“Purchased a 2019 Ford Ranger in june 2020. In july, I noticed that the ignition trim ring bezel, a part to secure the ignition cylinder to the steering column was missing and the cylinder could possibly detach. I contacted the dealership twice and have no response.”
NHTSA complaint #11375353, filed 2020-11, 125 miles“I was driving my vehicle and trying to stop to avoid a collision. The system indicated collision detection was engaged; however, the brakes would not stop and there was a wreck.”
NHTSA complaint #11193771, filed 2019-04, 1,250 miles“The passenger side front window is developing several snowflake like defects in between the glass. These are three to four inches in diameter and impede the side vision of the vehicle. Ford is refusing to replace the glass. This is a safety hazard and needs to be investigated. The size grows an 1/8 inch a day and does not stop. The spot in the picture is nearly double in size now.”
NHTSA complaint #11327953, filed 2020-06, 4,200 miles“After the auto start stop feature engages at a stop, the engine begins to re-start but then shuts down completely along with all electric functions in the vehicle. Cannot engage hazard lights or re-start the engine until the the battery is jump-started. Once the vehicle is jumped, it functions normally and does not display any battery or check engine indicator. This happened once at a stop sign in a residential area, and again at a red light on a multi-lane boulevard with speed limit 45 MPH.”
NHTSA complaint #11348791, filed 2020-08, 840 miles“Unknown, My vehicle seems to stall in low gear. I already informed the dealership several times, and they stated that everything was fine. The stalling appears to be getting more frequent as time goes on, and worried that this could cause further damage to the vehicle. This is a safety concern as well.”
