Ford ranger 1995, rear end almost dislodged from its leaf spring mounts. *bf
My ford ranger is a very dangerous vehicle. It is built unstable/balanced, it vibrates and also shakes uncontrollably. It has almost taken my life twice! Yes I drive at the speed limit, and tune my car up on a regular bases. The 2003-4 model have the same problems, but ironically the toyota tacoma has no problems at all that are related to these of the ford ranger. I have already contacted ford but no reply, I am also going to contact my congress person to present these issues and more with governed bodies to see if the federal transportation commission can be improved, another aspect to this hazardous cause of the ford might be that the u.s doesn't use european standards in automotive. You don't really see bmw, or other cars of a european decent with those problems.
Ball joints don't have lube fittings causing them to wear or seize, this is causing steering to get loose, the cost to repair this is over $500.
Front wheel bearing leaked grease causing the inner and outer races to wear through the spindle. Spindle snapped off causing loss of steering and braking control.
Interior lights stay on intermittently due to grounded door ajar swithces.
Faulty shock absorbers, causing front end noise. Also, experiences electrical problems.
When turning, there is some noise in the suspension . Please describe .
Misalignment causes vehicle to drift left or right. Tt
I-beam fell apart, causing loss of control.
Rear suspension failed, causing poor stability.
