Belt separation on 2 tires in one month time span. Fusion touring 195 70r14 91T. These tires have 8/32 tread remaining. Failures were front right, then left read one month later. Caused difficulty steering as the car was all over the road plus bumpy ride. The tires are visibly bulging baloon. I felt tire temp with my hand. Uniformly warm except at the bulge where it was so hot as to burn my hand. Would ntsb like me to save a tire for evaluation? This second tire failure occurred at 70 mph on I-94 in michigan when a sudden vibration occurred and I observed the left rear fender bouncing up and down. I stopped to investigate and found the bulge and hot spot.

I had five (5) bf goodrich radial all terrain ta tires fail while driving the same vehicle over about a ten year period. Each failure IS the same. The steel belt of the tire partially separates while rolling. The first occurred about ten years ago on the interstate while pulling a small flatbed trailer. Steel belt then whips around inside wheel well damaging whatever it comes in contact with. Bf goodrich radial all terrain ta tires were on this truck when purchased used. Second tire failed approximately three years ago the same way at less than 30 mph. Replaced all with used set of four tires with 50 % tread left. Less than a month after, third tire failed on interstate once again in the same way. Steel belt cut the fiberglass rear outer fender in half, ripped out the rear wiring harness, destroyed the left tail light, and even damaged the gasoline fill tube and destroyed its locking gas cap from the force of the belt whipping round and round the wheel, partially attached and partially off. Nearly lost control of vehicle, but was not involved in accident. All tires failed while in driver's rear wheel position. Then last month again, the left rear bf goodrich radial all terrain ta tire steel belt came partially off at about 30 mph. Each time a used tire replaced the failed tire. Then two days later, a fifth bf goodrich radial all terrain ta began to fail with steel belt coming apart. This time right rear wheel location. Noticed the failure before steel belt came completely off and any damage was done. replaced with bf goodrich mud terrain ta that were also used but have not failed.

The dome light started turning itself on while parked in front of my house. Sometimes it would turn itself back off. It would also turn on while I was driving at night. I couldn't get the light cover off so I pulled the fuse which leaves me with no windshield washer squirter. The check engine light IS always on. No mater what IS done or fixed, the light stays on which IS a problem because cars will usually automatically fail inspection when the check engine light IS on. How am I supposed to get it to pass inspection if its on 90% of the time? I never had a problem with my 93 ranger but other people with rangers have had the same issues & this site shows others with the same issues. Why won't ford recall & fix it when its a known problem? These things are safety issues!! I can't add when these things happen because they are ongoing issues for the last tenish years!

- Engine · Service brakes · Vehicle speed control
Idle speed rises to 3,000 rpm in between shifts and while coasting with clutch pedal depressed. Does not drop to normal idle speed until vehicle comes to a complete stop. This causes braking to be less effective.
- Vehicle speed control

Rear leaf spring hangers/shackles rusted off as well as the front ones on the rear leaf springs. Spare tire carrier fell down dragging the spare tire across the road. One crossmember holding up the front of the gas tank IS ready to go. Both gas tank straps rotted off. Toyota was made to fix these issues. Why not ford? I work at a toyota dealership replacing rotten frames on tundras, sequoias, and tacoma vehicles. There IS no difference as both the frames for toyota and ford are built at the same factory if I am correct? The vehicle was being driven down the road all times the above listed failed. Some times on the highway, others in town. I do not feel safe selling this vehicle to another individual when it's ready to go.

Guy next door knocked on my door late one night to tell me that my dome light was on. I looked & it wasn't. He said that was odd because he even walked by it & could see inside. A few days later it happened again. Then while driving at night the light came on by itself. From that point on it would randomly turn itself on. Naturally ford told me that was impossible. The only way I could stop it without paying a ton of money to a garage was to pull the fuse & I've had to use a flashlight if I need a light at night ever since. My truck also has a theft light because a factory alarm was an option for my truck. I do not have an alarm but the word alarm IS still on the panel. That light will randomly turn on & say theft. I do not have an alarm! I told ford & that told me that was impossible since I don't have an alarm. I said that maybe a wire was crossed somewhere but ford told me," no! ". Talking to other ranger owners here & there I've found out that not only are there others doing the exact same things but it IS also other years besides 1997. I like the truck just tired of ford & tired of the bs!!

