ENGINE, VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BOUGHT A 2019 FORD RANGER ON AUGUST 4, 2019 AND THE TRUCK VIBRATES SHAKES WHILE DRIVING AND THE WINDSHIELD WINDOW A LOUD NOISE LIKE AIR ITS COMING IN AND FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO EXPLODE. THE MORE SPEED THE MORE VIBRATION AND NOISES IT MAKES. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK AT ALL.

SERVICE BRAKES
PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE TO THE FLOOR AND MY FOOT THEN ENGAGED THE GAS PEDAL ALSO. THE RANGER LUNGED FORWARD AND I HIT A STORE SIGN. I HAVE HAD TWO INSTANCES OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE BRAKING, ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE VEHICLE WENT FORWARD. ONLY HAVE 950 MILES ON IT. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS A LOT OF TRAVEL BEFORE ENGAGING. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK AT THIS.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN YOU FULLY DEPRESS THE BREAK PEDAL YOU CAN FULLY ENGAGE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS HAS RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT 2 DAYS AFTER DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE. ON 8/22/19 SHORTLY AFTER NOON I HAD RETURNED FROM SIOUX FALLS TO HOME . AS USUAL I ENTERED THE GARAGE LETTING THE IDLE CARRY ME IN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I CAME TO A STOP BEFORE THE PARKING STOP. I STARTED TO RELEASE THE BRAKE TO MOVE UP TO THE STOP. THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD WENT OVER THE STOP AND INTO THE FREEZER AND REFRIGERATOR PUSHING THEN INTO THE WALL BEFORE I COULD STOP. I WAS THE ONLY WITNESS, ALTHOUGH MY WIFE HEARD THE IMPACT. I WAS UNHURT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. FREEZER AND REFRIGERATOR TOTALED, BACK WALL AND DOOR WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED, WILL NEED FOUNDATION WORK. DAMAGE APPEARS TO BE COSMETIC, BUT LOWER BUMPER NEEDS REPLACEMENT. FARM BUREAU CLAIM #[XXX] ADJUSTER 515 344 6248, SUBSEQUENTLY AT A STOP SIGN AFTER ENDING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION I DERTERMINED THE BREAK ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE TAIL BLINKERS AND BRAKE LIGHTS. INITIALLY AFTER VEHICLE STARTUP EVERYTHING FUNCTIONS PROPERLY. AFTER DRIVING FOR SOME TIME, 30-60 MINUTES, THE BLINKERS START BEHAVING LIKE A BULB IS OUT. THIS HAPPENS FOR BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER BLINKERS, NOT NECESSARILY AT THE EXACT SAME TIME BUT GENERALLY BOTH FAIL PRETTY CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. SOMETIMES THE BLINKERS WILL THEN START WORKING AGAIN WHILE STILL DRIVING, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T START WORKING AGAIN UNTIL AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF FOR SOME TIME. INVESTIGATED WITH THE VEHICLE STOPPED BUT STILL RUNNING AFTER THE ISSUE OCCURRED AND FRONT BLINKERS FUNCTION PROPERLY, BOTH REAR BLINKERS BULBS DON'T WORK AT ALL, TAILIGHT BULBS DIMMLY BLINK. BRAKE LIGHTS DIMLY ILLUMINATE WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED. THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FUNCTIONS PROPERLY. ISSUE HAS RECURRED ALMOST EVERY TIME I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES IN A STRETCH.

SEATS
2019 FORD RANGER XLTREAR SEAT BACK LOCKING PROBLEM. FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB ON THE DIFFICULTY OF LOCKING THE REAR SEAT BACK INTO A LOCKED POSITION.. EXTREME CLOSING FORCE MUST BE USED TO SECURELY LOCK THE SEATBACK. IF NOT PROPERLY LOCKED THE SEAT BACK WOULD PROBABLY PITCH FORWARD IN EXTREME BRAKING OR A ACCIDENT. THIS COULD CAYSE INJURY TO REAR SEAT PASSENGERS OR OTHERS IN THE VEHICLE. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE A FULL SIZE ADULT MALE USING ALL POSSIBLE FORCE TO LATCH THE SEATBACK. FORD FORUMS HAVE ALSO EXPRESSED THIS PROBLEM. AS IT IS A LIFESAVING ISSUE THE NTHSA SHOULD IMMEDIATELY FORCE FORD TO DESIGN A PROPER LATCHING MECHANISM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED AND THEN HAVE IT INSTALLED FOR FREE AS A SAFETY ISSUE. FORD CURRENT SOLUTION IS NOT A PROPER REPAIR. SHAVING THE BUMPER GROMMETS A TINY BIT IS NOT THE SOLUTION..SURELY FORDS OTHER TRUCK VEHICLES DONT HAVE THIS ISSUE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ASAP BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. THANK YOU

SERVICE BRAKES, SEATS
2019 FORD RANGER PURCHASED, NOTICED SLIGHT PULSATION WHEN STOPPING HIGHWAY OR CITY. CONTINUED TO GET WORSE TO A POINT WHERE I BECAME AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE TWICE ON HEAVY BRAKING PULSATION WAS SEVER AND I WAS AFRAID WAS NOT GOING TO STOP. SITUATION WAS WORSE MORE TRUCK WAS DRIVEN. NOTIFIED SERVICE ADVISOR OF ISSUE AND THAT I HAD BEEN REALLY CAREFUL BUT THEN I NOTIFIED HIM AGAIN AND ADVISED I WAS FEARFUL OF DRIVING VEHICLE ESPECIALLY ON WET ROAD. TOOK PICTURE OF LEFT REAR ROTOR THRU WHEEL HOLES AND FOUND BLACK SPOTS IN ROTOR. TOOK TRUCK IN ON MARCH 19TH, SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED AND SAID THE MECHANIC WAS GOING TO HAVE ALL FOUR ROTORS TURNED. I TOLD HIM THAT WAS UNACCEPTABLE, THE ROTORS AND BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE SITUATION WAS ESCALATED TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY, TODAY MARCH 26TH THE SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED AND LEFT MESSAGE THEY WERE REPLACING REAR ROTORS. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REACH THEM BACK BECAUSE I FEEL THEY NEED TO ALSO REPLACE BRAKE PADS, FOR A PROPER MATING PROCESS. HE NEVER MENTIONED FRONT ROTORS AGIN AS IN PREVIOUS DICUSSION. I ORIVINALLY ADVISED THEM THEY SHOULD REPLACE ALL ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. THEM TELLONG ME THEY WERE GOING TO TURN ALL ROTORS MAKES ME THINK THAT ALL THE ROTORS ARE WARPED. ALSO REAR SEAT UPPER PORTION WHEN RELEASED TO DOWNWARD POSITION, IS VERY HARD TO RELOCK IN UPPER POSITION, WHICH IF NOT LOCKED TO CAUSE SEATBELTED PASSENGERS ND SEAT ITSELF TO FLY FORWARD IN A FRONTAL CRASH.
