I was driving down the road when I smelled smoke and saw flames coming out from under the hood and the power to the vehicle began to cut out making it difficult to move or steer the truck to safety I then exited the vehicle and flames were coming out of the front passenger side good and headlight. So I called the fire department and they came and sprayed the truck putting the flames out. And cutting the wires to the battery

Ranger 4-cyl

  • 139,026 miles
I was pulling a small trailer going about 15mph out of my driveway and felt the trailer drop off of the vehicle I stopped and got out and noticed that the last 2 feet of the rear frame rails fell out taking the license plate lights and bumper with it. After I realized that the rear frame rusted out, I inspected the whole vehicle and found that the radius arm bracket has holes in it, I had to replace all of the shackles, the driver side cab mount rusted out and now has fallen out of the vehicle, I also have noticed that there is a rather large hole in the frame in between the cab and the bed of the truck, my gas tank straps have rusted off and I now have it ratchet strapped it in because the mount for the strap rusted out of the frame. I believe that since the truck is still in good working order minus the frame and rust issues and since it still has moderate to low miles I believe that the Ford company should make it right with their valued customers and replace the vehicle or at least repair it to where it is street worthy. Ranger are great trucks but the frame was completely manufactured wrong.

The door and key chimes come on whenever the ignition is turned off. Key must be removed befor they will go off. The dome lights won't go off after exiting the vehicle. The dome light wont go off until driving forward, making backing out of a driveway dangerous in the dark, consumer removed fuse because nothing else works. Nlm
