1FTER4FH6KLA555402019 FORD Ranger

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger equipped with Dunlop Tires. Tire Line: AT2O, Tire Size : 265/65R17 110HI, DOT number DAAH D31R. The contact stated that while driving 65 MPH, the passenger-side rear tire blew out. The thread separated and was on the roadway. The contact was able to continue to drive. The contact called a tire center, but they failed to respond. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not contacted. The tire mileage was unknown. The failure mileage was approximately 97,000.

My 2019 Ford Ranger is equipped with the 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission that experiences hard/erratic shifting (as if it can't decide what gear it wants to be in), jerking/lunging especially in 1-2 gear when making a brief stop-and-go (stop sign or a crosswalk). The first couple time it happened, it felt like I got rearended or hit a curb.

The brakes failed within hours of owning the Certified, WARRANTIED VEHICLE. ALMOST had an accident. Within <5 weeks of owning this warrantied certified vehicle, was stranded on Rine Ridge Indian Reservation and on the highway. Engine jerk so bad feels like I a derby car. Then just stalls. The dont comply with their own 172 point certified inspection. They claim two keys for specified vehicle. They gave me two 1 starts the vehicle the other errors no key in ignition when you insert into ignition. NOW I have to pay bills to get a warrantied certified vehicle repaired plus loaner car because Ford McKie k owing sold an Unsafe vehicle under deceptive pretense. Multiple engine and brake failures which was supposedly certified inspected.

Mileage is at 86980. I have been having issues for a good 10k miles that are slowly getting worse. Transmission is slamming into reverse from park. Shifting is slow from 1st to 2nd gear. Has begun revving engine but not engaging. I have had the transmission fluid changed 3x and flushed and changed the last time. No leakage or overheating. I do not drive her hard, off road or tow. She always gets warmed up before driving. My mechanic believes it is the PCM.

Rear rear leaf spring broken/cracked completely and disconnected from vehicle. The vehicle was unsafe to drive as the axle was not not connected to the vehicle on one side. The defective component was inspected by Firestone Auto and submitted and approved by SilverRock automotive for warranty replacement and is currently at a Ford Dealership completing repairs because Firestone Auto failed to complete the repair properly. There were no warning lamps or messages and it the problem was only noticeable when the vehicle was on a lift or floor jack. The incident is unknown and it the broken part was poor design/materials.

JULY 2024 THE RIGHT SIDE BACK LEAF SPRING WAS BROKEN. WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. APRIL 2026 THE LEFT SIDE BACK LEAF SPRING IS BROKE. WAITING TO HEAR FROM FORD IF IT WILL BE COVERED OR NOT. LEAF SPRINGS SHOULD NOT BE BREAKING. I DO NOT HAUL THINGS OR EVEN GO OFF ROAD WITH MY 2019 RANGER. IT HAS 74012.10 MILES ON IT NOW.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated, and the transmission was shifting hard. Additionally, the vehicle vibrated abnormally while shifting from 1st to 3rd gear. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the TCM was reprogrammed, and various fluids were replaced; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 951.

On friday, march 27th, 2026. My 2019 ford ranger began shaking before the engine stalled. Warning lights for an engine check came on and my vehicle would not go above 20 mph after restarting. When pressing on the accelerator the engine would rev but the vehicle would not accelerate. I took the 2019 ford Ranger to a local Ford Dealership service center and they diagnosed the following problems (listed in full below).The cooling fan was at issue and multiple wires connecting my engine to the rest of the vehicle were melted off. The ford dealership said that this issue is extremely rare and they have never seen it before. After receiving this information from the dealership I discovered that the 2019 ford ranger has had several recalls with the areas at issue in my vehicle. The recalls are under number 25V685000 (Engine block heater), and 20V137000 (Fan). Here is the full diagnosis from the ford dealership attached below: VERIFIED CUSTOMER CONCERN FOUND VEHICLE TO HAVE CEL LIGHT ON, AND MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS PERFORMED DIAG AND FOUND SHORT CIRCUIT PRESENT. TRACED SHORT FOUND COOLING FAN CLUTCH FAILED AND HARNESS RUBBING IN CLUCH ASSEMBLY FOR COOLING FAN The fan lowers the temperature of the engine. The cooling fan motor is an electric motor that turns the fan blades. When the vehicle is in traffic or under heavy load, the engine relies on the fan to cool itself. Some vehicles may use multiple electric fans for better control of the cooling system. For the most part, electric cooling fans are controlled by the same computer that controls the engine. However, in some engines, the fans are turned on and off by a temperature-sensitive switch mounted in either the radiator or elsewhere in the cooling system. Spark Plug Replacement 4 Cylinder: 4 Cyl Tune Up The platinum spark plug is a type of spark plug. The platinum is a precious metal that is used in the composition of the spark plug. The center electrode is made of platinum.

Restraints indicator lamp warning. Air bag warning is on due to a problem with the front passenger side airbag. The front passenger airbag may not function.

both rear springs broken at the front eye mounts. the rear leaf springs hold the rear axle in place need I EXPLAIN MORE? I have not had the truck inspected, I have been in the automotive industry for over forty years. I first heard a noise from the springs when entering a parking lot and drove over a curb. No electronics attached to the springs.

The transmission failed prematurely (my point-of-view) at around 115,000 miles. A Ford dealer diagnosed and determined the transmission needed replaced. The vehicle was a 2019 Ford Ranger XL with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The transmission would get stuck in 2 gear, sometimes upshifting and sometimes downshifting. Driving highway speeds the speed needle would also drop to zero even though I was moving. They noted that solenoids were bad but replacement was needed. I had the transmission replaced with a new warrantied transmission but it was very expensive at 9,650. It did come with a 2-year warranty. That is half the value of the truck! This is the fourth Ford truck I have owned. I do use it as a truck and haul a few things around as projects dictate but do little towing, drive it reasonably, and do not take it off-roading. I have never had a transmission fail before. The Ford dealer, and three area shops, noted they see "a lot of 10-speeds" come in for transmission rebuild or replacement. As a now review many Ford forums I see many people with issues surrounding the durability of the 10-speed transmission.

Since owning the vehicle, I have experienced a range of serious transmission issues. These include harsh or delayed gear shifts, inconsistent downshifts, and transmission slipping. The vehicle also frequently jerks or lurches during gear changes. Of particular concern is the vehicle’s behavior during downshifting. At times, the transmission downshifts abruptly and causes the vehicle to lunge forward unexpectedly. This unpredictable behavior presents a significant safety concern, particularly in traffic situations where smooth and predictable vehicle response is essential. These transmission issues negatively affect the safety, drivability, and reliability of the vehicle and are not consistent with normal operation.

My transmission has failed at 131,000 miles on my vehicle. It roughly shifts into reverse and harshly shifts while in drive and the vehicle is in motion. My truck shakes while the transmission searches for gears and shifts slowly requiring extra power to move in normal operating conditions.

Airbags: passenger rear and front side airbags did not deploy after being struck on the passenger side by another vehicle. Seatbelts: were ineffective Vehicle was sold due to system failures and equipment issues. Safety: Head and body trauma due to non deployment. Inspection: Unknown No system messages before collision

10th gear, gear ratio incorrect. CDF drum failure. Rough shifts from 3-4 struggles to shifts into park and reverse.

Vehicle has around 50K miles and driver rear leaf spring corroded and broke, review of right rear leaf spring also showed corrosion and metal thinning. Truck has no off road time nor heavy loads in bed. I had to replce both springs at my cost even though Ford is aware of the 2019-2020 Ranger spring issues and refused to replace the springs. This is a serious safety issue that places the occupants and other drivers at risk. The mechanic said he’s replaced over a dozen broken leaf springs on model years 2019 and 2020. The manufacturer is being intentionally negligent and even the dealer parts counter agreed the springs are faulty, saying they sell quite a few regularly.

My truck experienced a P0302 misfire on the freeway, which caused it to shake immediately and made it very difficult to drive. I had it towed to the dealership, and they told me there was water in the spark‑plug wells, which was surprising since I live in Las Vegas, NV, where it rarely rains. My spark plugs were rusted as well as the cylinder head. After looking into it online, I discovered that Ford issued TSB‑23‑2011 for the Ford Ranger due to a windshield cowl leak that allows water to drip directly onto the engine. Their proposed fix is to install an engine cover, but that clearly doesn’t solve the issue since my truck already has the engine cover installed. Now I’m stuck paying for repairs caused by a design flaw that Ford never properly addressed.

he 2019 Ford Ranger the VIN [XXX] , the driver’s side AC only blows hot due to the climate control issue addressed in Fords service bulletin SSM 51313. This is a known issue with the early production model of the Ranger, hence the service bulletin SSM 51313. It is my belief that faulty parts were used on the early model Rangers and instead of a recall or extending the warranty on this issue only issued a service bulletin was put out. I am writing to have the Ford MOCO issue the proper recall or cover repairs under and extended warranty. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The vehicle is experiencing a severe power train failure involving erratic and violent gear selection. The transmission unexpectedly jumps from 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gear directly up to 7th or 8th gear, resulting in a total loss of acceleration. This is immediately followed by the transmission "slamming" down into lower gears, usually 1st or 2nd gear without driver input. This behavior is accompanied by a strong burning smell and a dashboard "wrench" warning light. The symptoms match the manufacturing defect documented in Ford TSB 24-2101 (CDF clutch drum). Diagnosis & Manufacturer Response: The issue began in October 2025 with a noticeable transmission shudder. I paid for two transmission flushes at Big O Tires to attempt to resolve the issue, but the mechanical failure has since escalated. When the "wrench" light appeared, an independent diagnostic computer was unable to retrieve an error code, as the light is a proprietary Ford powertrain indicator. Furthermore, the wrench light clears upon restarting the vehicle, despite the violent shifting and burning smell remaining. Ford Corporate agents claim there are "no known issues" and have refused to assist with towing, despite an active NHTSA Engineering Analysis (PE 24-001) regarding this exact 10R80 transmission. Safety Risk: This defect creates an extreme safety hazard. Violent downshifting into low gears at highway speeds can cause a loss of vehicle control or a rear-end collision. The burning smell indicates internal friction and fluid oxidation, posing an immediate fire risk or the potential for a catastrophic mechanical lock-up.

The transmission stutters at sustained modest speed (25-45 mph). It was taken to the dealer, who determined it was affected by tsb 25-2134. This is a widely known issue and the dealer refused any servicing without payment. This should have been a recall, since hundreds of known issues in and out of warranty have occurred.

The automatic transmission and related transmission control system malfunctioned. The vehicle experienced improper shifting and loss of gears, including a condition in which 4th gear is disabled due to a failsafe logic triggered by the transmission control module. The vehicle and all affected components are currently available for inspection upon request and are at a Ford-authorized dealership. This malfunction posed a safety risk because the vehicle was unable to shift normally or maintain consistent acceleration. The unpredictable shifting and loss of gears could create hazardous situations when merging, accelerating, or driving at highway speeds, potentially endangering the driver and others. The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by a Ford dealership. After inspection and diagnostic testing, the dealership advised that the transmission requires replacement. The vehicle has been inspected by a Ford-authorized dealer. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer directly, police, or insurance representatives (UNKNOWN). Prior to the failure, warning messages and drivability symptoms were present. Specifically, the transmission control module detected an issue when attempting to shift into 4th gear, triggering a failsafe mode that disabled 4th gear for the remainder of the key cycle. These symptoms appeared before the full transmission failure and progressively worsened over time.

2019 ford ranger, 74,000 miles On way to pick up girlfriends engagement ring…. The truck started jerking, loosing power, no engine light came on. Turned around to go home and drive about 8 miles under 45 mph.Then truck started jerking again , like transmission issue. Engine light and tool wrench came on. As I was pulling in driveway, truck went into “limp” mode. Had it towed to Gullo Ford Conroe. Now they are saying need new transmission due to Internal transmission failure! Shouldn’t Ford. Over this! Only 60,000 mile warranty.

During a PA State inspection, a leaf spring was discovered to be broken.

The climate control system on my 2019 Ford Ranger has a recurring failure that prevents the vehicle from properly adjusting temperature or directing air through the vents. The failure causes a constant clicking/snapping noise behind the dashboard, and the blend door does not move when the temperature is changed. This malfunction matches Ford’s published SSM 49264, which identifies a known defect in 2019–2020 Rangers built on or before 7/30/2020 and states that the entire HVAC housing assembly must be replaced. This issue creates a safety hazard because the truck cannot reliably defrost the windshield in cold or wet weather. Loss of defrosting capability severely limits visibility and makes safe operation of the vehicle difficult. The issue is reproducible every time the temperature is adjusted. The problem began when the vehicle was still within the original mileage window of the factory warranty, but the dealership did not repair it. Ford has confirmed the malfunction is caused by the blend door system, yet they have refused goodwill coverage for a repair that requires full dash removal and replacement of a known defective part. There were no warning lights, but the clicking noise and loss of temperature control began well before the warranty expired. The vehicle continues to experience the defect, and it poses an ongoing visibility and safety risk. Ford has acknowledged this exact failure mode in writing (SSM 49264), but has not issued a recall or safety campaign.

Transmission shifting issues. Will shift out of gear or delay shifting several seconds and sometimes limited power. The 1080r 10 speed transmission has a know design flaw that was finally fixed in 2023. My 2019 is now having the issue and is $8000 to fix for a bushing that moves out of place

Truck looses gear when pulling into traffic. It will shift out of gear and only allow coasting. At speeds of 40 MPH and higher it will down shift causing dramatic reduced speed with no brake warning to other drivers behind. It will also randomly loose power. It will have delayed shifts squealing tires upon shifting and excessive jerking that is uncontrollable.

I have had my 2019 Ford Ranger in for service to address issues with the transmission on 3 different occasions starting in Fall of 2023. Each time paying $106 for the deductible on the warranty to service a "Technical Service Bulletin" (TSB). Each time, being told of a different TSB that they would be addressing. Never addressing them all at the same time. In May of 2025, still experiencing the same/similar issues, I brought in in again only to be told that there was a TSB that they did not service, that my warranty had expired. Upon searching the internet, there are many people reporting similar issues with a similar response from Ford. I have spoken to multiple dealerships as well as reached out to Ford car with little to no response.

