Ford Ranger 1998 Vehicle Speed Control Cruise Control Review #700905

FORD RANGER 1998 car safety problem was reported on Aug 01, 1998.FORD RANGER 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL . first, no accident has happened yet. it is an accident waiting to happen. i have a 1998 ford ranger with the 3.0 engine and 5 speed manual transmission. the problem, taking my foot off the gas has no effect on vehicle speed. if traffic is slowing in front of me, taking my foot off the gas is the normal thing to do in order to start slowing down and not hitting traffic in front of me. this vehicle will keep on going and brake application is required. as a further example. coming to a red light or stop sign, the engine will want to race above 2000 until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. it takes about 4 seconds after the stop before the computer will slow the engine. i have had the vehicle to the dealer twice. both times, they have indicated that a problem exists with this engine/transmission combination. however, their testing equipment shows no problems. they have reported it to ford but can do nothing until ford issues a programming change for the computer. one time last summer, at a stop sign, the engine decided to go from 2000 to 3600 rpm and the only way to stop it was to kill the engine. ford seems unwilling to correct this problem which must be considered a safety concern. as an additional test, i got on the interstate, got up to speed, put the transmission in neutral, and took my foot off the gas. the engine speed remained constant at 2800. even touching the brake and slowing the vehicle down a small amount, had no effect on engine speed during this test. the problem seems to not be present when the engine is cold. once warm however, at least 50% of the time, the above conditions exist..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FTZR15U7WP.

FORD RANGER 1998 car safety problem was reported on Mar 05, 1999.FORD RANGER 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK . problem with rear drum brakes grabbing when trying to apply slight brake pressure, aggravated in damp weather. the first time i took it into cole whitney ford for repair was 2/19 /98 mileage 12282. the dealer said it was caused by a build up of brake dust that when wet would cause lock up. they blame it on the non asbestos content of the shoes. all they did was clean out the drums and sand the shoes. they said there is no known repair other than this.i have now moved to bangor so i have my truck serviced at darlings ford 403 hogan road bangor maine 04401 phone 1-800-540-1339. since the first incident in feb. 98 i've had the truck in to darling's twice with the same problem . they treated the problem in the same way, still no permanent fix. i asked if ford would continue to take care of this problem at no charge after the warranty expired. they told me to call ford customer assistance. they said they would not and i should talk to the dealer as they may do it as a sign of good faith. this is an important safety issue on this vehicle as i travel 60 miles to work in all weather and it's dangerous to have the rear brakes grab when driving on ice . i've had several incidents of nearly losing control when applying very slight pressure on the brakes and the rear brakes locked. i've also had problems in the summer during damp weather on nearly dry roads when the rear brakes locked up causing the anti lock system to come in and greatly increasing the stopping distance. the last ford truck i owned was a 1987 model it had the same problem which was finally cured by installing brake shoes containing asbestos by me. i 'm told by darlings these type of brake shoes are no longer available.i should think that after 11 years ford could come up with a fix for this problem.i think this is an accident just waiting to happen and something needs to be done. the brakes acted up again last weekend and i'm taking it in to darlings again monday 03/15 99 , probably another temporary fix..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FTZR15X8WT.

FORD RANGER 1998 car safety problem was reported on Mar 16, 2000.FORD RANGER 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with TIRES . please add my name to the list of people who have experienced trouble with their ford ranger factory installed tires. my bad experience occurred while driving a straightaway on the local highway (h3) at approx. 55-60 mph. it was around 10:30 am and the temp was 80-85 with sunny skies. i had earlier noticed strange wear patterns, but my dealer informed me this was normal. the right rear tire completely came apart leaving only the sidewalls -- the tread detached completely. at the time i assumed it was merely a bad tire and purchased an identical replacement (at a local firestone dealer) to maintain a complete set. the dealer kept the faulty tire so i cannot provide it for inspection. thankfully, no one was seriously injured although it was quite scary when the vehicle lost complete control. there didn't seem to be any danger of rollover, but my pickup bed was empty at the time so i'm unsure of the potential danger with a full load. i'm pretty sure i have no legal recourse against the manufacturor, but my experience is similar to the recent reports i've been hearing. i hope this info assists you in your investigation. the remaining tires on my truck are exhibiting strange wear patterns and an alignment doesn't seem to be the problem. if you need any further info please don't hesitate to contact me. the thought that these tires are responsible for deaths is very disturbing considering i drive on the highway daily and hawaii is typically hot and sunny. thank you, jim delacy( dot number: tire size: p22570r14 ).0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FTYR10U4WU.

