Ford Ranger

"clear coat going bad"

"Rusting on lower half of truck"

"Rocker panels are rusting"

"Lots of rust near spot weld joints behind cab on bed. Both Rocker panels needed cutting out and new steel welded in to meet inspection ($1000). I can't believe Ford leaves so many unfinished sheer faces along stamped bed panels, then just primes/paints over the shear edge."

"Front chromed bumber rusting badly no win two sections, both at either end of bumper Also, both footrails needed to be cut of, they totally rotted away. These are OEM parts Ford buys and installs for the 4WD models, apparantly"

"Paint too thin rusty all over"

"Rust in front edge/corner of bed rust. Required repair to pass inspection. I added drainage holes, removed/modified moisture-trapping parts."

"Front bumper rusted through on both ends. The cost to replace it was $466."

"body rust in different places"

"Compressor failed"

"I think bouncing around in the mountains knocked one of the connections loose on my AC Freon lines. Running it afterward destroyed the compressor. I believe it's now illegal to replace with a used compressor so I can't fix it for less than the whole vehicle is worth."

"Plugged in my charger for the cell phone, air conditioner stopped working. also none of the outlets for 12 volt accessories work at all now."

"Have to have the AC on max to stay cool in SC summers."

"The fan motor doesn't always work and has to be coaxed. The 'dot' indicators for warm, cool, cold only work on cold. The heater doesn't work"

"Low speeds didn't work, only High and noisy."

"Stopped blowing warm air. Air was cold"

"It leaked refrigerant and needed a new evaporator"

"We get some heavy rain storms in Florida, and rain leaks in the top part of the extended cab of the truck. You can also hear water swishing in one of the doors sometimes"

"This is an extended cab vehicle, there is a water leak in the roof area of the extended cab. There is also leaking in the doors (2 door model) that causes an audible water swishing noise after heavy rains."

"Every time we have a heavy rain the back windshield leaks on the passenger side. Creates puddles, but can't locate the specific point of leak though"

"Water leaks at the rear cab stop light."

"Speaks and rattles are minor at this time"

"The suspension system makes sounds as I am driving. Sounds like a rusty see saw or an old bed mattress."

"Driver's side front upper control arm rubber bushing squeaks when in motion"

"Squeaking noises in the driver door, especially when rolling the window down or up."

"Airbag recall"

"Airbags were replace twice. Not charged for the replacement."

"There was a recall"

"factory recall"

"Both areas I believe were from old age"

"She is 15 years old, so Rust became the problem. I live in northern Minnesota, so salt is a major problem for the under-bellies of any vehicle."

"Transmission shuddered going into overdrive under moderate load."

"Slipping or grabbing is about the same as a shudder."

"I drive off road in the mountains. It is very hard on every part of my vehicle."

"Seals on front axel and rear seal on transfer case"

"Minor leak not repaired"

"Had to find and repair transmission fluid leak and replace high pressure lines"

"Had to replace front axle seals. Replaced rear differential seal"

"I drive my Ranger in the mountains on some really tough mountain trails and off-road. I simply wore out the axle and hub connection as well as the hub with the abuse of 10 years and many miles."

"There are bad contacts between the swtich and the 4 wheel drive unti. If you tap on the unit it will go into 4 wheel drive"

"Alternator stopped working, hen battery wasn't being charged and became dead and everything shut down."

"Vehicle will not shift in to 4 wheel drive. Need to check shift motor on transfer case"

"Torque Convertor and rear transmission seals are leaking after 17 years. Lots of money to fix, cheaper just to add when low."

"Very minor leak at rear of engine.I will not repair"

"Main oil leak between engine and transmission"

"Passenger door failed to latch. Caused by malfunction of aftermarket installed electric/automatic door locking mechanism"

"Bulbs illuminating warning features burned out. Replacement of 11 now obsolete bulbs in panel cost $400."
