What 1999 Ford Ranger owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While driving on the highway, I was having difficulty steering. The car was pulling to the left and I had to pull over because it was too difficult to manage. Upon inspection, the right front tire was toed-in and the upper tire stabilizer arm broke away from the frame at the bracket. The bracket attaching the arm to the frame had snapped. The frame itself just below that bracket was cracked with severe rot on both sides. The rest of the truck is in perfect condition except for the frame. I was told that this cannot be fixed.
As I was crossing some railroad tracks I got a flat tire and when I got home and was looking at the tire I discovered the rim had actually rusted through. Is there any way that I can have ford replace the rims on my truck?
1. Seems like ABS system comes on when braking and car almost completely stopped. 2. Thud comes up through brake pedal and brakes release car to roll an additional several feet before coming to complete stop. 3. Dealer replaced left front wheel hub and sensor.
While driving 55 MPH the driver heard a bumping noise coming from the front passenger side. The consumer proceeded to pull off the highway when the passenger front tire fell off the vehicle. The driver was able to pull off to the emergency lane. The vehicle was towed to a firestone dealer.
Wheels and rims are designed to hold water in well near valve stem therefore promoting these items to rust
Consumer stated while traveling 40 MPH and without any indication right front wheel fell off with lug:nuts in place.
The left rear wheel seal moved out of the axle housing, and caused fluid to get on brakes. This has affected the braking ability, at panic stop vehicle pulls hard to the right. The seal was replaced for the first time at 4700 miles, and has been replaced 4 more times since. *ak the dealer denied that the axle housing was defective. Scc
While backing vehicle out front wheels locked up as result of caliper cutting tire. Please provide further information.
While observing a flat tire consumer noticed a 6-8 inch split in aluminum wheel. Dealer was notified. Feel free to provide any further information.
