Additionally, the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.

The frame on my ranger is so rust the spare tire came out from under the truck . I’ve tried to find a used one but no one has them because this is a problem I’ve come to find out with everyone’s. So if you can help me or tell me why these vehicles haven’t been recalled over this problem please get back in touch with me. Thanks

TAKATA RECALL 16V-384 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD ON 4/16/18 STATING THAT "A REPAIR FOR YOUR 2007 FORD RANGERS AIRBAG INFLATOR IS AVAILABLE", AND TO CALL MY DEALER TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAVE NOW CALLED 4 DEALERSHIPS AND NONE OF THEM HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE AIRBAG. I RECEIVED THE SAME LETTER FROM FORD FOR MY 2009 MERCURY MILAN OVER 2 YEARS AGO AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR PARTS FOR THAT VEHICLE. WTF!!! WHY SEND A LETTER IF THERE ISN'T ANY PARTS AT DEALERSHIPS??? I DO THINK THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO BE STEPPED ON BY THE US GOVERNMENT TO GET THEM OFF THEIR COLLECTIVE GLUTEUS MAXIMUSES AND GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED OR ELSE FACE HEAVY PENALTIES. USUALLY, WHEN UNCLE SAM CALLS, THINGS GET DONE. MY 2009 MERCURY MILAN HAS 15000 MILES ON IT, HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE GARAGE SINCE SEPT. 2017 BECAUSE I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY FORD EMPLOYEES THAT I SHOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT THE AIRBAG EXPLODING, BUT, THAT DOES LITTLE TO ASSUAGE MY FEAR. NOW MY OTHER VEHICLE(THE ONLY ONE I HAVE LEFT) HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND FORD IS ALREADY STARTING WITH THEIR FAKE RECALL LETTERS & LACK OF PARTS PROBLEM. THIS IS BULL-SH-T!!! SO MUCH FOR "BUYING AMERICAN".......MAYBE ITS TIME TO GO SHOPPING FOR THAT HONDA/MITSUBISHI/TOYOTA/HYUNDAI.

MY 2007 FORD RANGER PICK UP TRUCK HAS EXTREME PREMATURE RUST TO THE ENTIRE FRAME RESULTING IN IT BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE RUST RESULTED IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH ONLY 83,557 MILES ON IT. THROUGH ONLINE INVESTIGATION AND BY TALKING TO OTHER FORD RANGER OWNERS I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON AND REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THE RANGERS. I KNOW THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FORMING IN TX OVER THIS EXACT ISSUE. I FEEL THIS WAS DECEPTIVE AND UNFAIR OF BOTH TOWNSEND FORD, THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE USED TRUCK, AND THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY BECAUSE WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PREMATURE RUSTING FRAME ISSUE. THE RUST IS SO EXTREME THAT THE SPARE TIRE CARRIAGE UNDERNEATH COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND THE TIRE DROPPED TO THE GROUND. ANOTHER PART OF THE ENGINE (THE E-VAP?) HAD TO BE STRAPPED UP FOR FEAR IT WILL DROP TO THE GROUND AS WELL. 2 AUTO MECHANICS AND 2 DEALERS TOLD ME IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND WON'T PASS INSPECTION. (INCLUDING A FORD DEALER) MUCH OF THE SUPPORTING TRUCK FRAME IS COMPLETELY GONE OR FULL OF RUST HOLES AND CRACKS. ONE MECHANIC SUSPECTS THAT THE FRAME WAS NOT TREATED PROPERLY AT THE FACTORY, BECAUSE THE EXTREMELY RUSTED AND DECAYED FRAME IS ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, WHILE THE OTHER SIDE HAS ONLY NORMAL SURFACE RUST.THE CURRENT KELLY BLUE BOOK VALUE IS $8,000., BUT I CAN'T SELL IT- IT WON'T PASS INSPECTION, AND I CAN'T DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE.THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN CONTINUALLY SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN BOTH CITY AND COUNTRY AND WAS NEVER ABANDONED.