Repeated failure of HVAC system, even after repairs, leads to not only a very cold truck in January in Maine, but inability to defrost the windshield and keep it defrosted. Repairs have been made in January 2025, April 2025, and now has to be repaired again in December 2025. My independent service provider who subscribes to OEM Ford subscriptions, was not made aware of an "internal" service memo until now. Neither from the subscription services or from contacts at a Ford dealer where he resourced parts and repair info. SSM 51313 indicates a different repair than was made on the previous two attempts. These repairs require the disassembly and reassembly of the instrument panel and are very expensive - especially when not apprised of correct. Now the SSM indicates a complete housing replacement to correct the defective part. See attached forms.

On November 7th. 2025, I took my Ranger to my mechanic for it's yearly emissions and inspection, to have the tires rotated and brakes changed. He called me later that day and had sent me pictures of BOTH rear leaf springs broken off from the under carriage. He stated that he could not tell how long they were like this and asked if I had any issues driving. I did not notice any noise or driving issues. He stated that he is shocked that I did not wreak the truck by loosing control because it should have caused my rear to be bouncing all over. He contacted FORD and asked if there was a recall on them and was told "No". He then instructed me to file a complaint with you. He ordered the parts and replaced fixed the issue.

Hood/cowling along the windshield allows water to leak under the hood of the vehicle and wets the coils and plugs causing the engine to mis fire and shutter violently. This engine mis fire and sudden lack of power can cause the vehicle to obstruct the flow of traffic resulting in an accident. Problem was reproduced by the dealer and they replace coils, plugs, and installed an accessory engine cover to prevent the issue in the future. All at my cost. The problem remains that there are many Ford Rangers on the road unaware of this problem. This problem is documented in a Ford TSB but a more aggressive approaching is needed to resolve this issue.

I’ve been noticing a delay in shit out of 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 9th gear. Sometimes it slams but most of the time not. Anyways, this morning on my way to work I passed a slow driver on 2 lane road. After I merged back into the lane, I resumed cruise control and basically lost all power to the wheels. The vehicle I passed about slammed into the back of me. I canceled cruise control to give gas and the transmission was fighting me to stay in a gear. It finally caught and I drove it the rest of the way to work with the “normal” 1,3,6,and 9 being weird. My safety and the other vehicles safety was definitely at risk. The was no warning lights that came on. I haven’t had it checked out yet because this is same day

My complaint isn't about my vehicle. My complaint pertains to pickup truck and SUV lighting. The lighting on these vehicles have become so bright that they blind oncoming drivers. In addition, I was recently blinded by the lights on a lifted pickup truck, that was following behind me. The lights on these vehicles have become so bright that they present a hazard to other drivers. This hazard is made worse when the vehicles are lifted (body or big wheels). Please consider taking action to address this problem.

The front eyes of both leaf springs were broke. Took truck to local shop to repair a tire leak and they called me to ask me how I drove the truck there as they never saw anything like it before. This is a major component that maintains the rear axle geometry and could have been a safety risk and should never be a concern on a 5 year old vehicle with under 100,000 miles. Vehicle has not been inspected by any other parties than the shop and myself. No symptoms were detected.

Both rear leaf springs broke at the eye on the forward anchor bushing, leaving both leaf springs not anchored at one end. This was undetectable until the truck was lifted for an oil change. It was not detected and released back to me to drive. The rear axle was only anchored at 2 of the 3 anchor points. If one of the other anchor points was compromised the result could have been catastrophic depending on the driving conditions. I drove the vehicle locally until i figured out the clunking noise. Both leaf springs were replaced by a certified repair shop. There have been other reports of the same problem with no re-calls

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that while in reverse(R), the backup camera initially projected three lines at the bottom of the screen, distorting the driver’s vision. The contact stated that over time, the camera displayed a blank or distorted image, and the message "Camera Not Accessible" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, and the backup camera was reset. The reset initially repaired the failure; however, the failure returned soon after the reset. The contact made two attempts to reach the manufacturer, but the call was disconnected each time. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.

My 2019 Ford Ranger 4x4 was bought new in April of 2019 and has approxiamatly 73,400 miles. Over time a slight glitch in the transission got to be more frequent. When first starting out within the first mile of operation, the vehicle would hang between gears and act like it ran out of fuel for a few seconds at low speed, as in pulling out from a stop sign or accelerating from a dead stop. My guess is inbetween first and second or second and third gear. It just wouldn'd go. Fortunatley I was not involved in any accidents. I can see where this could easily cause a mjor accident. There are several TSB's for this transmission and I believe Ford and General Motors use this same transmission. I have had my truck at the dealer for almost a month after it got scary to drive it got scary to drive. They are repairing this and contributing to the cost. I feel ike they no there is a problem and probably should have done a recall before someone gets killed.

While backing up out of a parking space, my BLIS system did not give me a warning letting me know there was a pole to my left side...finally, it beeped just once as I backed into the pole...no other warning. Estimate of repair is $4900. My neighbor was with me and can confirm everything

The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that there was rainwater inside the engine cylinders, causing two spark plugs to rust and malfunction. The spark plugs, spark plug boots, and spark plug coils were replaced and the vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that recently, while the vehicle was in for routine maintenance, the mechanic discovered rainwater inside the engine cylinders again. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in an Extended Warranty coverage related to the failure. The failure mileage was 44,825.

My transmission failed on the highway. I was merging on the highway one day and all of a sudden I felt a sudden reduction in power which was dangerous for the people behind me, and heard an awful grinding/whining noise. I immediately limped it to the dealership and was told several days later the transmission (Ford 10R80) had a catastrophic failure and was lucky to get it to the dealership. This is unacceptable and I know I’m not the only one with issues with these transmissions. The dealership told me it happens all the time. This is a safety issue and unacceptable for the truck that is 5 years old.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at the dealer for a tire rotation, the contact was informed that the tires were unable to be rebalanced due to swollen lug nuts. The vehicle was then taken to Goodyear, who was also unable to rotate the tires. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.

Own a 2019 Ford Ranger, which is experiencing severe transmission issues including harsh and delayed shifting. A diagnostic scan revealed code P07F7-00, which matches Ford's TSB 24-2046 / 25-2024, related to known defects in the 10R80 10-speed transmission. Despite this being a documented issue, authorized Ford dealerships have refused to properly diagnose the TSB entirely and claiming it was no longer valid. This unresolved defect affects the safety and reliability of my vehicle. I am filing a complaint to request that the NHTSA investigate this widespread problem and consider issuing a recall to address the transmission defect affecting many Ford Rangers (and other vehicles with this transmission). Thank you for your attention to this serious safety concern.

Vehicle lurching and loosing power, almost caused accident. Determined DPFE sensor had water in it, replaced sensor. Problem continued with slipping gears and mis-shift. Transmission fluid was burnt and had metal shavings. Repair was complete transmission replacement. Vehicle has 94000 miles.

Truck has issue with crank position sensor issue caused due to defective design of on 2.3l ecoboost first incident shut off at 65 mph took the dealer was told it was defective crank position sensor second time a month later same thing happens third time three or four months later happens again take the dealer this time they said that it was oil permeation on the sensor itself said it was due to leak in front timing cover of motor whereas oil had ripped onto the sensor causing it to not be triggered therefore shutting down the truck completely no limp mode just dead no power also lost all systems including adaptive cruise control, anti-lock brakes, traction control, power steering, forward radar everything!! luckily all three times that this has happened have managed to not crash or get hit in the process of malfunction.my complaint is that this is a four-wheel drive truck and if the sensor is that touchy then maybe they should have shielded it now dealers requesting $2,200 to fix problem after already paying $1500 the first time to have it fixed

The transmission in my truck has worked excellently with no sign of wear or degredation in performance, that was until the transmission suddenly began hesitating and slamming into gear. This is a common problem with this vehicle and is reported online incredibly frequently, while this may seem like a simple mechanical issue it did cause a completely lost of power when making a left hand turn which nearly caused me to be T-bone'd by oncoming traffic, and the hard shifting makes throttle response incredibly unpredictable. Please help us with this, there are recalls on the transmission in these trucks in multiple other countries with the chance of death as a consequence being openly stated. Me and my loved ones were almost killed because of this transmission which has widespread problems and NEEDS to be recalled before someone does lose their life. Ford has claimed this to be due to the adaptive learning software in the truck, but coincidentally has also redesigned a critical component in the transmission that causes these types issues three times now, but with zero effort to notify the customer of the risk or to openly address the problem.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle decelerated to 35 MPH. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the transmission was skipping gear, slipping, and shifting hard. The check engine warning light was briefly illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the head gasket was failing. The dealer stated that coolant was intruding into the engine, and there was engine oil was entering into the spark plugs, causing engine failure. The dealer also diagnosed the vehicle with transmission failure. The head gasket and the transmission were replaced; however, the failure persisted. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle needed to be drive more often for the vehicle to run properly. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, Mountain Grove Ford (11311 Bus Dr #60, Mountain Grove, MO 65711); and the vehicle was diagnosed with a transmission fluid leak and fractured head gasket. The head gasket was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The transmission jerked abnormally when the vehicle was shifted into park on an incline. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The manufacturer opened a case regarding the failures and extended the warranty for the transmission. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

Driver side leaf spring broke

After hookup of any type of trailer to electrical on vehicle, left turn signal fails to operate on vehicle or trailer, and warning message is displayed on panel. After disconnection of trailer operation of all turn signals in vehicle resume as designed.

My tail lights just stopped working. I didn't know that they were out until someone behind me told me that they were out. I didn't have any collision, nothing like that. I called the Ford Dealership and they told me to bring it in so that they can see what the problem is. They have been having issues with tail lights just going out.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer for routine maintenance and the dealer became aware that the driver’s side rear leaf spring at the front end where the shackle bolt passes through the eyelet on the leaf spring was fractured. The contact stated that the dealer advised that the leaf spring could be replaced; however, the contact declined the repair. The contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.

I HAD NOTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THAT THE BACK OS THE BACK SEAT WOULD NOT LATCH LEAVING IT TO SWING FORWARD WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND SLAMMING BACK WHEN ACCELERATING. WHEN I CHECKED THE LATCH I COULD NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT MY TRUCK INTO CAPITAL FORD IN CARSON CITY FOR SOME OTHER PROBLEM AND ASKED THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE SEAT PROBLEM. AFTER OTHER REPAIRS WERE DONE, MY SERVICE ADVISOR, JOSEPH CONROY ADVISED ME THAT THE REPAIR OF THE SEAT WOULD COST APPROX. $400-$500. CONROY ALSO RELATED THAT THE LATCH PART WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE PART TO FAIL AND HE REPLIED BY SAYING THAT THE PART HAD GONE THROUGH A RE-DESIGN AND A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE REPAIR WAS SENT OUT TO DEALERSHIPS. WHEN I SAID THAT THIS APPEARED TO BE A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE AND THAT I HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE OF THE PART REDESIGN, HE TOLD ME TO CONTACT FORD. I CONTACTED FORD AND WAS ASSIGNED TO "LAPORTIA" AS MY ADVISOR AND SHE IS WORKING TOWARDS SECURING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, BUT NO INTEREST IN THE SAFETY ASPECT OF THE COMPLAINT. MY TRUCK'S ORIGINAL WARRANTY ENDED JUST THIS PAST DECEMBER BUT IS STILL COVERED BY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY.

10R80 Transmission delays Shifts and slams into gear when it does shift extremely hard.Has caused my back pain. This is a known defect caused by the CD&F drum bushing. This problem has almost caused me and my family to be killed at an Intersection since the vehicle will not accelerate while waiting for gear selection.

Transmission failer. Lurches at start up even in park refuses to shift gears

Transmission feels like it is delayed in engaging gears at various speeds. Stop and go traffic is most noticeable. When it does change gears, it often feels jerky. Lower speeds at most noticeable but over 50mph seems to run fine.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated while operating the vehicle, the transmission was shifting while shifting rough from first to second gear. The contact stated that over time, the failure progressed and had occurred while shifting into gear. The contact stated that the failure had self-corrected as the engine warmed up. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic who confirmed that the transmission was faulty. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 77,000.

I started hearing a ticking sound under the dash on the driver's side. Then it would blow hot air on drivers side and cold air on passenger side whether it was on heat or air conditioning. We also smelt plastic once in awhile. I took it in and was told it was it was the actuator. They replaced that and that took care of the noise but not the 2 different air Temps. Took it back and now was told the distribution housing needs to be replaced. I have read on a recall for the HVAC system it could catch on fire so the melting plastic smell concerns me.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the check engine warning light started flashing off and on, and the vehicle failed to properly accelerate. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer, who diagnosed that there was water inside the cylinders, causing a misfire. The contact was advised that the spark plugs, and coil packs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The contact was advised to have an engine cover installed to prevent the water intrusion from reoccurring. The contact stated that the higher trim level of the same vehicle came equipped with the engine cover already installed to prevent the failure from occurring. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 28,000. The VIN was not available.

Transmission is pushing forward from 1st to 2nd gear. Pushing so hard that it hard to stop

Leaf Spring failed at forward mount of driver side. Vehicle was never over weight nor ever towed anything.

When I use my back up camera it either goes all black or is distorted to the point where I cannot see what is behind my truck. This occurs randomly when I put the truck in reverse.

Transmission bucks and shutters at low RPM. Dealer did not disclose the transmission issues

The transmission is shifting hard, delay in shifting, and slipping gears. All of this started when my vehicle reached 50,000 miles. Ford has issued a TSB for the issue, but refuses to cover the cost of repairs. Ford is reporting this issue in all 10R80 transmissions installed in several of their models.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, there was smoke was coming from the rear of the vehicle. There were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with coolant intrusion into the cylinder, causing engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The repair was pending. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated while driving approximately 10-15 MPH into the driveway at the residence, the vehicle lost electrical power and the vehicle shutoff as if there was no fuel going to the engine. The contact stated that there also a message that the rearview camera was inoperable, along with messages that features inside the cabin of the vehicle was inoperable. The contact restarted the vehicle and the vehicle shutoff immediately. The contact stated that the engine was not receiving fuel because the fuel pump was on the wiring harness that was not operating as needed. The contact stated that the messages “Cross Traffic Sensor Disconnected", “Rear Parking Sensor Disconnected” and "Rearview Camera Disconnected" were displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the electrical connector to the camera was corroded and not properly seated. The contact was informed that Part Numbers: LUTZ-14X411-NA and LUTZ-14X411-AAA needed to be replaced. The contact researched and became aware of a recall; however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,064.

