| EQUIPMENT - ELECTRICAL - AIR CONDITIONER | |||
| 04/01/1995 | |||
| Air conditioner compressor main shaft broke off and fell into engine compartment hitting the fan. 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 | |||

| I am an owner of two ford ranger pick ups and had owned another ranger in the past. all t here vehicles have had the same electrical problem door chimes dinging non stop, dome light failure, radio power failure and windshield wipers turning on and off all by themselves without the key being in the ignition. i made several complaints to ford and was told to stop harassing them. my dealership said and i quote you're just being a woman. well this after noon the problem took a very serious turn. returning home from a vacation my 1995 ford ranger ex cab xlt 2.3 liter engine. began to experience a electrical system failure. it started with power lose to the radio then a power surge to the wipers, and throughout the electrical system and those areas of persistent concerns. then they all stopped. i now have a complete failure of brake lights, speed control, odometer (let's trust that read out),interior lights, radio and several other systems. i attempted to find a fuse or relay to repairs them but all of those were intact and replacement made no change. estimated damager and repair cost is well above a grand. i complained about this issue since 1996 and have been ignored by ford. *la | |||

| Tires were blowouts. jack was too small for the size of tires that came with the vehicle and could not withstand the weight and would not raise the truck high enough to change the tire. *ak( dot number: tire size: p26575r16 ) | |||
