1995 Ford Ranger

MY PROBLEM IS WITH AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT THAT CONTROLS THE DOOR CHIME, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AND INTERIOR DOME LIGHT. THESE THREE ITEMS WILL TURN ON INTERMITENTLY. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL FOR NO APPARENT REASON BEGIN TO OPERATE. THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT TURN OFF WHEN ENTERING OR LEAVING THE VEHICLE, AND SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON FOR HOURS DRAINING MY BATTERY AFTER I HAVE LEFT THE VEHICLE OR WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE DOOR CHIME IS THE WORST; IT REFUSES TO STOP RINGING (ESPECIALLY ON HOT DAYS). THE FORD DEALER HERE HAS TOLD ME THAT IT IS A FAULTY CHIP IN A CONTROL MODULE LOCATED DEEP INSIDE THE DASH BOARD. THEY HAVE A TSB ON IT. OKAY, BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME 450.00 TO REPAIR. I THINK THAT IS UNFAIR. IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT THAT I SHOULD PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT COMPONENT INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY THAT IS NOW BECOMING FAULTY. I THINK FORD SHOULD ACCEPT SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR INSTALLING A FAULTY CHIP OR MODULE. I THINK IF THE CHIP WERE CONTROLLING OTHER IGNITION OR ELECTRICAL PARTS IT WOULD BE A HAZARD. RIGHT NOW THE DOOR CHIME IS DRIVING ME CRAZY.*AK

REAR BRAKES LOCK UP WHEN THE HUMIDITY IS HIGH. WHEN YOU FRIST DRIVE AFTER THE HUMIDITY IS HIGH THE REAR BRAKES LOCK AND TEND TO CAUSE A SLIDE EVEN IF YOU APPLY THE BRAKES LIGHTLY. I HAVE SPOKE TO SEVERAL OTHER 1995 RANGER OWNERS AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT CAUSED ME TO HAVE A MINOR ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A FORD DEALER WHILE STILL IN WARRANTY AND THE REAR BRAKE SHOES WERE REPLACED BUT THAT DID NOTHING AS AFTER A SHORT TIME THE SAME PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. *AK

CONSUMER HAS 1995, FORD,RANGER PICKUP. ALL 4 TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 60MPH & TIRES FELT LIKE THEY WERE SKATING ALL OVER THE ROAD. CONSUMER REPLACED THEM AT A SERVICE STATION & FOUND THEY WERE OUT OF ROUND. TIRE SIZE P235/75R15 DOT#UNKNOWN. THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL TIRES WITH 47,000 MILES.*AK *SLC

CK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON WITHOUT WARNING WHICH OFTEN SCARES THE DRIVER, THE DOOR CHIME STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE DOORS ARE SHUT AND IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A BIG HEADACHE AND ROAD RAGE, AND THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON AND HAS TO BE DISCONNECTED SO THAT IT DOES NOT RUN THE BATTERY DOWN. NOW, THESE COMPLAINTS APPEAR TO BE SEPARATE IN THEIR OWN PROBLEM, BUT I HAVE READ THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THESE SAME PROBLEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME. WE HAVE RECENTLY PAID THE 700.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON BECAUSE THE CHIME GOT TO WHERE IT WOULD NEVER TURN OFF AT ALL. WE ARE MILITARY AND HAD TO RELY ON OUR PARENTS TO HELP PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE PROBLEMS WERE ON GOING FOR A WHILE, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO "LIVE" WITH IT RATHER THAN PAY THE HIGH COST REPAIR. NOW I HAVE FOUND THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE A QUALITY ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. OUR TRUCK IS UPKEPT VERY WELL AND OTHER THAN THESE PROBLEMS IT HAS BEEN A GOOD TRUCK. FORD HAS MADE A FAULTY PRODUCT AND IT SHOULD NOT BE THE CONSUMERS RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR A REPAIR THAT ISNT CAUSE BY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OR OWNER NEGLECT. I HAVE WENT IN CIRCLES WITH THE 1800-392-FORD REP AND THE DEALER AND BECAUSE WE HAVE OVER 65000 MILES THEY WONT EVEN ATTEMPT TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER. I HAVE GATHER NUMEROUS COMPLAINT FROM THE INTERNET AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING A FORD REP LOOK INTO MY COMPLAINT, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES SUFFERING THE ILL EFFECTS OF A FAULTY PRODUCT.*AK

AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR MAIN SHAFT BROKE OFF AND FELL INTO ENGINE COMPARTMENT HITTING THE FAN. IF I WAS TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHILE THIS HAPPEND, IT WOULD HAVE STALLED THE ENGINE. I ASKED FORD WHY THIS HAPPENED & THEY SAID IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE SHAFT OF THE THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT. IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED EXCEPT FOR REPLACING THE WHOLE A/C UNIT. THIS HAS COST ME $858.21
