2009 FORD RANGER Complaints

THE RADIO HAS BEEN TURNING ON AND OFF SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT NEW. THE DASHBOARD DIMS OFF AND ON AND ILLUMINATES THE BATTERY LIGHT OFF AND ON. THE HEADLIGHTS AND BLINKERS AND BREAK LIGHTS COME IN AND OUT AND DON'T ALWAYS WORK. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES REPEATEDLY FOR YEARS AND NONE OF THE SERVICE TECHS CAN TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG. THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS AIR BAG REPLACED. THIS IS SAFETY RECALL NOTICE19S01 / NHTSA RECALL 19V-010. IT IS ON A 2009 FORD RANGER PICKUP. IT HAS BEEN 3 MONTHS SENSE I WENT IN TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, BEEN BACK IN 2 MORE TIMES T SEE WHAT THE HOLD UP IS & I GET THE RUN AROUND. I JUST CALLED FORD MOTORS AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT I GO TO A DEALER 30 MILES AWAY. MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW IS LESS THAN 1 MILE AWAY. THAT IS FOX MOTORS OF CADILLAC, MICHIGAN, THEIR PHONE NUMBER IS 231-775-3448. MY PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE RECEIVED THREE AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL NOTICES 18S01 WITH HONE NUMBER 866-436-7332 & 866-436-7332 BUT WHEN I CALL THEY DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE RECALL NUMBER SO AM NOT ABLE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. MY SECOND PROBLEM IS I LIVE IN ALASKA ON AN ISLAND THE NEAREST FORD DEALER IS 300 MILES BY FERRY IT TAKES ABOUT 14 HOURS ONE WAY TO GET TO A DEALER FOR REPAIRS. EVEN IF I GET APPROVAL IT WOULD COST AT LEAST $1000. FOR FERRY TICKET FOR THE CAR AND DRIVER, HOTEL, FOOD TO GET TO JUNEAU. I WOULD APPRICATE A REPLY ON THE RAECALL ISSUE FROM YOU.

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK ,GOING TO BE WITHOUT MY TRUCK UNTIL YOU BIG COMPANYS MAKING LOTS OF MONEY OFF US CAN CHANGE THERE MISTAKE AND I GET TO BE INCOVIENCED.
