Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 FORD RANGER 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. ON A RECENT TRIP A TRAILER TRUCK CHANGED LANES ON THE PA TURNPIKE WITHIN FEET OF MY FRONT END. IN ORDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT I HIT THE BRAKES VERY HARD. THE INERTIA SWITCH STOPPED THE FUEL PUMP AND SOME HOW I WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS 2 LANES TO THE BERM. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE GUARANTEE WAS 3 YEAR OR 36,00 MILES AND AT THE TIME I HAD ABOUT 37,500 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND WAS OBVIOUSLY OVER THE THREE YEARS. I HAD THE SWITCH REPAIRED AT A COST OF OVER $200.00. AFTER THE OCCURRENCE ABOVE THE SWITCH WENT OFF 5 TIMES DURING NORMAL DRIVING. I HAVE THE BAD SWITCH IN MY POSSESSION IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. THIS WAS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION WHICH I THINK FORD SHOULD PAY FOR. LOOSING ALL POWER ON A SUPER HIGHWAY IS DANGEROUS TO SAY THE LEAST. *TR