FORD RANGER 1998 car safety problem was reported on Aug 11, 2000.FORD RANGER 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with TIRES . i replaced all my firestone tires with a les schwab brand the day after the failure because the wilderness ats i had weren't covered by the recall. i sent a letter to the firestone corporate and consumer affairs offices about a week after the failure occurred describing what had happened. keith rahonan of firestone called me shortly thereafter, confirming that they had recieved my letter. he told me they had a file on record with my information and told me to hold on to all of the paperwork and the tire that had failed. i offered to send him pictures (they weren't developed at the time i sent the letter) of the failed tire, but he refused them saying that they wouldn't show him anything except that i had a flat tire. the pictures clearly show a separation between the top of the tire and the sidewall, as well as a bubbling up of the material around the entire inside of the tire wall. i had taken all safely precautions, including proper tire inflation, which i measured according to the recommended inflation rate on the tire itself. i feel that i have been given the runaround by firestone, and i feel they aren't taking this complaint seriously. what concerns me most is that they are using other wilderness tires to replace the ones being recalled--tires i feel should be included in the recall because they aren't safe. because firestone hasn't demonstrated to me that they care and are taking this seriously, i've filed this complaint with nhtsa now hoping it will be taken seriously. i will gladly send a copy of the letter i sent to firestone (it gives a more complete description of the tire failure than i've provided here) as well as the pictures i have of the tire that failed. please let me know if there is anything else i can do and if you would like the pictures and the letter. than you for your concern and efforts in protecting the safety of american consumers.

FORD RANGER 1998 car safety problem was reported on .FORD RANGER 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with TIRES:SIDEWALL . tires are cracking at sidewall, indicates tire defect and not vehicle defect - i read recently that firestone is claiming it is a vehicle defect with the ford explorer. these tires prove the problem is with the tires themselves. these wilderness ats have never been on an explorer, yet they are cracking and show the initial stages of tread separation. although ford is replacing these tires, i was told about a long waiting list that prevented immediate replacement. i went to sears auto center the other day and they can have them in under five days. since these tires could fail me at any time, i am having to replace them at my own expense and seek reimbursement from ford later. although ford is offering only $110 per tire, i will still be out $114.78 (the difference) of my earnings to resolve this issue. i can assure you from my experience, firsestone/bridgestone's claims are not to be taken seriously. i have four tires that are proof that these tires are defective regardless of vehicle type. if they ague that the ford explorer has a design defect and is unsafe, they must be willing to argue the same thing about the ranger. these tires were kept at 30 psi and maintained. please look into this claim for me. thanks. *ak (dot number: p235/r75 tiresize: 15-inch).Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FTZR15X9WP.

FORD RANGER 1998 car safety problem was reported on May 15, 2001.FORD RANGER 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . after approximately 10 -15 minutes after a cold start and running in city traffic, the engine speed increases to 2500 - 3000 rpm with the clutch depressed. this occurs when i am slowing to stop at a traffic signal. while my foot is on the brake, the engine rpm remains close to 1000 - 1200 rpm, about what your would expect. as soon as i depress the clutch, the engine rpm rapidly increases to nearly 3000. when the problem occurs, the engine rpm will remain high for about 10 seconds or until i release the clutch or turn off the engine. as soon as the engine has stopped, i restart the engine the engine. it starts normally without incident and continues usually without incident although if the traffic is exceptionally heavy, the problem may reoccur in approximately 30 minutes. this is sort of like rebooting a computer. both team ford and the ford motor company tell me that this is normal for this type of vehicle and not to worry about it. i consider it to be a significant safety hazard because i must stop and restart the engine in heavy traffic. according to the ford motor company, all ford rangers (1998 - 2000) with manual transmission and 3.0liter engine experience this problem. the problem never occurred until i had driven the truck for over 45k miles.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FTYR14U6WT.

FORD RANGER 1998 car safety problem was reported on June 27, 2002.FORD RANGER 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . i was driving my 98 ford ranger at hiway speed when the transmission case and transfer case exploded. it appeared as though the transmission had locked up for no reason at all. when it locked up it sounded just like a tire had blown out. i called the local dealer and explained the problem. i told them that i was out of time on my warranty but, i wasn't over on the allowed milage. they told me that they were quite sure if my truck didn't have obvious abuse that ford would still cover it under warranty. after they disassembled my transmission they told me that it looked like i had put it in park while going down the hiway, which is totally ridiculous. the truck has been well taken care of. ford decided not to help with the repair bill because of what the dealer had told them. i guess the bottom line is, if the transmission had completely locked up at that speed, instead of blowing apart, they could have been several injuries because i was driving in heavy traffic on a six lane hiway. there is no doubt in my mind that this was due to some kind of part failure. i was just driving on my way to work when it went.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FTZR15X5WT.

