| The passenger rear door (suicide door) latches at the top and bottom. the bottom latch will not latch. as a result, whenever you close the regular passenger door it does not allow for a secure latch. the inside light and the ip light (door ajar) remains on unless you go outside and push on the door. if you hit a bump in the road, the light condition will reappear. this door has probably not been used more than 25 times since i purchased the truck new. the vehicle is a 2002 ford ranger supercab. *nm | |||

| The tailgate latch on the 2002 ford ranger pickup broke. the plastic material appeared to be heavily oxidized and brittle , based on my mechanical engineering experience. the dealer that repaired the latch said they sold 3 or 4 of these each month at a cost of $179.81 each, including labor. ford motor company did not accept that they made a mistake in the choice of materials.*ak | |||