This is in relation to an existing recall on the 2019 Ford Ranger, NHTSA Recall no. 19V-839 This recall was for improperly connected inline electrical connectors from the Ford factory causing issues with rear brake lamps. I have recently had a fault with the same connector, which Ford technicians discovered was not properly connected. This connector failed due to the loose connection, causing all electrical connections in the rear frame (fuel pump, rear view camera, cross traffic warning, parking sensors) to fail. Upon discovering recall 19V-839, I contacted Ford support. I was informed that my truck was built in the same factory as the recalled vehicles, but was completed three days after the impacted period ( JUN 04, 2018 - AUG 16, 2019). Therefor Ford will not consider my issue part of the recall. Ford has advised me to bring this up to the NHTSA to broaden the scope of the recall. I It seems clear to me that this issue was the same as the recall, and likely the original dates were too narrow. I hope you will investigate this issue.

Rear leaf spring failure at the front mounting point. This happened while the bed was empty and under normal driving conditions. The dealer would not say if this part would be replaced due to a defect because the vehicle was past the manufacture warranty. I will replace the part myself due to how long the dealer said it would take to schedule me for an appointment as I can not go without a vehicle for more than a month.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated while driving 10 MPH in the driveway and depressing the brake pedal to make a turn, the vehicle lunged forward and accelerated unintendedly.

There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a related recall. The contact stated while her husband was in the process of parking the vehicle in the driveway, the contact's husband depressed the accelerator pedal to drive forward, and the failure recurred, causing the vehicle to crash into two other unoccupied vehicles that were parked in the driveway. The air bags did not deploy. There was no injury sustained. No police report was filed. There was no property damage. The dealer was notified of the failure.

The ten-speed transmission "10R80" has Rough and harsh shifting, "upshifts and downshifts," which sometimes causes the vehicle to lunge forward unexpectedly. The dealer has reprogrammed the transmission twice with no change.

At 68k miles and one month past the 5 year warranty, the CDF drum broke off causing metal to fly loose in the transmission/ creating etchings in the transmission. The entire transmission needed to be replaced because of loss of pressure in the transmission. The vehicle was attempting to shift into first and second gear driving at 80mph.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked forward while slightly depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. In addition, the transmission was shifting hard while shifting from first through third gear.

The 10R80 10 speed transmission in my truck has failed, due to the steel to aluminum drum being different materials it cause pre mature catastrophic failure. the damaged components resulted in needing a full overhaul/rebuild of my transmission at my full expense. my ford dealer stated there is a known tech service bulletin about this exact failure which means ford knows there's a problem but will not fix it. the resulting damage was the sun gear has failed, the drum has failed, and there are chunks missing from gears 5,6 and 7, which also resulted in needing a new valve body, and new torque converter. i opted to take my ranger to a independent shop as i no longer trusted ford to rebuild the transmission correctly and i do also have the failed components. The safety issues were losing all drive train function randomly when in operation, on several occasions this happened on the freeway at freeway speeds, or sitting in stop and go traffic and the the truck would just rev but not go anywhere, both scenarios have happened with my kids in the vehicle putting there lives in danger. Yes the problem has been confirmed by both the ford dealer and the independent transmission shop. yes i brought the parts to the ford dealer to look at, but they do remain in my possession. no, there were lights or indicators that a failure was happening, ive done all the ford recommended maintenance at the time it was due, the hard shift had always been there but i was told that's just how it was on multiple occasions. this is a known issue and i have spoken with several other 2019-2023 ford ranger owners and majority have had the exact same issues occur.

When turning on to another road and accelerating, engine will suddenly loose all power. releasing accelerator will regain some power until vehicle speed increases. Throttle control is often erratic and transmission shifting is inconsistent resulting in hard clunks during shift. Pulling into traffic with a sudden loss of power leaves me vulnerable to a collision.

In my 2019 Ford Ranger, which has 75,570 miles, on [XXX], I was at a stop sign on [XXX] , at [XXX] , near Statesboro, GA, waiting for a break in traffic to safely cross. When a safe break occurred, I proceeded to cross, and at about the halfway point of crossing, the transmission bucked, and the truck began to slow to a halt. As a tractor trailer was bearing down on me broadside, the transmission jumped into gear, and I was able to proceed, and narrowly avoided a broadside collision. Afterward, the warning lamp indicated a powertrain malfunction (wrench) light. I took the truck to my local Autozone, where I used their OBD, and the test result fault was "Power Train System, P07F7-00, Gear 10 Incorrect Ratio". I have an appointment at Metter Ford to repair the issue on January 17th, 2025. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle independently accelerated. The contact turned off the vehicle for the vehicle to stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 65,000.

Truck has noticeable hard shifts into reverse and drive. Sometimes searching for gear while accelerating.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated while his wife was driving from a complete stop and releasing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle continued to accelerate unintendedly until the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated the vehicle experienced hard shifts from first gear to third gear. The contact stated that the transmission was slipping while driving in the higher gears. Additionally, the contact stated while attempting to drive from a complete stop on a hill, the vehicle rolled backwards upon depressing the accelerator pedal, nearly causing a crash. The driver turned off and restarted the vehicle, and shifted into drive(D), and the vehicle responded as needed. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the transmission fluid was replaced; however, the failure got progressively worse. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed; however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

Transmission 10R80, 10 speed. Had HARD shifting, 1st to 2nd gear, excessive engine RPM in 1st gear then dropping hard into 2nd causing tire squawk. Hesitation in power after hard shift causing loss of acceleration, dangerous in heavy traffic. No warning lights and no fault codes produced. Warranty time period expired mid June 2024. Mileage at 52236 was under 60000 limit. Ford dealership refused to cover any costs. Complaints filed with Ford Motor Company twice. Corp refused any support or compensation. Vehicle was taken to independent Certified Mechanic who verified the problems. Mechanic followed Ford Technical Bulletins to make repairs. Three separate steps in the repair process produced no favorable results. Transmission had to be removed and rebuilt with Ford factory OEM parts. Several parts replaced were of new design, indicating Ford knows of the problems and is attempting to redesign the transmission, but NOT supporting customers out of warranty. Since this was our only vehicle a rental was needed for two weeks while the repair process was followed per Ford Technical Bulletins. Total cost of repairs $7301.82 for vehicle 2 months out of warranty with less than 53000 miles. Also having problems with the Sync System that the dealership also refused to even test at no charge. Since we did not feel safe with this vehicle, nor did it seem reliable, we traded the truck in for a Nissan. We are seeking reimbursement for all costs of repairs and rental cars. Ford needs to issue a recall and reimburse customers regardless of miles and warranty expirations. I have receipts for all expenditures and all parts removed and replaced on/in the transmission. Documents can be supplied upon request.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated while driving 65-70 MPH, the transmission was slipping. The wrench symbol was displayed on the instrument panel. The check service manual message was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that there was no warranty coverage on the vehicle for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Rear leaf springs cracked, rusted, and broke on my 2015 Ford Ranger. Repair of one side estimate to be $1000

I took this vehicle in on 5-19-2020 for recall (19543/NSTSA Recall 19V-839). Local dealership removed skid plate, inspection/pass. Over the next 3 yrs. the p/u was taken in because of battery drainage & then battery replacement. May 2024 it was taken in as all the rear lights stopped working (exactly what was stated in the recall letter would happen). Was told at the time that the topper, which a very reputable dealer put on, did the wiring wrong so I was charged over $1300 for repairing the wiring. The topper was put on in 2019, recall was 2020, and nothing was found then. An inspection was done and not replacement of rear lights wiring. I came very close to several rear-end collisions as I hadn't realized no rear lights in May 2024. Now, I'm getting "System Off to save battery. Please turn ignition off or start engine" again on the console. I've contacted Ford at Dearborn and was referred back to local dealership and they have given me the run around. I was in a week and half ago to show them all the paperwork, was told they'd look it over and give me a call. I've heard nothing. I'm upset that the recall work wasn't done in 2020 but had to pay for the same work to be done in 2024. Since the work done in May 2024 really didn't handle the battery being drained, I'd like a new pickup as this one seems to be a lemon, or the dealership isn't doing what they said they did. I have paperwork, but it wouldn't scan onto document.

In the past 3 months, my 2019 Ford ranger has had a multitude of issues come up all at once. First, my transmission destroyed a gear and needed to be rebuilt. Next was an engine misfire code that Ford detected, and ended up being spark plugs at 66k miles. The current issue is that my fan clutch failed, causing it to rip off the wiring harness that was nearby that led to the oil pressure sensor. This caused an instant loss in power on the highway and almost caused an accident. This truck has been given servicing on every mileage checkpoint that it was suppose to.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that there was a misfire in the engine. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that there was water build up in the spark plug wells, and there were signs of corrosion on electrical component. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact about Technical Service Bulletin Number: 23-2011 and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 81,000.

Transmission is in signs of failure. Ford is offering updates to the computer to attempt to remedy the issue. Very similar behavior across all models with this family of 10 speed transmissions. Discouraging for owners just coming out of warranty. TSBs show Ford knows of these issues. No warning lights, violent shifting and worse yet when the vehicle is cold the shift will be missed and make it extremely dangerous when merging into traffic. I feel like I am about to be rear ended every day leaving work. There is no way these transmissions are 'okay' or that this is considered the 'new-norm' that the Ford Dealer is pushing. I have some dash cam footage that I shared with Ford (and on my personal youtube account).

Transmission jerky. Trying to come up with a solution.

Transmission has been slipping from gears 3 into 4th & 7th into 8th. Also check engine light turns on & a wrench symbols. Then a notification pops up on my ford app in my iPhone stating powertrain 4 wheel drive problems. My vechile looses all boost from turbo and un bale to get up to any type of speed within the original engine’s capabilities.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated while driving from a complete stop and up to 45 MPH, the vehicle jerked, lunged, and shuddered while the transmission was shifting gear. Additionally, the contact stated that the transmission was slipping while in low gear and in higher gears. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000. The VIN was not available.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds on several occasions, the vehicle downshifted unexpectedly. An unknown warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Apparently the heater box in the 2019 Ranger is prone to warping. This leads to malfunctions in the heat/ac in the cabin. They tell me if I don’t get it replaced I could wind up getting ac instead of heat. This would be a real problem in winter weather, as I may not be able to keep the windshield clear without heat. I saw many complaints about this happening to owners of the 2019 Ford Ranger. The fix is to remove the dashboard to install a new box at a cost of 2200.00, according to the Ford dealership I bought the truck from.

There is insufficient shielding to prevent water from reaching the top of the engine. This results in water dripping on the coil packs and also entering the spark plug wells, causing loss of spark and reduced engine output. Over time, this issue also leads to rust in the engine head, potentially resulting in engine failure. Additionally, water can reach the EGR DPFE sensor, causing the engine to hesitate and shutter at various speeds. Both of these issues together cause a misfire when applying the accelerator and will cause the vehicle to initially hesitate then surge forward. Even with the engine cover, the venting at the base of the windshield allows water to drip down on the engine head, causing the above issues. Ford does recognize that there is an issue and have written several TSBs on the it.

i HAVE A 10R80 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION WITH 102,OOO MILES . IT STARTED BUCKING ON ME WHEN CHANGING GEARS AND SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE NO POWER OR SOMETIMES WANTS TO SPEED UP ON ME. KIND OF SCARY WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ON HIGHWY

I have a 2019 Ford ranger that was built June 24th 2019 the internet states that any Ford ranger 2019 XLT built before July 30th 2019 has a recall for the HVAC system in the blower motor well my truck did not make the recall list but yet it has every single issue that they recall every time I call all they say is my vehicle VIN number is not on the recall but what is the chances that my blower motor and my blend door actuator does not work. When I bought the truck in 2021 I heard a ticking noise but the air still worked me being a female never thought much of it I thought it was my radio or something so this problem has existed since the day I bought it with 20,000 miles on it from the dealership. it has been tested by the Ford motor company and it does not work I have the same symptoms same issues and I should have my truck in the recall to get my air conditioner fixed it is a 4 year old truck and should not be broken I have on the truck for 4 years I bought it at 20,000 miles there's a ticking behind the dash and the blower motor does not work. I am disabled and live in South Carolina where is over 100° so it is a safety issue my truck should be on the recall the dealer should fix it how do I get this taken care of

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the lights on the instrument panel became inoperable, causing the vehicle to lose power. The contact stated that the messages “Unsafe Driving” and “Head-on Collision" were displayed. The contact waited until the engine cooled down before restarting and driving the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle also experienced a failure with A/C unit, and the failures became more persistent. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 42,000.

The check engine light illuminated after leaving residence and traveling less than 5 miles. Had the vehicle check by a certified ASE mechanic, He stated that my vehicle had a misfire code (PO300), if it was a PO301 OR PO302 or etc, it would indicate a specific coil was misfiring, but the PO300 is a general misfire code. Vehicle is jerking, pulling, bogging down as if doesn't want to go forward or is losing power, mechanic changed the spark pulls the first time thinking it was time due to mileage of the vehicle, and cleared the code. One week later check engine light is back on with the same PO300 code, he says we can try changing the coils next to see if this fixes the problem. I called my local ford dealer, who says the will charge me $167 dollars to diagnose the problem, and tell me whats wrong. After I have already told them what the problem is and what the code is for the problem. Which is the same code i got from my $40 code reader is the same code he got from his $1500 code reader, so what can the tell me for $ 167 that i dont already know and have told them, and from further research on recalls for this vehicle, I have found that they already know this problem exist. Ford should be responsible for repairing this know issue of engine misfires before someone dies from this engine shutting down while driving and causing a fatality on the highway.