Looked under my ford ranger and saw that both of the metal straps that hold the fuel tank to the vehicle had rusted through and broken in half. I saw that there was a recall for the same issues on my year, but only for the ford F150, not the ford ranger, even though the issue IS the same.

I bought this truck in ohio in october 2014, after purchasing I noticed quite a bit of rust eroding the frame behind 20" low profile tires, I put factory suggested tires on it the leaf spring hangers broke in early dec. 2014 after that was fixed, the erosion was noticeable. Now the shock has fallen off and the frame has a crack through it at the leaf spring hanger. The truck IS not drivable at this point. I need another frame or will have to junk the truck. *tr

Reporting numerous serious safety problems with vehicle since purchased used ---original occurrence date not certain but over a number of years mechanical failures occurred that could have resulted in serious injury or fatalities. the failures include but not exclusive to entire brake system failure due to brake lines corroded and leaked all hydraulic fluid --rear body support system gave out during driving and rear wheels and axles not attached to body ---vehicle lost control and went off into shoulder--radial axial arm rusted away and steering system failed while driving. gas leaks from top of tank if filled to full --leaks on to ground and could result in gas fire and explosion --do not fill tank more than 3/4 ! All brake lines should be replaced and frequent checks of steering and suspension. I am reporting this to make owners aware and take precaution to prevent injury or death.. *tr

I have severe rusting of the frame and parts connected to frame of my 1997 ford ranger, and I am worried about its safety on the road/highway. And I only have 64,000 miles on it! I have heard of spare tires coming loose and falling off, rear bumpers falling off, gas tanks falling off, rear shackles coming loose etc...on the ford ranger because of the severe rust. If I was towing a trailer and the rear bumper fell off there goes the trailer too, a trailer and/or bumper that could cause an accident and kill somebody! Same with the other parts coming loose. And if the rear axle broke loose from the frame it would cause a loss of control and an accident and fatality. And if I was carrying a heavy load the frame could buckle or break in half and cause an accident and fatality, because the frame IS half gone because of the rust. Its just like the frame rust problems on the toyota tacoma and tundra trucks. I also heard that the supplier of the frames for the toyota tacoma and tundra, was also the supplier for the ford ranger frames. I think this IS a manufacturing defect by ford, and that the government should force ford to recall my 97 ford ranger, and all other ford rangers affected by the rusty frames asap. Force ford to buyback the trucks at kbb value, or replace the rusty frames with new ones free of charge. The frame IS the backbone of a truck, its a critical part and if it fails because of severe rusting, you have a serious safety problem here. Its a disaster just waiting to happen, and I hope the government will take action and be proactive, and not wait for people to be killed on the nations highways. Only 64,000 miles on my 97 ranger and big chunks of steel are flaking off the frame and have for years! Half the frame IS gone already! The frame should far outlast the body of the truck, and its just the opposite! A disaster waiting to happen. Action IS needed now. *tr

Plastic fuel line split at the input of the fuel filter that IS located behind the engine attached to the vehicle frame. when the ignition IS turned on gasoline sprays from this crack piece of plastic line. This IS due to the fact that the fuel pump IS electric and energizes anytime the ignition IS on the pump IS located in the gas tank at the rear of the truck . This IS potentially very dangerous as the spraying gasoline could easily hit the catalytic converter or exhaust system when the vehicle IS in motion. Fortunately I noticed the leak under the vehicle when I was warming up the car on as cool morning. As a result no real damage was done. will cost about $350 to repair. *Tr

Under hard braking to avoid an accident the seat belt disengaged from the buckle. I have been dealing with the seat belt buckle not "buckling" with the seat belt for years. looking online I see numerous people complaining of the same problem. Complaints of a spring IS missing or broken, coins are stuck down inside the mechanism, etc. this IS a defective design! I can only wonder how many injuries or deaths have occurred from seat belt buckle failure. Every day I get in my truck I have to wiggle the belt back and forth to get it to engage. Sometimes I just check after it has already engaged and it comes loose. the dealer solution IS to pay them for a "replacement" item, the cost of which IS around $250-300... I'll be purchasing a replacement. the only problem IS that the replacement IS of the same design. I'm asking for help to remedy a life threatening situation. *tr
