Vehicle very unstable(bounces around all over the road when driving on rough road). Vehicle also lunges at slow idle speeds in 1st & 2nd gear.
Gas pedal and the brake pedal are too close together and may result in pedal misapplication which could result in a crash.
When braking fast vehicle accelerates. Consumer indicates that accelerator is too close to the brakes. This may cause an crash if needed to stop suddenly.

Recall notice was received concerning speed control failure. Repairwork was done. However, while driving the problem reoccurred. Dealer contacted, and cannot duplicate the problem. Problem still exists. Provide further information.
Received recall notice 99v062001 in mail in march, 1999. Contacted dealer & set an appointtment. Later was informed that no parts were available for may. Checked back later & was informed that no parts would be available until july, 1999, if then.
Consumer is denied recall repair (98v‑201) due to lack of parts on the fuel injection system.
Consumers cruise control is inoperative. Nlm
Dashboard fell out. Mjs
Master cylinder, calipers and wiper switch failed but consumer unable to have repairs made due to lack of parts.
The idle speed on the vehicle stays at a high (RPM) level when you take it out of gear(manual trans.). The idle speed does come back down when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. The dealership said that this has been found out to be a common problem with '98 manual four cylinder rangers. What can be done this? What if the problem isn't solved by the time my warranty is up? What action can I take? Am I to be stuck with this problem?
