Ranger

  • miles
1998 Ford Ranger has security issue which allows any individual to use a to unlock the door and no one would even know it until you find your stuff missing. All it takes is a screw drive under the door handle to unlock the door and gain entry. This is common to most all Ranger and it is hard to report any loss without proof that there was illegal entry because there is no damage to the door or the door handle. This must not be taken lightly and Ford needs to come up with something to prevent this.
