“My Ford Ranger is a very dangerous vehicle. It is built unstable/balanced, it vibrates and also shakes uncontrollably. It has almost taken my life twice! Yes I drive at the speed limit, and tune my car up on a regular bases. The 2003-4 model have the same problems, but ironically the toyota tacoma has no problems at all that are related to these of the Ford Ranger. …”

If I was travelling at highway speed while this happend, it would have stalled the engine. I asked Ford why this happened & they said it happens sometimes. This seems to be a defect in the shaft of the the air conditioning unit. It could not be repaired except for replacing the whole A/C unit. This has cost me $858.21”