FORD RANGER 1998 car safety problem was reported on July 21, 2003.FORD RANGER 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . our 1998 ford ranger xlt with the 4.0l v-6 and the 5-speed automatic transmission experienced intermittent problems with shifting. on occasion the vehicle would hesitate when being shifted into park and would on occasion attempt to surge forward when the vehicle was stopped while in drive. the problems recently became worse after only 44k miles and began to impact the driving performance of the vehicle. the shifting of the automatic transmission while in drive would sometimes hesitate and had become unpredictable. the vehicle was taken to an aamco dealer and upon inspection of the transmission found that the center support had stripped and that the broken teeth were being circulated throughout the transmission. when the broken pieces came in contact with the other gears it would cause them to hang and create a pressure loss. the service repair technician stated that this failure was most likely due to the part being improperly cast during manufacturing. the failure of this part and the collateral damage caused by the circulation of the broken teeth in the transmission required a partial rebuild of the transmission. transmission type: 5r55e production date: 02-98. *ak .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 44045 miles.

FORD RANGER 1998 car safety problem was reported on Apr 04, 2006.FORD RANGER 1998, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with OTHER . two weeks ago when leaving a parking lot the spare tire affixed under the truck bed of my 1998 ford ranger pickup with 79,000 miles fell off. when i retrieved the tire and metal piece that holds the tire i observed that the cable had apparently snapped. had i been on an interstate or other major highway someone might have been killed. when i contacted ford they said they had no other reports of this type failure and i was to pay a dealer to replace the device and receive a 1 year warranty. although the vehicle is out of warranty, i do not feel this is my responsibility as it is a safety issue and the mileage and age of the truck indicate to me that this is a significant safety issue and not just wear and tear. i understand that things happen, but a life or lives could have been lost. i am debating as how best to secure my spare and currently just carry it in my truck bed and bring it into my home at night to prevent theft. the cable is still in the truck mechanism and i have the metal piece that holds the tire in place. the dealership where i bought the truck responded with an "oh well", ford motor company took an interest, but as no one was injured and they say no other complaints of this type are in their records too bad for me. they referred me to another dealership in town who wants $100 to fix it. i will not pay them out of spite and will try to determine another safe method of carrying my tire. i do not trust them. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 78900 miles.

Ford Ranger 1998 Structure Review #10156005

FORD RANGER 1998 car safety problem was reported on Nov 10, 2004.FORD RANGER 1998, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STRUCTURE . the cab of my 1998 ford ranger truck leaks when it rains. at first, i thought it was the seal over the passenger door, but the water is running in the cab above the rear window and the seal is tight on the window. as far as i can tell, the water is getting in along the seam of the cab roof just behind the door on both sides of the cab. the water has found its way up into the felt and roof insulation and left water marks but (thankfully) no separation of the roof felt from the cab body yet. i did use ge silicone caulk to fill in the seams on the outside of the cab, and it did reduce the amount of water getting in, but yesterday it rained and i noticed that the water is still getting in on the passenger side of the cab roof. i really don't know how to fix this problem. i have inspected the door seals and they seem pliable and firmly affixed to the body of the truck. the truck has 61,000 miles on it and i am the only driver. if there is a recall for this, i would really appreciate knowing because the water has resulted in two shorts in the truck's interior lighting causing me to pull the fuse for the interior lights. when the cab gets wet inside, the "door ajar" light stays on and the interior lights will not shut off when l turn the truck off. the removal of the fuse, although giving a remedy to the dome light problem, has made it difficult to drive the truck at night with no interior lights on the floor or dome. quite frankly, i am concerned about a fire with all this dampness in the cab. *nm.Mileage was 45000 miles.

Ford Ranger 1998 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Review #10263001

FORD RANGER 1998 car safety problem was reported on Feb 27, 2009.FORD RANGER 1998, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . everytime i press my brake pedal, there is a grinding/pulsating and the vehicle slowly "skids" to a stop, usually only 10-15 feet after i intended on stopping. less than one (1) year ago, the brakes went out on my 1998 ford ranger. the mechanic told me that the abs on the vehicle is where the problem was occurring, yet he didn't know how to fix it. he said the unnecessary pressure being applied by the abs system caused my master cylinder's seals to crack. i paid over $400 for all brake repairs. ten (10) months later, i'm driving on a freeway at 60 m.p.h. and my exit is approaching. when attempting to stop, i was again left with no brakes. i narrowly avoided a major accident. thankfully i had the sense of mind to push my emergency brake (which is awkwardly located on a pick-up truck) and avoid a numerous car pile-up on a busy los angeles freeway. i took the vehicle to a new mechanic as well as a pep boys auto center, and was told that the master cylinder's seals were again cracked, and charged over $400 for the same repairs as before. i've searched numerous online forums, and spoken to numerous mechanics and ford ranger owners and every single one of them is very familiar with the problem and has faced near-death situations due to this manufacturing error. i would really appreciate a recall as it's the only one to assure the problem is fixed and the safety of others on the road (as the brakes will no longer work without any warning). *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 125000 miles.
