“I feel Ford motor needs to extend this recall they currently have in effect 7 years or 100,ooo miles my car was over the mileage to comply with them to fix this problem they know they need to do something about this problem, head gaskets just don't blow out for no reason.”
NHTSA complaint #722056, filed 2000-04“My problem is that my l995 Ford Ranger dies in traffic for no apparent reason and often will not restart at once. After a period of time (few minutes to couple of days) the engine will start. This failure to restart happens more often when trying to start the engine. If the engine is hot or cold does not seem to matter, but happens more often with a warm engine, I.e., buying gas can be a long-time affair because I have to wait up to and hour or more to start and move my vehicle. I daily have to make a three mile trip across a bridge with heavy and fast traffic. …”