The seat belt does not engage.

The vehicle skips gears when upshifting and does not shift through all the gears when in cruise mode. The truck will buck and bang jolting the passengers and appear to stall out without any warning. This has happened on numerous occasions and has even stalled out in the middle of a very busy intersection almost causing a collision by the truck not having enough power to coast through the intersection. Based on conversations with the dealership, this is not an isolated issue with our vehicle.

My 2019 Ford Ranger (Lariat) has as what I've discovered is a habitual problem that many other Ford Ranger owners are experiencing. While driving at lower speeds (28-40 mph) the trucks transmission will begin to knock and buck very hard. I've noticed, according to the gear indicator, that it is in either 7th or 8th gear. The problem has gotten consistently worse and I'm in fear of greater damage to the mechanics, or worse, a potential accident if it completely gives out while driving. - The truck has not had any modifications what-so-ever that would have in any way affected the transmission.

[XXX] my transmission, went out on my 2019 Ford Ranger 4 x 4. I was driving on the interstate in Houston, TX during the Friday afternoon rush-hour, when I completely lost power. It was very difficult to get off the interstate due to the traffic. I had experienced some transmission issues in the week before it failed there had been some jerking, hesitation, and the truck would lurch forward when accelerating from a stopped position and while driving there was harsh shifting. I had checked the transmission fluid and it was normal. There were no warning messages prior to it going out. I had the truck towed to a Ford dealership where I was told the transmission was still under warranty. It took the dealership nine weeks to repair the transmission. It is now one year later, and I have just started experiencing the same harsh shifting on the interstate, jerking and hesitation.

See attachment for complaint

2019 Ford Rangers were shipped without an engine cover to protect the engine from water intrusion.  This, along with the design of the plastic cowl at the base of the windshield being a 2 piece design with a seam directly over the engine bay, allows water to drain into the engine bay during periods of heavy rain. Water will drain from the windshield into the top of the engine, and begin filling the spark plug wells under the ignition coil boots and into the engine head.  This water intrusion can cause engine misfire codes as well as a loss of power while driving, and on multiple instances while merging into traffic, the engine would bog down.  It wasn't until the most recent occurrence that a check engine light came on.  I immediately pulled into a shop and they found the plug wells were rusted, corroded and full of water from this happening since the day it rolled off the lot in 2019.  I have had an independent mechanic assess the damage as well as had the vehicle towed to a local Ford dealer and they found the same condition- with the only solution to replace the engine head as they are unable to remove the plugs due to the damage caused by the water intrusion. An owner should not have to be concerned with parking or driving a vehicle in the rain and whether it will suddenly lose power while driving at highway speeds.  This is a safety issue that Ford should be forced to take care of.  They are aware of the issue and have been as they have issued multiple service bulletins with a solution for misfires to change plugs and install an engine cover.  An engine cover has no bearing on an engine misfire but it shows Ford knows water is getting into engines and causing these problems. Engine/plugs/coils failed, it is available for inspection. Mine and public safety was at risk when driving as it lost power merging into traffic.   Problem has been confirmed by dealer and independent mechanic.   Last instance (2/9/24) was first time a CEL came on while driving

Heater box went out due to a defective heater door. This caused the front windshield to ice over and not being able to see other traffic. No warm air would come out of the vents .Heater box was replaced by the Dealer at the cost to owner.

Known issue with 2019 Ford Rangers where they've issued a safety recall on SOME, but not ALL Rangers in that year. Related to SSM [XXX]: 2019-2020 Ranger - Climate Control Temperature Will Not Adjust With Clicking/Snapping Noise From The Dash - Built On Or Before 30-Jul-2020. Related to recall 19S34. There is an online thread with over 20 pages on [XXX] [XXX] ) where numerous people have reported this issue where one side no longer has A/C. This is dangerous as A/C is required in the winter to help dehumidify the air before it goes across the heater core to defrost the windshield. Ford does not want to issue a recall for all models because it's a labor intensive costly repair to replace the HVAC Distribution Box. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated while driving from a complete stop, the vehicle was jerking, and the transmission was slipping and shifting hard. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure mostly occurred while driving from 0-20 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and the dealer determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact the manufacturer was contacted and offered to partially cover the cost of the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 67,800.

The steering wheel is loose. I tried to get my truck aligned and was told they weren’t able to do it because of the steering wheel being loose

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that there was a mixture of fluid and oil inside the rear passenger’s side wheel, and onto the brake calipers and the rear axle. The dealer determined that the passenger's side rear axle seal was leaking. The dealer replaced the passenger's side rear axle seal. Additionally, the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked and jolted while the transmission skipped from 1st to 3rd gear. The contact also stated that the vehicle hesitated to respond and made an abnormal sound while accelerating and decelerating, and then jolted when shifting into gear. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring more increasingly. The dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was scheduled for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

2019 Ranger went into limp mode in traffic at the worst possible time. Error code appeared and referred to transmission fault at roughly 38k. Was taken to ford and I was told PCM just needed updating. By 45k the transmission was right back to shifting rough with sudden shifts jerking the truck. Called Ford to say hey it’s not right still. It’s continuing to downshift from 10th gear at 65mph instantly down to 3rd gear nearly ripping the transmission out. Every Ford dealership within 3.5hrs from me all told me the same thing. “We are told to say it’s normal for the 10r80 to do hard shifts. Ford knows they are a problem but want issue a recall, the only thing you can do it blow up the transmission while your under 60k warranty so they have no choice but to replace it.” Now at 80k I’m screwed and have to spend nearly 8k to fix the transmission ford said was fine.

Transmission is shifting extremely rough, lunges forward or completely disengaged in lower gears. Initially started to happen with cold starts but now continues to happen regardless of the amount of drive time. Completely unsafe when merging into traffic because transmission will either exhibit low power, shift roughly or completely disengage. Transmission has disengaged 5 times so far during initial acceleration. Issue has been confirmed by my Ford dealer. Vehicle is currently being serviced for complete transmission replacement. Dealer has told me that this a frequent complaint that they are experiencing with Ford car owners with the 10R80 transmission.

My seat belt buckle stopped working (part number KB3Z-2161203-AB) and despite the fact that my truck is less than 5 years old and has less than 60K miles on it Ford's service system says this part is not covered under the 5 year 60K mile Safety Restraint System nor the Premium Care extended warranties I have on the truck. Documentation for the warranties suggests it does but the system the Ford service techs use says no. When I've escalated to Customer Care, they claim "there is nothing they can do." Ford Protect (warranty department) says the same thing. A helpful Ford tech on the internet claims he looked into it and says the problem is that the Ford service system has the part misclassified as a "trim" part and not a "safety" part so it only recognizes it as something covered by the 3 year 36K mile bumper to bumper warranty. When I pressed and they sent me to Ford Financial Assistance for a "Goodwill Repair" I was told they would only cover 40%. I have presented pictures to Ford of their own warranty documentation that clearly states the seat belt buckles are covered and they repeatedly have pushed back saying "there is nothing we can do, it's denied." Bringing it to your attention in the hopes you can help me find the right folks at Ford to remedy this issue as anyone who has a Ford with this same base part number (2161203) is going to have this problem. I'm attaching a copy of the Ford Warranty Safety Section and a copy of the online listing for the Seat Belt Buckle.

THE TRANSMISSION "BUCKING" DURING SPEED ACCELERATION. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO DE-ACCELERATE BEFORE ACCELERATING TO DESIRE SPEED. PROBLEM: PROGRAMIMG OF THE PCM FOR THE TRANSMISSION. ACCORDING TO THE DATA COLLECTED ON THE FORD FORUM THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS ALL FORD RANGER FOR 2019 MODELS.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle lunged forward while shifting gear. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact called the local dealer and scheduled an appointment. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 26,800.

Unintended Aceleration Veheicle experienced normal stop with no anomaly. Upon release of brakes, experienced reported Wide Open Throttle" Brakes were ineffective. Vehicle accelerate thru intersection striking guardrail with significant damage. WOT stopped by shutting of engine. Vehicle currently in repair. Reported event to local dealer service dept, Insurance Rep and Ford referencing 2010 Class Action Lawsuit for similar events, All claim no knowledge of such an event. Vehicle had no previous reports of similar events

My 2019 Ford Ranger for around 9 months occasionally has a significant loss of power and acceleration from 2nd to 3rd gear. It has become dangerous to drive due to the aforementioned. My vehicle has 54019 and is under the factory power train warranty still. The dealership told me that water had entered the EGR and damaged the sensor. They already knew by their diagnostics test it wasn’t a negligence based issue. The dealership told me at least 5 other Ford Rangers have come in with the same problem and Ford will not recall it even tho they know it’s an issue. I called Ford customer satisfaction. They stated although they say powertrain and related parts in their factory warranty and this is affecting the transmission they could not get authorization to fix the known issue. Please investigate this before people get killed.

I had expressed transmission issues with the service center for over a year. Paid for transmission servicing, reprogramming, and kept all maintenance up to date. All regular maintenance has been performed, and the truck has about 80% highway miles, and been cared for and never abused. Now, Ford is telling me, the entire transmission needs to be replaced, at a high cost, and the truck has about 80k miles on it.

I was driving over a bridge at 65 mph on a foggy morning a couple weeks ago and my windshield fogged over. I turned on the defroster and it only blew cold air. I could not see and I couldn't clear it. I had to slow down and find a safe spot to pull over. I had to try to wipe down the windshield and then start driving. It did it again and i had to pull over again and wipe and wait for it to clear to be able to drive. It was foggy the next morning and I had to do the same thing all over again. I stopped by a ford dealer and spoke to someone. He told me, oh yeah we know all about it and so does ford. The ac heater chamber in the dash breaks. Costs about 2 grand to fix. All the new rangers do it. This is a safety defect and needs to be recalled by ford. Thank you.

Ticking sound when i turn off vehicle. Usually did it for about 5 seconds, Now it just keeps on ticking and sounds like it is coming from behind glove box area passenger side. Found a lot of same complaints for this year Ranger and they mention the "Blend Door". If so many complaints shouldn't it be a recall?

Vehicle presented a blind spot system fault warning and a cross traffic system fault. Immediately after this warning appears the vehicle ac/ heater shutdown, passengers seat belts light came up and radio got frozen. None of the ac/ heater controls worked. Blinkers appears to be advising that the were not working properly. Vehicle rums but everything else regarding de console stopped working.

Has same cracked valve issue showing up in f150

My Vehicle transmission skips second gear going from gear 1 to gear 3 when accelerating from a stopped position. Issue cause jerking and a clunk when gear catches. When this happens, vehicle will temporarily stall until gear catches putting driver and passengers at risk of collision if turning at intersection, proceeding through 2-way stop intersection, or on hills/ on train tracks. My vehicle has never displayed warning lights on the dash. I had the vehicle inspected at a Ford Dealer. Dealership was able to replicate the issue. Dealership related they flashed the TCM, but it did not resolve the issue and recommended replacement of transmission or rebuild. Vehicle is at 62,000 miles and is barely out of warranty. Researching the issue will lead to the Ford Ranger Forum, where multiple other people are experiencing transmission issues with this vehicle.

2019 Ford Ranger Problem-1- Engine tried to stall several times during driving and operation. Problem-2- When trying to shift from Park to forward or Reverse, the engine shuts off. My truck has been at the dealership for several weeks now and they have not been able to fix or identify the cause.

Front Passenger seatbelt locks up every single time it is used. It has been an issue since day one of purchasing the vehicle. (There is a recall for this issue, however my specific VIN is not listed.) This is a major concern of safety.

The vehicle is shifting rough between 2nd and 3rd gear. It has trouble getting up to speed through intersections.

The blindspot sensor on my truck appears to have gotten very hot. It melted the tail light and the wiring harness.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed with an abnormal squealing sound. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who replaced the brake pads and brake discs. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Owner, who had bought the truck new approx. 3 1/2 years earlier, had driven about three miles on dry, paved, residential, hilly, roads and was returning to where he was staying when he came upon a waiting line of cars. He turned around to go a different way. Coming to a slight curve the power steering (EPAS) went out. Struggling to make the curve, the power assist kicked in and jolted him off the right side of the road. Had the curve been to the left, the truck may have been thrust into the path of an oncoming vehicle. Owner then slowly soldiered on, with the truck making an intermittent noise as if trying to activate the power steering, which it sometimes did, causing the truck to swerve side to side. Owner did not mention any warning sign or alarm or message occurring during this episode. At his destination he called for help and the truck was towed to the dealer. The repair order (RO) indicates diagnostics first being done on 6-8-23, which verified the lack of power steering, and showed DTCs C1B00, U0415, and U3003. My research showed the first pertains to a steering angle sensor in the steering column, and the next two having to do with the ABS. The tech notes indicate he did pinpoint test BC1 (NO), BC2 (YES), and BC3 (YES). Next, the tech reported that the steering gear assembly had a malfunction and needed to be replaced. He added that he retrieved RVC code RA5VUMN131GXQ. Not having the steering gear assembly KB3Z3504A in stock, the replacement was not made until July. The RO said nothing about the battery, but it was learned that it had also been replaced under separate RO, which dealer has yet to provide. The dealer service rep said that even after they charged the old battery, it did not have enough power to activate an essential component; probably the new part, but I can't recall for sure. With the new battery, the DTCs, none of which I believe went to the steering gear, disappeared and the power steering apparently works. Truck is still with dealer.

