I never received any recall notification on the federal safety agency campaign id number 06e026000. The wedge alluded to in the federal safety agency recall was installed on the truck and did not solve the problem. The emergency brake would still not lock into place, and now did not work at all.

Dt: a recall wa sissued but this vehicle was not included due to VIN. When applying emergency brake it didn't work and it allowed the vehicle to roll freely. This was for a manuel transmission when parking on a hill. Had to leave the gear and turn the wheels depending on which way parked. And hope of course it wouldn't roll into another vehicle. This recently happened on july 25, 2005.

On 1-20-04, I started my vehicle to warm up. I had the emergency brake engaged. However, the emergency brake system failed and the vehicle rolled down my driveway, into my neighbors driveway, and hit their trailer and garage, causing damage to their property and my vehicle. After investigating, I have found that there had been a recall on my vehicle for the emergency brakes, for the same problem that caused my vehicle emergency brake system to fail. However I had never received notification of the recall. In fact, as of the date I am filing this complaint, I called ford dealership in owensboro, ky and was told by an employee in the service department that there were not any recalls on ford rangers that they were aware.

The rear brake cable goes though a oblong hole in the frame. In my 1993 ford ranger the oblong hole edge is now razor sharpe. This can cause a fatique crack leading to frame failure. I used rtv to try to keep the cable away from the edge of the hole. The frame hole is now too sharp for me to mess with. I do not want to get cut. About 1995 I called ford and ask about a new cable. I was told no deal.
