FORD RANGER 2005 car safety problem was reported on Nov 26, 2009.FORD RANGER 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with TIRES . continental tires.....i own 2 vehicles that have come equipped with continental tires and found that over time both sets of tires have worn out due too poor quality of the tire. i have gone on line and looked up on the web site under continental tire and clicked on complaints about these tires and it is alarming how many people are finding that the tires from continental are poorly made and the quality of these tires is putting people in harms way , due to blowouts , tread separation, premature ware . i live in tucson az and just about every tire dealer within 20 miles of me wont even recommend a tire built by continental. replacing these tires with something different is the only option to be sure you don't have happen to you ,what most people have had happen to them , after you read the complaints posted on the web site of continental tire, i find it necessary to file a complaint about these tires and the company. i feel that someone needs to read the complaints on the web site, and take a look to see if there is something that can be done , to get answers as to why continental feels that there's no problem with there tires. on my 2005 ford ranger the tires had 30,000 miles on them and in the owners manual , the tires had a 6 year pro-rated warranty on them. the tire dealer here in tucson was told by continental that they didn't cover the tire from normal wear. the dealer explained to continental that the tires in question were pre-maturely wearing out on the inside edges and the middle of the face of the tire. continental more less said too bad and wouldn't do any thing about it. this happened on my wife's ford escape also, and we had replaced her original tires that came on her car , with the same continental brand, and they only lasted 23,000 miles . these tires were rated for 50,000. i not sure what can be done about this, but i feel people need to let some consumer complaint groups know there is a problem that exists here. *tr.Mileage was 30895 miles.

FORD RANGER 2005 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2008.FORD RANGER 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . driving on i75 when engine stopped. i lost all power. was able to coast off the road and onto the shoulder. after five minutes, truck started and drove home without any further problem. continued to have same problem, didn't matter what speed i was driving or if i was stopped at a light, and it would stop repeatedly in one week or go for months without a problem. truck would stop and would eventually restart within a couple minutes or up to 30 minutes after it had stopped. i repeatedly had to coast or push this truck from the roadway without any power steering. in early 2011, the truck stopped three times in one day. the third time, it stopped in front of friendly ford, monroe, mi. they kept it for two weeks but it only stopped running for them one time and it repaired itself before they could find the problem. in may of 2012, it began stopping multiple times in one day. it stopped and would not restart and i had it towed to crest ford in flat rock, mi. they discovered the fuel shutoff inertia switch had failed and replaced it and the pig tail wiring harness. it apparently had overheated for some time and had melted the wiring harness into the switch. i paid $367.94 for these repairs. at this time the truck only had 28,370 miles on it. the truck was used very little and was always kept inside my garage. the dealer told me to contact ford for possible reimbursement. ford told me they did not have a recall for this problem at this time but to keep my receipt in case of a future recall. i feel this is a safety problem. this switch is designed to shut off the fuel pump during a crash so as not to feed a fire. i googled for "ford ranger defective inertia switch," and found thousands of similar complaints where their ranger would suddenly stop and eventually would require the inertia switch to be replaced and in some instances, it was replaced as many as three times during ownership. *jb updated 07/19/12.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 13000 miles.

Ford Ranger 2005 Electrical System Review #10463214

FORD RANGER 2005 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2008.FORD RANGER 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . driving on i75 when engine stopped. i lost all power. was able to coast off the road and onto the shoulder. after five minutes, truck started and drove home without any further problem. continued to have same problem, didn't matter what speed i was driving or if i was stopped at a light, and it would stop repeatedly in one week or go for months without a problem. truck would stop and would eventually restart within a couple minutes or up to 30 minutes after it had stopped. i repeatedly had to coast or push this truck from the roadway without any power steering. in early 2011, the truck stopped three times in one day. the third time, it stopped in front of friendly ford, monroe, mi. they kept it for two weeks but it only stopped running for them one time and it repaired itself before they could find the problem. in may of 2012, it began stopping multiple times in one day. it stopped and would not restart and i had it towed to crest ford in flat rock, mi. they discovered the fuel shutoff inertia switch had failed and replaced it and the pig tail wiring harness. it apparently had overheated for some time and had melted the wiring harness into the switch. i paid $367.94 for these repairs. at this time the truck only had 28,370 miles on it. the truck was used very little and was always kept inside my garage. the dealer told me to contact ford for possible reimbursement. ford told me they did not have a recall for this problem at this time but to keep my receipt in case of a future recall. i feel this is a safety problem. this switch is designed to shut off the fuel pump during a crash so as not to feed a fire. i googled for "ford ranger defective inertia switch," and found thousands of similar complaints where their ranger would suddenly stop and eventually would require the inertia switch to be replaced and in some instances, it was replaced as many as three times during ownership. *jb updated 07/19/12.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 13000 miles.

FORD RANGER 2005 car safety problem was reported on Aug 10, 2012.FORD RANGER 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . while turning a corner the truck just shut off and died. had to push it over two lanes and into a parking lot only to find out the fuel pump inertia switch was popped. reset it and the truck started for a few minutes but when i went to drive off it died again. rechecked the inertia switch and this time it was not popped. pulled the connector off of the switch and jumped the connector and the truck ran fine all the way home. this is not the first time this switch has given me trouble. about six months ago it did the same thing but thought it was the fuel pump and replaced a $400.00 fuel pump only to find out later that the fuel pump inertia switch had popped. this switch seems to pop in some odd and bad locations with no apparent reason. no bumps in the road, no hard braking, or hard acceleration etc. this time when i pulled the switch i found the connector slightly melted and realized that there was a loose connection in the switch itself. had to order a switch kit which relocates it into the fuse panel kick plate of the truck. ford should recall this as it is a good way to cause and accident if the truck was going high speed and all the sudden stalls and you loose all power steering and brakes etc. could get someone killed. thankfully i caught mine because i am a mechanic and know a lot about fords. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 51000 miles.
