2003 Ford Ranger Other or unknown Problems

“My 2003 Ford Ranger edge frame has rusted around the fuel strap on the driver side. The frame has rusted clear through and broke in half. I have seen several complaints on the internet as this is similar to what was happening to the toyota truck that had it's frame recalled.”

“Entire frame rusted out. Won't pass inspection. Obviously an ongoing problem. Driver side behind cab to bumper very bad. It is actually allthe way into.we got it on a line of credit. We are out of 5000.00 . Rest of truck is really nice”

“I was driving my Ford and the back bumper dropped on the driver's side, sending it and the spare tire to the pavement. After further investigation, it has been determined that the frame is rusted through and only holding on by a small bit on the passenger side. Also, the spare tire support is only holding by approximately 1 1/2 inches. In addition, the cross member forward of the spare tire support that supports the evaporative emissions controls is virtually rotted in half.”

“Two tires, douglas xtra-trac ii, bought from a local big retailer are not under warranty. Both tires bought on april 8, 2016 with less than 5000 miles on them are showing signs of band separation in the outer sidewall. I must contact the manufacturer to get any assistance with the issue. I plan to do this immediately, however, I am concerned that I may have a blowout while driving. Please investigate these tires and save many low income consumers from further auto damage and greater expense. The vehicle is shuddering when operating at speed of 43-65 MPH.”

“Engine quit running,took to mechanic. Spark plug overheated blew wire off. Engine had water in oil. Engine is ruined. Was on highway.had to use wrecker to mechanic.only 160,000 miles on highway. Thought recall on Ford trucks to engines giving away prematurely.”