See related steering problem report. After Electronic Power Steering Assist went out on vehicle without warning of any kind to owner, dealer's service department diagnostics as best as I can determine did NOT indicate a problem with the parts that were replaced. The parts replaced were: 1. steering gear/rack and pinion/EPAS (which seems to go by various names), and, when installing this new, expensive, and long-in-coming part didn't get the power steering to work, 2. the battery. The scenario suggests that the root problem was the battery, not the steering gear. A representative of another dealer has advised that the first thing they check in cases involving electronic components is the battery. He also advised that Ford does not have a standard operating procedure or service bulletin that says this is something that is to be done. Can this be? Apparently, at least for this vehicle, there was/is no system to check for adequate battery voltage or to warn that electronic components like the power steering may fail if the battery is not replaced. If my research results are correct, the Diagnostic Trouble Codes the Ford dealer repair tech found went to a steering angle sensor in the steering column, and things having to do with the anti-lock brake system. They weren't fixed, but the codes disappeared after the new battery was installed. The diagnostic tools seem to give more misdirection than direction. With so many critical electrical components in today's vehicles, the warning and diagnostic systems seem woefully inadequate. I have read about Fords limiting battery recharging to about 75% and have noted that one of the DTCs involved here, U3003, sets on-demand if the voltage supplies to the ABS module falls below 10 volts. I'm a layman, but these things suggest to me that some of the electronic components require substantial minimum operating voltage which an older battery would not supply, and the recharging cap could exacerbate the problem.

Cruising at highway speed ,truck starting bucking and losing speed. Took a minute for it to stop. Then resumed normal speed. This has happened twice. First incident was shorter in length.

The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

Ford failed to install a upper engine cover on Rangers with the 2.3 Eco Boost engine, this lets water to gather around the spark plugs causing misfires and stalling. This can cause vehicles to stall on the highway. This has been a on going problem with these vehicles. These covers were installed from the factory on Ford Explorers with the same engines from the factory. Ford service has used air to blow water from around the spark plugs. Then they tell the customer the need to buy the cover to prevent this from happening again.

The air conditioner blows hot air on the driver's side and cold air on the passenger side. No safety issues. It has not been verified by a dealer. We notified them a year ago. No warning lights.

With high outside temperatures A/C unit was on, but only the heating system was working. Air Conditioning system was not functuning and heating system would not go off. With windows down, inside tempearture was over 100 degrees and passing out due to heat was happening. Ford Dealer inspected the problem and said it was a manufacture malfunction. After repairing, the same issue developed again five days later. Ford dealer said it was another malfunctioning manufacture part.

In May of 2022 at approximatley 46,000 miles a family members 2019 Ford Ranger had the A/C unit on, but VERY hot air was blowing on drivers side. After inspection and Pin Point Test the Ford Dealership determined a manufactures Drivers Side Temp Blend Door was malfunctioning and was replaced at full charge of both parts and labor to the owner. A few days later after the manufactures malfunctioning part was replaced, the VERY same issue developed and caused a family member to pass out due to over 100 degress inside the vehicle. After OTHER inspection by the Ford Dealership it was determined the manufactures Blend Door Acuator, was malfunctioning and was replaced at full charge of both parts and labor to the owner. ON THE WEEK OF APRIL 10, 2023, THIS VIN'S FORD RANGER HAS EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AND HAS BEEN DETERMINED THE EXACT SAME MANUFACTURES PARTS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. THIS MUST BE DETERMINED AS A RECALL!

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, hot air was entering through the vents. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the air distribution box to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.

This trucks rear brake pads have been wearing unevenly since it was new. The inside rear brake pads are showing heavy wear and the outside pads are not showing even wear. This truck has been into the Kendall Ford of Wasilla Alaska for service in early 2022 and this was first noted and repaired. Now this issues has been found again by owner/operator. There seems to be and issue with the slid pins/bolts for caliper are not allowing the outside pads to slide when pedal is active. This is not an isolated issue according to blogs I have found on this issue.

Very simple I believe this car fall into the recall discovered under Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for select 2019 Ford Ranger vehicles. Affected vehicles had the heating, ventilation and air conditioning, or HVAC, blower motor replaced from Oct. 9 to Nov. 22, 2019, per recall 19534. My car has only 27k miles and ac it’s blowing hot !!! Dealer would not repair it because vin did not “have” a recall but it’s the same exact issue above

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormal cracking sound, and then the heating system became inoperable. The contact stated that he was freezing while driving in 20-degree weather. The contact was concerned that if he became stranded in traffic during a snowstorm, he would freeze. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the heating duct was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and agreed to cover a portion of the cost of the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

Purchased this vehicle (2019 Ford Ranger XLT), in 2019. Over the last month or so, started developing a shimmy when starting out, bad shimmy when slowing down. Had the brakes checked, no issue. Continued it get worse, developing harder shimmy when starting and braking, began feeling a delay in shifting gears. Dropped it off where I purchased it, Priority Ford Norfolk, was told that the transmission needed to be replaced. 3 year old truck, transmission went bad. After during research, these particular transmissions (10 speed) was installed in Rangers, F150s, Explorers etc. This transmission issue poses a risk to safety when driving. When slowing down, it had major difficulty down shifting and coming to a smooth stop, it would feel like it was locking up.

The actuator motor is not working. This is a common complaint of the 2019 Ford Ranger and is noted in Ford's SSM 49264. Certainly a service bulletin identifying a need to replace the entire climate control housing assembly is worthy of a recall. This truck has 23, 000 miles on it and is just out of warranty.

It looks like on some 2019 Ford Rangers (mine included), there is a faulty blend door in the heater box assembly. Note this issue is not present in other model years due to Ford correcting the defective part. This defective part causes the switch between hot and cold air to fail. My truck got stuck on hot and the dealer replaced it under warranty. The replacement has now failed 6 months (3000) miles later. This issue can prevent the heat from functioning properly in cold weather, which means the defrost is ineffective - requiring the driver to manually clear the windshield. The issue is that Ford A) knows there is a defect that can impact the safe operation of the vehicle B) These vehicles would likely be covered under the manufacturer warranty due to low miles from 2020 (COVID) but has not made efforts to notify owners of the defect C) will gladly charge $3,000-$4,000 for this repair once the warranty expires (which has happened for many 2019 vehicles by this point). Profiteering on a known factory defect is unacceptable!

Back up camera is blurry unable to identify objects. I know there’s been a recall on many of the back up cameras but none on my vehicle since I have a back up camera that is blurry and unable to identify objects. Clearly, how do I go about getting it fixed?

My vehicle's heater stopped working mid-drive. I heard a loud POP sound and then the air that came out of the vent was room temperature. I pulled over and stopped the vehicle. Waited a minute and restarted it. The temperature did not change. I was driving on Highway 80 over Donner pass in the Sierra mountains. The temperature was very cold and my window began fogging up. I then had to continue my drive by wiping my windshield from the inside with a rag every 15 seconds or so to maintain visibility enough to drive. As the snow was coming down and it was getting dark, I needed to keep going as it would have been too cold to stay in the vehicle and wait out the storm. Now, driving the vehicle is hazardous because I do not have proper defrosting capability. I took it to a dealership and they estimated roughly $4000 in repairs to fix the issue. The car is barely 3 years old.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that they had received a notification on the main control computer screen and the vehicle's notifications app indicated that there was an electrical failure occurring with the steering. The contact then stated at the same time the vehicle began to self-direct causing an excessive amount of force required to steer the vehicle. The brakes became difficult to depress causing an excessive amount of pressure to be applied on the brake pedal in order to get the vehicle to come to a stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 16,000.

No further assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 17,000.

This truck we have had in the shop for the transmission 5 different times the truck at all different speeds jerks like the gear is not igniting in then starts to shake the shop has reported that it does not shift properly then yesterday Dec 24th, 2022 the trucks wrench came on the breaks locked up and the power train locked up I have all documents we purchased the truck in March 2022 and have been having this transmission issue since I have contacted Ford numerous times and also emailed numerous times the dealership we purchased the truck from has done nothing except keep reprogramming the computer in the system which is not the issue the transmission is under warranty to 60000 miles and we have been having this issue since June 2022. Now that everything locked up on the vehicle we are not safe to even take the truck out on the road we do not want to get injured no the defective issue causing an accident and someone else getting injured. Ford has done nothing to fix or solve the issue at this point the vehicle has 59105.3 miles on it should not be having these issues and the dealership automotive repair shop not fixing the issue at this point need to buy this vehicle back and not sell it it is to dangerous and can cause injuries. We have been trying since June 2022 to get this truck fixed. 3 months after purchasing it and sales rep that sold it to us at Parkway Nissan, Ford Chrysler just says have to take it to their shop which has not done a thing to fix the issue. 12/24/2022 the power train wrench light came on breaks locked up we had a hard time to even start the truck then the breaks was not properly working and started making a noise.

My brake lights, turn signals, running lights, and hazards don't work. The Ford dealership has inspected it. There were no warning signs or symptoms prior to failure.

Transmission clunk jerky and sifting not right. 10r80 transmission just like the f150. Took to ford dealer twice still with same issues. Driving is not safe for roads with traffic and I know others feel the same too

The drivers side seat heater short circuited and melted the seat cover and foam. The short circuit left an approximately 1 inch hole through the seat.

Both of my taillights no longer work, at first it was intermittent and they would come back on but after a while nothing worked. No turn signal, hazard, or brake lights for the rear taillights only. The overhead one above the bed still works. The vehicles behind me cannot tell whether I am braking, turning or driving. It appears this was a common issue on earlier vehicles in production. It has been reproduced by an independent service center. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer, and no there was no other symptoms prior to the failure other than the intermittent working and not working.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that the heated seat overheated to the point where the contact received severe burns along the back down to the back of the legs. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.

The failed component is a small wheel speed sensor on the rear axle. The sensor is designed in a way where it inserts into the axle and sits close enough to the gears that it can be hit by the gears during bumps/potholes/etc. The issue puts myself and others at risk as when the sensor malfunctions or breaks, it disables multiple safety features of the truck including: Antilock brakes, traction control, power steering, hill assist, and collision avoidance system. Other systems affected include cruise control. The problem has been reproduced with three separate speed sensors, two OEM sensors and one after market. I have had the vehicle inspected by a Ford dealership for the issue. Issues prior to the first replaced sensor was the sensors have issues with cold climate. When snow or ice is on the roadway, the sensors have issues and disable all the above features. Appears the design cannot withstand the cold weather.

This 2019 Ranger is experiencing jerky and erratic shifting. At low RPM’s (parking lots) it requires excessive RPM’s and resulting speeds to shift between gears. It also clunks when downshifting, feeling like the vehicle was hit by another car.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH and approaching traffic, while depressing the brake pedal the vehicle failed to slow as needed. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the Forward Collision Avoidance Emergency Automatic braking activated and stopped the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact stated that he had experienced the failure a second time. The contact took the vehicle back to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 11,000.

As I was driving down the road I began I started to smell something unusual - in a way it smelled like burning plastic and/or anti-freeze. I then began to feel quite a bit more heat than usual on my lower back, so much I knew something was wrong. I pulled my truck over, got out and as soon as I got out my heated seat started producing smoke where I believe the main heated seat coil is. Within seconds a flame burst out from the seat. I luckily had a drink in my cup holder that I reached over to grab & pour out on the flame. It kept smoking after I dumped the liquid on it. I then grabbed a water bottle from my back seat & was able to put the fire out completely. In conclusion, my 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat Crew Cab heated seat caught fire while it was turned on, on 9/15/2022 at approx. 9:00a.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that the driver’s side rear taillight intermittently failed to illuminate while depressing the brake pedal. The contact also stated that the horn failed to operate as needed. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer where he was informed that his vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V839000 (Exterior Lighting). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred him to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle remained at the dealer unrepaired. The failure mileage was approximately 41,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power and stalled. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer and diagnosed with water absorption in the engine. The dealer replaced the boot cover, spark plugs, and engine cover. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,599.

My rear camera stopped working and I think the front collision alert is affected as well. I understand there was/is a recall for this issue but not my vehicle. I do not understand why.

The 10r80 10 speed Transmission will slip, shutter, stall, jump in and out of gear, slam into gear, and often times will wait till you are at a complete stop to downshift into 1st gear which makes the entire truck lunge forward almost like you’ve been rear ended. I’ve been to 2 different ford dealerships, had my truck in the shop multiple times and all I hear is them telling me that it’s normal and they get these complaints a lot. Long Lewis ford of prattville Alabama will play dumb and hold my truck in their parking lot for a few days then say they found nothing wrong. Collier ford of wetumpka Alabama told me over the phone that the symptoms I’m experiencing are normal and they they will not touch my truck unless it has a wrench light on. A $36,000 truck should not have these issues and it be deemed “normal” or even “acceptable”.

The front passenger door mechanism failed. the actuator that grips onto the metal latch on the truck's frame is locked in the up position, preventing the door from closing. That creates a safety problem because the door will not close or latch.

Vehicle is visibly lower or has a lean on the rear driver side bed. Was brought to ford and measured to be lower on right rear side by .5”inch from the left, fuel tank was at less than a 1/4 tank.

Unknown, My vehicle seems to stall in low gear. I already informed the dealership several times, and they stated that everything was fine. The stalling appears to be getting more frequent as time goes on, and worried that this could cause further damage to the vehicle. This is a safety concern as well.

Drive truck and park in garage and garage smells like gas. Only happens when parking truck in garage right after driving it. This has happened about 3-4 times now. I don't drive it that often. Just had an oil change at Ford and drove home. Then the next day i took it out and parked it in garage and gas smell again. Smell will last 2-3 days if truck stays parked. Have an appt. this coming week at Ford.

The contact owned a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle crashed into a cow. During the incident, the vehicle was destroyed and severe front-end damage had occurred but no airbags deployed. No injuries were reported. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 54,000. Vehicle has been totaled State Farm with Claim number [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).”

This is not the first time, but I will randomly get a collision warning while I am driving my car. The last incident happened on a 2 lane road with no traffic within visible distance in front of me. It was early in the morning with the sun ahead of the vehicle (approx 7am) and the collision warning indicator came on for no reason. This has happened before. Another incident occurred when I was turning right onto an on ramp and there was a car traveling next to me (who would continue straight) and the warning was going off for no reason. These incidents are extremely dangerous as the flashing and chiming from the alert system is very distracting and causes someone to react to this as opposed to focusing on driving the vehicle. For some people this could lead to a crash by itself as there is no training on what your vehicle will do in one of these situations (ie, like a push to test in an aircraft to know what is making the noise).

