NHTSA Complaint #10032636 — 2002 FORD RANGER

I NEED HELP. I WAS DRIVING FROM MY CHILDS SCHOOL THE OTHER DAY, WHILE ACCELERATING DOWN THE HILL THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR AND IF IT WASNT FOR THE PARKING LOT TO THE RIGHT I WOULD HAVE COME UPON A RED LIGHT MAY HAVE BEEN IN A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT. ON AUGUST 11, 2003 I WAS DRIVING TO A SCOUT MEETING, WHILE COMING UPON A STOP SIGN I PROCEEDED TO TERN ON MY HEAD LIGHTS AND THE SAME THING BEGAN TO OCCUR. ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTS WENT OFF AND SUDDENLY CAME BACK ON. BUT BECAUSE WE BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A USED CAR DEALER I DONT KNOW IF IT IS STILL COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. BUT AFTER READING A LOT OF THE HORROR STORIES ON THIS SITE ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THERE RANGERS ALSO I AM CONSIDERING GETTING RID OF THE TRUCK. *AK
