Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The vehicle was in motion, I was driving along the highway when I heard a loud ticking noise coming from behind the glove box. I do not know if the ticking noise has anything to do with the air bags but the ticking noise is defintely coming from the passenger air bag location. I have not had a repair technician diagnose the trouble because I don't want to pay for repairs if it is an air bag issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10969641, filed 2017-03, 40,000 miles“How can I find out if other vehicle issues are some how related to the air bag recall, before I spend my own money for repairs? The issues I am hvng are in the vacinity of the air bags. Specifically the blend door and air conditioner.”
NHTSA complaint #11045258, filed 2017-11, 30,000 miles“While trying to start my 07 Ford Ranger it lost most of its power all of a sudden. The only power I can get is on auxiliary (turning the key back) but even then all I get are wipers, dome light and radio. Then when I turn the key off the fuse boxes make a ticking noise. After testing all fuses and connections I found that out of 56 total fuses (both under the hood and in the cab) all the fuses were ok but 24 of the connections weren't receiving power. I can understand blowing fuses and maybe even a few connections but to lose that much power at once doesn't seem right. …”
NHTSA complaint #10355405, filed 2010-09, 85,000 miles“On 10-07-2007 my 2007' Ford Ranger pick up burned up in a fire that started on the inside of the passenger side where the air bag was. Also the right kick panel was also burned. Up. The fire dept. Came out put the fire out and told us. There was another Ford truck that they owned which did the same thing, I called the dealership where I bought two brand new Ford trucks both of them are Ford Ranger p/u and told them that I wanted them to loan us a car and check out the Ford Ranger that we still own the service lady said that all they would do is take a quick look at it and bring it in on a sat. …”
NHTSA complaint #10205570, filed 2007-10, 6,000 miles“I have waited years to get the air bags repaired. My wife is scared to ride in the truck. Now the electronics have started messing up. Ford should have to pay me back some of what this vehicle cost because of poor quality workmanship.”
