I FEEL THAT MY FORD RANGER IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. EVERYTHING STEMMING FROM HOLES IN THE FLOOR TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE AMONG FAULTY POWER WINDOWS AND ELECTRICAL ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION.. I JUST WONDER WHAT IS NEXT. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THIS VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WITH ITS PAST TRACK RECORD. PLEASE SEND ME ANY INFORMATION THAT MAY BE OF HELP TO GET FORD TO BUY MY VEHICLE BACK. MY EMAIL IS [email protected] OR [email protected].
