROZE SHUT, AND I COULDN'T OPEN THEM. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WITH THE FIRST COLD WEATHER. I PUT SOME SILICONE SPRAY OVER THE BLACK SEAL. I OWNED OTHER VEHICLES, AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. WE ARE OLD, AND THIS VEHICLE IS NOT A YEAR OLD. WHY DOES THE WATER FREEZE SO QUICKLY, IS THIS A FAULTY DESIGN? WINTER WEATHER HAS JUST STARTED.
