Consumer Description

MY FORD RANGER HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WHEN I TURN ON MY TURNING SIGNAL SMOKE RISES FROM MY STEERING COLUMN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND SOMEDAYS IT WILL NOT (THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE). THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND I TURNED ON MY TURNING SIGNAL AND WHEN I DID MY ABS KICKED IN THE ABS LIGHT ON MY DASH TURNED ON. I WAS ABLE TO GET MY TRUCK TO CHUG UP TO THE GAS STATION OFF THE NEXT EXIT. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. MY HUSBAND HAS A 1999 FORD RANGER AND HE HAS EXPERIENCED SMOKE FROM HIS TURN SIGNAL ALSO, AS WELL AS HIS WINDSHEILD WIPERS TURNING ON SPONTANIOUSLY (OFTEN WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS USED).
