1998 Ford Ranger

HAD OIL CHANGED AT CLEAN LUBE-NO OIL LEAKAGE BEFORE VISIT WITH THEM-THEY TOLD ME MY OIL PAN WAS CRACKED AND WHEN I LEFT IT WAS POURING OUT OIL. THEY KEPT MY OIL PAN AND SAID THEY HAD TO SEND IT TO A LAB TO SEE IF THEY CRACKED IT....I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM SINCE. THE COST OF THE NEW OIL PAN WAS 404.00 AND THEY SAID IT WAS A STRESS CRACK AND IT SHOULD HACE BEEN A RECALL. THEY SEE THIS IN THESE LITTLE TRUCKS.....PLEASE HELP ME......THEY NEED TO PAY FOR MY OIL PAN PER MECHANIC.THANK YOU TRISH HULL. *AK

THE HOLDING CAP THAT KEEPS THE GAS IN THE GAS TANK HAD BEEN BORKEN FOR A LONG TIME. I USED TO SMELL GAS FOR A LONG TIME ALMOST FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR. ONE DAY WHEN I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE LOTS OF GAS RUSHED OUT OF MY CAR AND A FRIEND NEAR BY NOTICED THIS. TALKING TO MY TENNANT, SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HER FORS TAURAS. *AK

WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND DOME LIGHT STAYING ON, PLUS THE WIPERS ARE IRRADIC AND THE WINDOWS WILL SOMETIMES GO DOWN ON THEIR OWN. IT WAS FIXED ONCE AND NOW IT'S HAS STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO ME THERE ARE AN AWFUL LOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OUT THERE ON THIS VERY SAME ITEM AND I FEEL FORD SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. I CALLED THEM AND ASKED IF THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING THEY WOULD FIX SEEING AS IT'S ONE OF THEIR MECHANICAL DEFECTS AND THEY REPLIED WITH A 'NO'. I AM TO THE POINT THAT I JUST WANT TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE. I ALSO NOTED THEY HAVE A MENTION OF HOW THIS VEHICLES LEANS. THAT IS ALSO TRUE. MY RANGER LEANS. I THINK THIS TRUCK IS A TRUE LEMON.

CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, THE INSIDE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF, WHEN THE KEYS ARE LEFT INSIDE THE IGNITION WITH THE DOOR CLOSED, THE CHIMER WILL KEEP DINGING UNTIL THE KEY IS REMOVED, THE DEALER CLAIMED THE PROBLEM WAS THE JEWEL MODULAR, HOWEVER THE BULBS INSIDE THE DASH KEEP BLOWING, WHEN THE BLINKERS ARE TURNED ON THERE IS A CRACKLING NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A WIRE SHORTING OUT, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACT ERRACTICALLY WHEN IN DELAY MODE, THE HAZARD LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, CONSUMER HAS CONCERNS WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT, WHEN HE TURNS THE SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION, THE LIGHT GOES OFF AND WHEN CONSUMER TURNS THE SWITCH TO THE ON POSITION, THE LIGHT INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF.*JB

DRIVER SEAT SUPPORT IS DEFECTIVE. AT LEAST TWO WIRE SUPPORTS (DIAMETER OF A CLOTHES HANGER) IN THE DRIVER CHAIR (BACK REST) HAVE SNAPPED AND ARE PIERCING THROUGH THE BACK OF THE CHAIR. POSSIBLE DEFECTIVE METAL. IF MORE WIRES SUPPORTS BREAK THIS MAY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO FALL THROUGHT THE SEAT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I WEIGH 155 POUNDS AND THE FIRST BREAK MAY HAVE HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO WITH A POPPING NOISE (WHICH UNKNOWINGLY WAS INSIDE THE CHAIR). ONE SUPPORT WIRE HAS COMPLETELY BROKE AND FELL OUT OF THE BACK OF THE CHAIR, THE OTHER IS PIECING THE BACK OF THE CHAIR. FORD WAS CONTACTED TODAY AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS NO FURTHER ACTION OR REPLACEMENT OF THE PART. *AK
