ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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. I'VE ALSO FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW REPORTS FOR FORDS 2007 ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BUT AFTER CALLING FORDS CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. THEY CLAIM THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM (AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WANTED TO RAPE ME FOR $1000 WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT IT) I FIGURED SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

TIRES:VALVE
I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 FORD RANGE WITH ONLY 12,920 MILES ON IT WHEN MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE SUDDENLY LOST AIR. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE SIDEWAYS ON THE SNOWY ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL BECAUSE NO OTHER CARS WERE AROUND. WHEN THE TIRE WAS INSPECTED THE CAUSE OF THE SUDDEN DEFLATION WAS DETERMINED TO BE A SEVERED TIRE VALVE STEM. THE REST OF THE TIRE VALVES WERE INSPECTED AND 2 MORE VALVES WERE FOUND CRACKED SEVERELY. THESE WERE ORIGINAL VALVES AND TIRES INSTALLED BY FORD AT THE FACTORY. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
TIRE VALVE STEM FAILURE ON 2007 FORD RANGER. 1ST FAILURE DEC 08, SECOND FAILURE MAY 09. I JUST RECEIVE A REMINDER LETTER FROM FORD RECOMMENDING CHECKING THE TIRE PRESSURE ROUTINELY AND NOTING THAT THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IDENTIFIED WITH THESE VALVE STEMS. I CHECKED THE REMAINING TWO AND THEY ARE BOTH ABOUT TO FALL OFF. WHY ISN'T THIS A MANDATORY RECALL???? THEY INDICATE THAT IF MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY CAN BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. WELL I DRIVE ALOT AND HAVE 50K ON MY TRUCK. FORD HAS POOR WARRANTIES AND IT IS NOT MY FAULT THEY DID NOT PROPERLY TEST THESE VALVE STEMS PRIOR TO DEPLOYING THEM. I ONLY HAD MY TRUCK FOR 1 1/2 YEARS BEFORE THE FIRST FAILURE. THIS KIND OF STUFF NEEDS TO BE FIXED. NO WONDER THE BIG THREE ARE IN SUCH A WORLD OF HURT. IF THEY WOULD JUST PUT OUT GOOD VEHICLES AND STAND BEHIND THEM. *TR
