Ranger

  • 182,500 miles
Purchased used 2008 Ford Ranger that has issues with multifunction switch malfunctioning on several occasions with the windshield wipers not working or high beams engaging although the turn signals are not affected as of yet. This happens when vehicle is stationary as well as moving. The windshield wipers will just quit working while driving same with high beams. I notified and asked Ford today if this was normal.

The contact stated that if the side doors are damaged in the event of a crash, the occupants would not be able to exit the vehicle because the doors do not have an internal latch.