I was slowly pulling forward, parking my vehicle. I pressed the brakes and they did not engage. I pumped my brakes and my foot was down to the floor with no brake activity and an involuntary acceleration occurred causing me to crash into a brick wall. Fortunately, I was the only person injured in the crash. The police were called and my vehicle was towed to be repaired. It was inspected by my insurance company. I called Ford several times to ask that the vehicle be inspected by a Ford investigator to determine why the brakes failed and the involuntary acceleration occurred. They misdirected me at least 10 times. I informed that there were 12 reports of the identical problem happening to other 2019 Ford Ranger owners. They ignored my requests. Upon recommendation by Ford Customer Service, my car was towed from a body shop to a Ford dealer where they informed by that there was at least one instance that the diagnostics showed a sensor failure. At no time did any warning light appear on my dash signaling me there was an issue of a sensor failure. In spite of this problem, Ford continues to ignore my request for an inspection of the vehicle. I went to a Doctor as I had a very bad headache and pain throughout my body. I had a concussion and soft tissue damage along my right side, both hands and elbows.

On Jan 04,2022 while flat towing my truck behind my motorhome it caught fire and burned to the ground. It was too badly burned for the insurance to make a determination of the cause. However, it started in the engine compartment. I know it was not a bad tire because all tires were inflated until the fire popped them. I was able to get the truck disconnected from the RV and know that it remain in Neutral with nothing seized up like the transmission or brakes because the truck rolled on its own once it was disconnected and had to be chocked. I had followed all the proper procedures and my key was in acc position. I had towed this truck many hundred miles prior. That day I had towed it 5-6 hours prior to the fire. This incident took place in Alachua County Florida. Alachua County Fire Rescur case # ACFR22-0000462 Alachua Police Department case #22APD00014 State Farm Insurance Claim #36-29co-58s

Possible Drivers side seat belt problem on 2019 Ford Ranger. Incident occurred on Monday 12/20/202, ABOUT 9:20 AM. After rounding a corner at low speed I hit a patch of ice and, spinning about 90 degrees, ran head on into a very tall power pole, anchored to its concrete base with many very large bolts. This stopped me. No damage to the post. Air bags did not deploy, but I was thrust forward, hitting the steering wheel hard. I bruised my chest, not visibly, in the sternum area. I think my seat belt must have failed. The force on the belt ripped the plastic paneling covering it from the sidewalls. My truck is now in the body shop being evaluated. I pointed out the seat belt problem and they said they can give me a new one if there is a problem.

2019 FORD RANGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SHIFTING PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD VIOLENTLY JERK WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO JERK WHEN ACCELERATING AND SWITCHING TO HIGHER GEAR. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES LOSS OF POWER AND NO ENGAGED GEARS. THE TRUCK ENGINE WOULD REV UP AND SHIFT HARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that upon activation of the blower motor, an abnormal odor would emit from the vehicle without warning. The contact stated that he and his wife both were asthmatic and that the vehicle had become difficult to drive due to the failure. The contact called several dealers and the manufacturer, and each informed him that his vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V726000 (Visibility). The contact left the vehicle with the dealer and the mechanic was unable to diagnose the failure. Other dealers in the area informed him that they were unable to inspect the vehicle for another month. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 500.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, there was difficulty removing his foot off the accelerator pedal to depress the brake pedal due to the plastic and hump around the pedals. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was because he may crash if the brake pedal could not be depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they informed the contact that there was nothing they could do. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 6,000. THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER REMOVING THE GROUND CABLE, ALL INFO ERASED ON THE COMPUTER.

2019 FORD RANGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY JERKED WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER AND NO ENGAGED GEARS. ON SOME OCCASIONS, WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD QUICKL CHANGE GEARS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH 3 OR 4 TIMES. THE DEALER AND MANU FACTURER WERE NOTIFIED AND DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brakes had malfunctioned and the brake pedal was spongy or in some cases would extend to the floor causing the braking distance to be extended. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure and no service was performed. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 19,500.

When applying brake you have to pump brakes, if going at a low speed you’ll only slow down about 20% if going 50mph or higher you have to pump brakes 2-3 times to get the mushyness to go away and start braking properly

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ranger. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact also stated that the windshield wipers, the defroster, headlights low and high beams failed to work. The contact veered to the side of the road for a short while and then drove the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the rodents had damaged the soy-based insulated wiring harnesses at the front of the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired however, the rear lights would fail to turn off. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the soy-based insulated wiring harnesses at the rear of the vehicle had sustained rodent damage. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 31,000.

I am certain my vehicle does not shift correctly. It often seems to be in the wrong gear for the terrain and according to the dashboard seems to skip gears. Also it seems to not get the power to the road as if the transmission slips. It is intermittent. The start stop feature which I usually turn off, sometimes does not work correctly. I have only had this vehicle for about 5 months. When the start stop feature is off the vehicle still acts as if its on. I have read blogs of many people having similar transmission issues. A local Ford dealer told me it drove fine, nature of the beast and it shifts that way to save fuel. Also on off the gas there is a hard clunk which seem to harsh. I feel like at some point something is going to fail.

The spare tire is held tight against the under body of the pickup bed with a chain crank. The gear mechanism that raises and lowers the tire slowly released the tire to the point that edge of the tire (presumably due to bumps in the road) contacted the pavement. The tire became almost vertical and at a right angle to the direction of the vehicle. An estimated 4 miles was drive before the driver became aware of the problem when an observant motorcyclist motioned the vehicle over. The tire was very hot where it contacted the pavement but had not yet ignited. The tire was roped to the frame to keep it off the pavement to safely drive to a service center. The photo of the tire under the truck shows its approximate position during the incident. The actual position was almost vertical. The photo of the tire chain clamp bracket shows it's position without the tire. The crank mechanism was damaged to the point that the chain could not raise or lower the bracket. A tire fire would have resulted if the vehicle was driven much further. The manufacturer will be contacted.

The brake pedal at times goes almost to the floor. One time it traveled past the gas pedal and my foot engaged it causing it to lunge forward. Had there been a vehicle in the parking spot ahead of me, I would have hit it. I've taken it to the dealer but they claim this is a "normal characteristic for this vehicle". This is both an accident waiting to happen and a problem in need of a solution/recall.

REAR SEAT LATCH IS DEFECTIVE, DOES NOT LOCK IN PLACE AND IF IN A CRASH WILL INJURE OCCUPANTS IN BACKSEAT. BACKSEAT CAME FORWARD WHEN I HIT BRAKES TO AVOID COLLISION. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN BACKSEAT.

I HAVE TWO FORD TRUCKS AND BOTH HAVE INSTRUMENT PANELS THAT ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO READ IN DAYLIGHT EXCEPT FOR THE SPEEDOMETERS. THEY BOTH HAVE THE DASH LIGHTS TURNED UP AS BRIGHT AS THEY WILL GO. NOT BEING ABLE TO READ MY INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES IS A DANGER FOR MULTIPLE REASONS.

I CHANGED MY OIL AT 5,000 MILES, I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 8,400 MILES ON MY TRUCK NOW. I NOTICED EXCESSIVE FUEL BUILT UP IN MY OIL CATCH CAN. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE 2019 FORD RANGER ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I CHECKED MY OIL AND MY OIL WAS SATURATED WITH FUEL. FUEL IS GETTING INTO THE ENGINE OIL.

I HAVE HAD MY 2019 FORD RANGER XLT SUPERCREW IN THE DEALERS SHOP TWICE. BOTH FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION RELATED PROBLEMS. THE FIRST ISSUE HAPPENED JUST SHY OF 20K MILES. THE TRUCK WOULD SHAKE AND JERK WHEN STARTING FROM A LIGHT OR STOP. THE TRANSMISSION WAS PRETTY MUCH OVERHAULED. THE SECOND ISSUE HAPPENED AROUND 8K MILES LATER AS I HIT 28K MILES. THIS TIME THE TRUCK WOULD HESITATE BETWEEN GEARS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE.MODULE FOR A SECOND TIME AFTER FIRST REPLACING IT AT THE TIME THEY OVERHAULED THE TRANSMISSION. IN ADDITION THEY ALSO REPLACED THE CONVERTER. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND DON'T MISTREAT IT.

RODENTS KEEP EATING THE WIRING IN THE ENGINE CAUSING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGE.THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN A TWO MONTH SPAN. I FOUND INFORMATION THAT FORD USES PLANT BASED MATERIALS TO COAT THE WIRING AND TO MAKE SOME OF THE HOSES. I'VE TRIED DIFFERENT MEASURES TO PREVENT THE RODENTS FROM DAMAGING THE WIRING TO NO AVAIL. THIS DAMAGE CAUSES MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO FAIL AND KNOCKED OUT MY HORN AND OTHER VEHICLE FEATURES. IT DOESN'T SEEM FAIR AND GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE BY FORD TO KEEP USING THESE PRODUCTS AND NOT TO INFORM BUYERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. MY WIFE OWNS A HONDA AND HER VEHICLE ISN'T TOUCHED BY THE RODENTS.

CONSISTENT ISSUE WITH FUEL IN OIL. LATEST REPORT FROM THE OIL ANALYSIS HAVE 4.5 PERCENT FUEL IN OIL. DROPPING OIL IGNITION POINT TO 285 DEGREES. ISSUE OCCURS DURING NORMAL VEHICLE USE.

AFTER APPROXIMATELY EACH 500 MILES THE OIL LEVEL RISES TO, AND THEN ABOVE, THE SAFE MAXIMUM FILL MARKER ON THE DIPSTICK. THE OIL SMELLS STRONGLY OF FUEL. DRIVING INCLUDES SHORT COMMUTES IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS (CA 20 MILES) AND LONGER ROAD TRIPS (CA 400 MILES) THE RISING OIL LEVEL APPEARS TO BE THE RESULT OF FUEL LEAKING INTO THE SYSTEM/CRANK CASE. OVER 4,600 MILES (OF 9,000 TOTAL) THE TRUCK HAS HAD MULTIPLE OIL CHANGES DUE TO THIS ISSUE, BUT WITHOUT RESOLUTION; FUEL SMELL AND RISING OIL LEVEL CONTINUE. SERVICES, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES EACH TIME FOLLOW: 23 JUNE 2020 (4,396 MILES) 28 JULY 2020 (4,806 MILES) 8 SEPTEMBER 2020 (5,436 MILES) 26 OCTOBER 2020 (7,238 MILES; HIGH OIL LEVEL AND FUEL VAPOR VALVE FAILURE, W/ ERROR CODE FOR LATTER) 28 DECEMBER 2020 (9,052 MILES) THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE PROBLEM IS PERSISTENT AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE MATTER BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NOT SHOWING AN ELECTRONIC ERROR CODE AND FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN.

SOFTWARE THAT OPERATES STEREO AND ALL OTHER SOUNDS SYSTEM FEATURES FREEZES UP AND FAILS. VEHICLE MUST BE SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY TO REBOOT SYSTEM BEFORE IT WILL WORK AGAIN. THIS IS A REPETITIVE PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH.

APPLYING BRAKE TRUCK WILL STOP, AFTER STOPING YOU FILL THE PADDLE MOVE DOWNWARD IN THE DIRECTION OF THE FLOORBOARD, AND THE TRUCK WILL START ROLLING UNTIL YOU APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO TH PADDLE..ACTING LIKE A BAD MASTER CYLINDER..2. CRASH LIGHT WILL FLASH, BUT NO BRAKING..THIS HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY TIME I DRIVE..

ON WEDNESDAY OCT. 14, 2020 ON A TRIP FROM GAINESVILLE, GA TO PENSACOLA, FL I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT I WOULD CLASSIFY AS POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE (I-85), I USED THE CRUISE CONTROL SEVERAL TIMES AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60 -70 MPH. IN MONTGOMERY, AL, I EXITED OFF THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ACCELERATION INCREASED WHERE I HAD TO PUT MAXIMUM PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES TO PREVENT THE TRUCK FROM CRASHING INTO PASSING TRAFFIC. I THEN MOVED THE SELECT SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND THEN TO PARK, WHICH STOPPED THE ACCELERATION. THE ACCELERATION WAS SO SEVERE THAT THE REAR WHEELS WERE SPINNING. AGAIN WE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM TWICE MORE ON OUR WAY TO PENSACOLA AT VARIOUS STOP LIGHTS. THAT DAY I HAD NOT YET DETERMINED THAT THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH THE OPERATION OF CRUISE CONTROL. THE NEXT MORNING THURSDAY, OCT. 15, I BROUGHT THE TRUCK INTO WORLD FORD IN PENSACOLA, FL. FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOOK THE TRUCK OUT ON THE HIGHWAY BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WHEN HE USED THE DIAGNOSIS MACHINE HE DETECTED A GLITCH IN TEST A4 WHICH INDICATED AN INTERMITTENT INOPERATIVE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH. HE WAS NOT 100% SURE THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HE CHANGED THE SWITCH. HE WAS VERY CONCERNED OF THE POTENTIAL SERIOUSNESS OF THE SITUATION. WE NEVER HAD ANOTHER ISSUE WHILE IN PENSACOLA OR ON THE WAY HOME, BUT I NEVER TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, AS MY CONFIDENCE LEVEL WAS STILL VERY LOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD RANGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A CHIPMUNK ENTERED INTO THE VEHICLE AND ATE SOME ELECTRICAL WIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL DUBE TOYOTA (40 DOVER POINT RD, DOVER, NH 03820; (603) 749-5500), WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE HEATING UNIT TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 7,000.

THE HORN DOES NOT ALWAYS SOUND WHEN YOU PRESS THE HORN SWITCH ON THE STEERING WHEEL. IT IS ESPECIALLY NOT LIKELY TO SOUND IF YOU TRY TO SOUND THE HORN IN AN EMERGENCY

PURCHASED A 2019 FORD RANGER IN JUNE 2020. IN JULY, I NOTICED THAT THE IGNITION TRIM RING BEZEL, A PART TO SECURE THE IGNITION CYLINDER TO THE STEERING COLUMN WAS MISSING AND THE CYLINDER COULD POSSIBLY DETACH. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND HAVE NO RESPONSE.

WHILE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE TRUCK SURGES FORWARD. IT HAS HAPPENED 6+ TIMES WITHIN 16,000 MILES, EVERY TIME IT FEELS LIKE I WAS JUST REAR ENDED BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. FORTUNATELY, NO ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF THIS. THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION BUMPS THE TRUCK FORWARD ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 15 FEET AS I AM SLOWING DOWN. IT HAPPENS FROM 5MPH AND UNDER. THE TRANSMISSION WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALER BUT NO ISSUE WAS FOUND. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT A FORD DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY ARE REPLACING THE GAS PEDAL.

2019 FORD RANGER WITH LESS THAN 600 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE DRIVE SHAFT FELL OUT. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ABOUT 60 MPH I STARTED NOTICING A STRONG VIBRATION. WHEN EXITING THE HIGHWAY THE VIBRATION BECAME A VIOLENT SHAKE AND BANGING NOISE.

AFTER THE AUTO START STOP FEATURE ENGAGES AT A STOP, THE ENGINE BEGINS TO RE-START BUT THEN SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY ALONG WITH ALL ELECTRIC FUNCTIONS IN THE VEHICLE. CANNOT ENGAGE HAZARD LIGHTS OR RE-START THE ENGINE UNTIL THE THE BATTERY IS JUMP-STARTED. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS JUMPED, IT FUNCTIONS NORMALLY AND DOES NOT DISPLAY ANY BATTERY OR CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR. THIS HAPPENED ONCE AT A STOP SIGN IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, AND AGAIN AT A RED LIGHT ON A MULTI-LANE BOULEVARD WITH SPEED LIMIT 45 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD RANGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V839000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN TRYING TO SET THE CRUISE CONTROL SPEED THE VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE ACCELERATING CONSTANTLY. THE TRUCK WILL NOT SET AT THE DESIRED SPEED AND WILL KEEP GOING FASTER AND FASTER. THE ONLY WAY STOP THE INCREASING ACCELERATION PROCESS IS STEPPING ON THE BRAKE, MAYBE TURNING THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF. THIS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I TRIED TO SET THE CRUISE CONTROL SPEED WITH THE BOTTOM ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WHEEL. I REPLICATED THE ISSUE TWICE IN THE PARKWAY JUST TO MAKE SURE THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED, THE CAR WAS NEW.

I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM FORDPASS THAT MY 2019 RANGER WAS IN DEEP SLEEP MODE AND THAT I NEEDED TO MANUALLY START IT. I GOT INTO THE VEHICLE AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AS NORMAL AND PRESSED THE START BUTTON. MANY THINGS HAPPENED SIMULTANEOUSLY. MOSTLY LIGHTS FLASHING ON THE DASH AND EVENTUALLY THE HEADLIGHTS SEEMED TO BE SENDING MORSE CODE. BUT THE ENGINE BARELY RESPONDED AT ALL. LATER I HOOKED UP A BATTERY CHARGER AND WHEN SWITCHED ON THE GAUGE BOUNCED BACK AND FORTH SO FAST IT APPEARED TO BE AN AIRCRAFT PROPELLER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY.

THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDOW IS DEVELOPING SEVERAL SNOWFLAKE LIKE DEFECTS IN BETWEEN THE GLASS. THESE ARE THREE TO FOUR INCHES IN DIAMETER AND IMPEDE THE SIDE VISION OF THE VEHICLE. FORD IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE GLASS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. THE SIZE GROWS AN 1/8 INCH A DAY AND DOES NOT STOP. THE SPOT IN THE PICTURE IS NEARLY DOUBLE IN SIZE NOW. *TR

LEASED THE RANGER IN OCTOBER OF 2019. FROM THEN UNTIL NOW THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 6 INSTANCES WHERE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER HAS BEEN PLACED IN PARK, BUT THE TRUCK HAS FREELY ROLLED AWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHILE PARKED ON A BUSY STREET, IN A CROWDED PARKING GARAGE IN DENVER, AND A COUPLE OF OTHER PLACES. I'VE BEEN LUCKY EACH TIME IT ROLLED AWAY IN AN AREA CROWDED WITH PEDESTRIANS OR TRAFFIC HEAVY BECAUSE I'VE BEEN ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND JUMP BACK IN AND PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, WITHOUT SOMEONE GETTING RUN OVER. IN THE PARKING GARAGE A FRIEND OF MINE WOULD HAVE BEEN PINNED BETWEEN THE TRUCK AND A CONCRETE WALL IF SHE HAD BEEN JUST ONE SECOND SLOWER WALKING AROUND THE TRUCK. WE HAD JUST PARKED AND WERE GOING TO WALK TO THE ELEVATOR AND WERE TOO BUSY TALKING TO NOTICE THE TRUCK WAS ROLLING TOWARD US. RIGHT AFTER SHE WAS OUT OF THE PATH WE HEARD SOMETHING BEHIND US AND TURNED TO SEE IT HAD HIT THE WALL, ABOUT 3 INCHES AWAY FROM THE BACK OF HER LEGS. I'VE TAKEN THE TRUCK INTO 2 DEALERSHIPS TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS WITNESSES THAT HAVE SEEN ME PLACE THE TRUCK IN PARK, ONLY TO HAVE IT MOVE ON ITS OWN, BUT LUTHER FAMILY FORD IN FARGO, ND AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER CARE HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY DO NOT ACCEPT WITNESS ACCOUNTS FOR ANY ISSUE ON THEIR VEHICLES. THEY HAVE SAID THAT IF A WARNING LIGHT DOESN'T ILLUMINATE OR AN ERROR CODE ISN'T RECORDED IN THE DIAGNOSTICS THEN A PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST. BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND MAY END UP KILLING SOMEONE THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. I'M A DISABLED VETERAN AND HAVE SOME MOBILITY ISSUES, THE NEXT TIME I MAY NOT BE FAST ENOUGH TO GET TO THE TRUCK TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, OR I MAY NOT BE FAST ENOUGH TO MOVE IF I'M IN THE PATH OF THE TRUCK , AND THEN I'LL BE THE ONE CRUSHED UNDERNEATH THE RUNAWAY POS.

FORD ISSUED A LETTER NOTING NHTSA RECALL 19V-839 IN JANUARY 2020. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING SINCE THAT LATTER AND WASTED MUCH TIME WITH MY LOCAL FORD DEALER TRYING TO GET INFORMATION ON THE RECALL. THEY SAID "NO PART WAS AVAILABLE". THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE SAFETY ISSUE BY FORD. WE NEED THE TRUCK INSPECTED AND FIXED.

A STRONG ACRID SMELL OF MELTING PLASTIC IS NOTICED WHEN I USE THE HEATING AND AC UNIT.

A RECALL WAS DONE FOR A CONNECTOR EFFECTING MY TAIL LIGHTS BRAKES LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL . I BROUGHT IT IN FOR REPAIR . THEY PASSED IT AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MINE A FEW WEEKS LATER WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ALL MY REAR LIGHTS WENT OUT AND NO ONE COULD SEE ME. I CALLED FORD AND THEY WERE LIKE WE CAN GET YOU IN NEXT TUESDAY . I BROUGHT IT IN THE NEXT MORNING AND SAID THIS IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL BUT INFORMED ME FORD NOW HAS MORE STRINGENT TESTS THAT WOULD PREVENT THIS. BUT THERE IS A BACKLOG AND THE PARTS WINE BE AVAILABLE FOR 3 WEEKS.

THERE IS A LONG WHINING NOISE BEFORE IT SHIFTS DOES THIS EVERY TIME WHEN ACCELERATING RATHER IT BE AT STOP LIGHT OR SLOWING DOWN BEFORE ACCELERATING AGAIN. I HAVE DRIVEN LOANERS EXACT MODEL AND IT DID NOT DO IT BUT IN MINE IT DID. IT IS A ISSUE IF IT IS DOING IN ONE VEHICLE AND NOT THE OTHER.

THOUSANDS OF TINY SPECS IN WINDSHIELD OBSCURE VISIBILITY IN CERTAIN LIGHT - MORNING, LATE AFTERNOON. HAPPENS SUDDENLY AND COULD CAUSE INABILITY TO SEE INCOMING CAR OR PEDESTRIAN, BICYCLES!! VERY FRIGHTENING. RESEARCH ONLINE REVEALS MANY HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH WINDSHIELDS. THIS IS A BRAND NEW TRUCK. I BELIEVE IT IS A DEFECT IN THE WINDSHIELD ON THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS. COULD CAUSE LOSS OF LIFE AS VISIBILITY IS GREATLY REDUCED AND IT HAPPENS SUDDENLY IN THE LIGHT CONDITIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE DURING ROUTINE DRIVING. THESE SPECKS CAN ALSO BE SEEN WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY IN THE CONDITIONS NOTED. IT IS ESPECIALLY FRIGHTENING IF IT HAPPENS IN AN INTERSECTION, WHILE TURNING, ETC.

WE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2019 FORD RANGER FROM EPIC FORD AND AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR OUR FORD APP SAID WE HAD A RECALL. WE ASKED THE SALES PEOPLE ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID WE NEEDED TO COME BACK THE NEXT DAY TO GET IT FIXED AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE A FEW MINUTES. WE THEN WERE TOLD THE PART WOULD BE IN THE NEXT DAY AND THAT THEY WOULD CALL US. THEN WE WERE TOLD THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND THAT IT WOULD BE A WEEK. I CALLED SERVICE TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY UPDATE AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PART WOULD NOT BE IN FOR UP TO A MONTH AND THAT WE COULD NOT TAKE THE TRUCK TO DRIVE IN THE MEAN TIME BECAUSE IT COULD LIGHT ON FIRE. (AND THIS WAS AFTER THEY LET US LEAVE THE LOT WITH THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT HOME WITH OUR TWO WEEK OLD INFANT) THE SERVICE TOLD US THEY WOULD KEEP US UPDATED WEEKLY. WE WENT INTO FORD A FEW DAYS LATER TO TALK TO THE GENERAL MANAGER SO WE COULD GET SOME ANSWERS. I WAS LIED TO AND TALKED TO SOMEONE WHO TOLD ME THEY WERE THE MANAGER BUT AFTER MENTIONING LEGALITIES HE ADMITTED TO NOT BEING THE MANAGER. THE GENERAL MANAGER CAME IN AND HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO BUT THAT HE COULD PAY OUR FIRST BILL AND GIVE US A LONER AND THAT HE WOULD CONTACT ME FOR UPDATES. HE THEN IGNORED MY CALLS AND EMAILS ABOUT OUR FIRST BILL AND WOULD NOT GIVE ME AN UPDATE. AFTER A MONTH I CALLED SERVICE AND ASKED FOR AN UPDATE, SHE SAID THAT THE GENERAL MANAGER GAVE HER SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS TO NOT CONTACT US AT ALL. WE CONTINUED TO WAIT FOR THE PART AND MORE THAN TWO MONTHS WENT BY AND WE FINALLY GOT THE CALL WE COULD COME GET OUR TRUCK. THEY ILLEGALLY SOLD US A NEW CAR WITH AN ACTIVE RECALL AND LIED TO US THE ENTIRE TIME, AVOIDING THE TRUTH AND DID THE LITTLEST POSSIBLE FOR US TO TRY AND MAKE IT RIGHT.

DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAS A FUN-HOUSE DISTORTION IN THE GLASS. THIS MAKES LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW, INCLUDING LOOKING IN THE SIDE-VIEW MIRROR, DIFFICULT AND AFFECTS THE USER'S ATTENTION AND INCITES NAUSEA AND DIZZINESS. THIS IS A 2ND REPLACEMENT, AS THE FIRST WINDOW WAS DEFECTIVE AS WELL. REPLACEMENT IS PENDING, AS FORD IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON THE 2ND DEFECTIVE GLASS.

SOMETIMES TRUCK STAYS IN GEAR AFTER SHIFTING INTO PARK. HAS ROLLED FORWARD AFTER I EXITED THE VEHICLE. LANE KEEP ASSIST HAS MISJUDGED LANE & TURNED THE WHEELS SHARPLY CAUSING UNWANTED LANE CHANGE. PRE COLLISION WARNING OFTEN SOUNDS ALARMS & SHOWS VISUAL WARNINGS WITH NO TRAFFIC NEARBY, THE SYSTEM HAS EMERGENCY BRAKING & I'M AFRAID OF IT APPLYING BRAKES WHEN I'M ON THE INTERSTATE. CRASH DETECTED AUDIBLE & VISUAL WARNINGS OFTEN APPEAR WHEN THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A CRASH. DRIVER'S DOOR MIRROR IS NOT SECURE, VIBRATES/RATTLES WHEN TRUCK IS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FRONT & REAR DIFFERENTIALS MAKE GRINDING NOISES & FRONT END JUMPS, WHEELS LOCK UP WHEN USING 4X4L. DOES NOT ALWAYS SHIFT INTO 4X4H. VEHICLE HAS OVERHEATED & STALLED WHILE IN TRAFFIC. PEDESTRIAN DETECTION SYSTEM IS NON-FUNCTIONAL. A MAN STEPPED OFF THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF MY TRUCK ON MONDAY, JAN 06 2020, I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 15-20 MPH. LUCKILY I SAW HIM IN TIME AND PUT THE BRAKES ON, WHEN I CAME TO A STOP THE MAN WAS A MERE 2" FROM THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK & WE WERE BOTH EXTREMELY SHAKEN. HAD I APPLIED THE BRAKES 1 SECOND LATER THE MAN WOULD BE DEAD. THE PEDESTRIAN DETECTION SYSTEM NEVER ALERTED ME TO THE PEDESTRIAN WITH ANY TYPE OF WARNING, AUDIBLE OR VISUAL. THE SYSTEM NEVER ASSISTED WITH EMERGENCY BRAKING AS A RESULT. THE PARKING & CROSS TRAFFIC SENSORS RARELY WORK CORRECTLY, ALMOST NEVER DETECT CROSS TRAFFIC WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. I CAN PULL UP TO A VEHICLE, WITH MY FRONT LICENSE PLATE TOUCHING THE RECEIVER BAR ON THE HITCH OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BEFORE THE SENSORS DETECT THE VEHICLE. AS A DISABLED VETERAN I'M MORE CAUTIOUS THAN MOST, BUT ALL OF THESE ISSUES, OF WHICH THERE ARE MORE, MAKE THIS TRUCK A SEVERE HAZARD, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO SERVICE ANYMORE, HAS BEEN IN SHOP 5 TIMES, THEY HAVE WITNESSED SOME ISSUES BUT WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THEM. UPLOADED LIST OF DEFECTS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD RANGER. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING AND APPROACHING A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO DOWNSHIFT, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ANGELA KRAUSE FORD (1575 MANSELL RD, ALPHARETTA, GA 30009, (770) 649-5100) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

TAIL LIGHT RECALL: TOOK VEHICLE TO GRAPEVINE FORD IN GRAPEVINE TX AND THEY SAID THEY HAD DONE THE WORK. LOOKING AT THE DATABASE IT STILL SHOWS NO REPAIRED. UNSURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.

THE TRUCK WILL DISPLAY A WARNING ON THE DASH AS WELL AS MAKE AUDIBLE WARNINGS SAYING THAT A CAMERA IN THE GRILLE IS BLOCKED OR MALFUNCTIONING. ANOTHER WARNING THAT ALSO HAPPENS A LOT IS SOMETHING SAYING THAT A CRASH HAS BEEN DETECTED, IT HAS LOUD CHIMES THAT GO OFF AS WELL AS A FLASHING RED DISPLAY ON DASH. THE PRE COLLISION WARNING ALSO FREQUENTLY ALERTS WITH VISUAL AND AUDIBLE WARNINGS. ALL OF THESE WILL HAPPEN AT ANY RANDOM TIME, AND OF ALL THE COUPLE DOZEN TIMES THESE WARNINGS HAVE HAPPENED THERE HASN'T BEEN A SINGLE TIME THAT THERE WAS ANY TRAFFIC NEARBY, NOR WAS THERE ANYTHING BLOCKING ANY CAMERA OR SENSOR. THE VEHICLE IS BARELY MORE THAN A MONTH OLD AND HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES TO FIX BODY ALIGNMENT ISSUES AND PROGRAMMING ISSUES WITH THE ECU, PCM AND TCU. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THE PRE COLLISION SYSTEM ONLY WORKS IF YOU ALSO HAVE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, WHICH MY TRUCK DOES NOT. THEY SAID THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THE SYSTEM TO GET IT TO STOP GIVING FALSE WARNINGS UNLESS THEY ADD THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL MODULE AND OTHER COMPONENTS. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO ADD THE ADDITIONAL PARTS AND ALSO REFUSING TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE WITH ONE THAT DOES. THEY TOLD ME FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, AND ADMITS THAT A FALSE WARNING MAY ACTIVATE THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON ITS OWN, WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BUT THEY STATED THAT FORD WILL NOT PAY CORRECT THE ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THEIR FAULTY, AND DANGEROUS, COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM. THEY NEED TO INSTALL ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IN VEHICLES WITHOUT IF THAT'S ALL IT WOULD TAKE TO FIX THE ISSUE AND MAKE VEHICLES SAFE TO DRIVE.

EXTREME FUEL DILUTION IN THE OIL. LIKELY FROM LEAKING HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE ATTACHED THE RESULTS FROM OIL ANALYSIS AT 1860 MILES. THE TEST ONLY INDICATES THAT FUEL DILUTION IS ABOVE 5%, WHICH ITSELF LEADS TO SEVERE OIL DEGRADATION. WHEN I CHANGED THE OIL, I DRAINED 7.5 QUARTS OUT OF AN ENGINE WITH A 6.2 QUART CAPACITY. THIS WOULD INDICATE A 21% FUEL DILUTION, NOT INCLUDING FUEL THAT HAS EVAPORATED FROM THE CRANKCASE AND RETURNED TO THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER VIA THE PCV SYSTEM. IF I ABIDED BY THE MANUAL'S RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE INTERVAL, I HAVE LITTLE DOUBT THE ENGINE WOULD EVENTUALLY CATCH FIRE, BASED ON THE RESULTS OF SEVERAL TESTS COMPARING FUEL DILUTION TO AN OIL'S FLASHPOINT. AFTER CHANGING THE OIL, IT SMELLED FINE FOR THE FIRST 20 MILES OR SO. AFTER THAT, THE OIL BEGAN TO FEEL OF GASOLINE AGAIN. AFTER GOING THROUGH FORD'S SERVICE MANUALS, I HAVE ASCERTAINED THAT THE PROBLEM MUST LIE IN THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. IT RUNS OFF THE CAMSHAFT, WHERE LEAKING FUEL COULD THEN MAKE IT INTO THE ENGINE AND MIX WITH OIL. THERE WOULD BE NO WARNING OR INDICATION, BESIDES RISING OIL LEVELS ACCOMPANIED BY THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE OIL. IT DOES NOT MAKE ME HAPPY THAT MY DEALER IS NOT TAKING THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE A FUEL LEAK OF ANY KIND ALWAYS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION IN THE HOT ENGINE BAY. I PAID OVER $40K FOR THIS TRUCK, AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 500 MILES TO KEEP IT FROM SELF DESTRUCTING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP IN THE RESOLUTION OF THIS ISSUE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE, AND FORD HAS REPEATEDLY CHOSEN NOT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I FIRST DETECTED THE ISSUE ON OCTOBER 20TH, BUT I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE TRUCK ROLLED OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON AUGUST 30TH OF THIS YEAR.

I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED TWICE OF A RECALL BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION MAY NOT BE IN THE GEAR INDICATED. CONTACTED THE DEALER TWICE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY ARE NOT DOING RECALL WORK FOR 2 TO 3 MONTH'S. SO IN THE MEANTIME MY TRUCK CAN ROLL AND INJURE MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE OR DAMAGE PROPERTY.

BACK SEAT BACK REST DOESN'T LOCK INTO PLACE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD RANGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

HAD 2 REAR TIRES FAIL WITHIN THE FIRST 5000 MILES. THE FIRST AT 3900 MILES DEVELOPED A BLISTER ON THE SIDEWALL AND WENT FLAT. THE SECOND AT ABOUT 300 MILES LATER DEVELOPED A SLOW LEAK THAT COULD NOT BE FIXED

I BOUGHT A 2019 FORD RANGER ON AUGUST 4, 2019 AND THE TRUCK VIBRATES SHAKES WHILE DRIVING AND THE WINDSHIELD WINDOW A LOUD NOISE LIKE AIR ITS COMING IN AND FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO EXPLODE. THE MORE SPEED THE MORE VIBRATION AND NOISES IT MAKES. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK AT ALL.

PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE TO THE FLOOR AND MY FOOT THEN ENGAGED THE GAS PEDAL ALSO. THE RANGER LUNGED FORWARD AND I HIT A STORE SIGN. I HAVE HAD TWO INSTANCES OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE BRAKING, ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE VEHICLE WENT FORWARD. ONLY HAVE 950 MILES ON IT. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS A LOT OF TRAVEL BEFORE ENGAGING. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK AT THIS.

WHEN YOU FULLY DEPRESS THE BREAK PEDAL YOU CAN FULLY ENGAGE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS HAS RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT 2 DAYS AFTER DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE. ON 8/22/19 SHORTLY AFTER NOON I HAD RETURNED FROM SIOUX FALLS TO HOME . AS USUAL I ENTERED THE GARAGE LETTING THE IDLE CARRY ME IN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I CAME TO A STOP BEFORE THE PARKING STOP. I STARTED TO RELEASE THE BRAKE TO MOVE UP TO THE STOP. THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD WENT OVER THE STOP AND INTO THE FREEZER AND REFRIGERATOR PUSHING THEN INTO THE WALL BEFORE I COULD STOP. I WAS THE ONLY WITNESS, ALTHOUGH MY WIFE HEARD THE IMPACT. I WAS UNHURT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. FREEZER AND REFRIGERATOR TOTALED, BACK WALL AND DOOR WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED, WILL NEED FOUNDATION WORK. DAMAGE APPEARS TO BE COSMETIC, BUT LOWER BUMPER NEEDS REPLACEMENT. FARM BUREAU CLAIM #[XXX] ADJUSTER 515 344 6248, SUBSEQUENTLY AT A STOP SIGN AFTER ENDING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION I DERTERMINED THE BREAK ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

THE TRUCK HAS ABOUT 400 MILES TOTAL. I HAVE HAD TWO INSTANCES OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE BREAKING, ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD

INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE TAIL BLINKERS AND BRAKE LIGHTS. INITIALLY AFTER VEHICLE STARTUP EVERYTHING FUNCTIONS PROPERLY. AFTER DRIVING FOR SOME TIME, 30-60 MINUTES, THE BLINKERS START BEHAVING LIKE A BULB IS OUT. THIS HAPPENS FOR BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER BLINKERS, NOT NECESSARILY AT THE EXACT SAME TIME BUT GENERALLY BOTH FAIL PRETTY CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. SOMETIMES THE BLINKERS WILL THEN START WORKING AGAIN WHILE STILL DRIVING, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T START WORKING AGAIN UNTIL AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF FOR SOME TIME. INVESTIGATED WITH THE VEHICLE STOPPED BUT STILL RUNNING AFTER THE ISSUE OCCURRED AND FRONT BLINKERS FUNCTION PROPERLY, BOTH REAR BLINKERS BULBS DON'T WORK AT ALL, TAILIGHT BULBS DIMMLY BLINK. BRAKE LIGHTS DIMLY ILLUMINATE WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED. THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FUNCTIONS PROPERLY. ISSUE HAS RECURRED ALMOST EVERY TIME I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES IN A STRETCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD RANGER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RC LACY FORD LINCOLN SUBARU (25 MAPLE AVE, CATSKILL, NY 12414) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 426.

2019 FORD RANGER XLTREAR SEAT BACK LOCKING PROBLEM. FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB ON THE DIFFICULTY OF LOCKING THE REAR SEAT BACK INTO A LOCKED POSITION.. EXTREME CLOSING FORCE MUST BE USED TO SECURELY LOCK THE SEATBACK. IF NOT PROPERLY LOCKED THE SEAT BACK WOULD PROBABLY PITCH FORWARD IN EXTREME BRAKING OR A ACCIDENT. THIS COULD CAYSE INJURY TO REAR SEAT PASSENGERS OR OTHERS IN THE VEHICLE. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE A FULL SIZE ADULT MALE USING ALL POSSIBLE FORCE TO LATCH THE SEATBACK. FORD FORUMS HAVE ALSO EXPRESSED THIS PROBLEM. AS IT IS A LIFESAVING ISSUE THE NTHSA SHOULD IMMEDIATELY FORCE FORD TO DESIGN A PROPER LATCHING MECHANISM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED AND THEN HAVE IT INSTALLED FOR FREE AS A SAFETY ISSUE. FORD CURRENT SOLUTION IS NOT A PROPER REPAIR. SHAVING THE BUMPER GROMMETS A TINY BIT IS NOT THE SOLUTION..SURELY FORDS OTHER TRUCK VEHICLES DONT HAVE THIS ISSUE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ASAP BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. THANK YOU

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND TRYING TO STOP TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE SYSTEM INDICATED COLLISION DETECTION WAS ENGAGED; HOWEVER, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP AND THERE WAS A WRECK.

TAKATA RECALL- I WAS RECENTLY IN A CAR ACCIDENT WITH MY 2019 FORD RANGER AND WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE THE WOULD NOT APPLY SO I CONTINUED TO PUMP THE BRAKE AND WOULD NOT APPLY AS I APPROACHED THE OTHER VEHICLE THE PRECOLLISON ASSIST TURNED ON AND STILL NOTHING AS I HELD THE BRAKES DOWN CAUSING AN ACCIDENT

2019 FORD RANGER PURCHASED, NOTICED SLIGHT PULSATION WHEN STOPPING HIGHWAY OR CITY. CONTINUED TO GET WORSE TO A POINT WHERE I BECAME AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE TWICE ON HEAVY BRAKING PULSATION WAS SEVER AND I WAS AFRAID WAS NOT GOING TO STOP. SITUATION WAS WORSE MORE TRUCK WAS DRIVEN. NOTIFIED SERVICE ADVISOR OF ISSUE AND THAT I HAD BEEN REALLY CAREFUL BUT THEN I NOTIFIED HIM AGAIN AND ADVISED I WAS FEARFUL OF DRIVING VEHICLE ESPECIALLY ON WET ROAD. TOOK PICTURE OF LEFT REAR ROTOR THRU WHEEL HOLES AND FOUND BLACK SPOTS IN ROTOR. TOOK TRUCK IN ON MARCH 19TH, SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED AND SAID THE MECHANIC WAS GOING TO HAVE ALL FOUR ROTORS TURNED. I TOLD HIM THAT WAS UNACCEPTABLE, THE ROTORS AND BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE SITUATION WAS ESCALATED TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY, TODAY MARCH 26TH THE SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED AND LEFT MESSAGE THEY WERE REPLACING REAR ROTORS. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REACH THEM BACK BECAUSE I FEEL THEY NEED TO ALSO REPLACE BRAKE PADS, FOR A PROPER MATING PROCESS. HE NEVER MENTIONED FRONT ROTORS AGIN AS IN PREVIOUS DICUSSION. I ORIVINALLY ADVISED THEM THEY SHOULD REPLACE ALL ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. THEM TELLONG ME THEY WERE GOING TO TURN ALL ROTORS MAKES ME THINK THAT ALL THE ROTORS ARE WARPED. ALSO REAR SEAT UPPER PORTION WHEN RELEASED TO DOWNWARD POSITION, IS VERY HARD TO RELOCK IN UPPER POSITION, WHICH IF NOT LOCKED TO CAUSE SEATBELTED PASSENGERS ND SEAT ITSELF TO FLY FORWARD IN A FRONTAL CRASH.
