Consumer Description

MY 19 YEAR OLD SON OWNS A 2005 FORD RANGER WE PURCHASED THROUGH A DEALER LAST YEAR. FOR THE LAST MONTH OR SO HE HAD TO RESET THE FUEL PUMP INERTIA SWITCH TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE ONE TIME HE WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY GOING 65 AND THE TRUCK TURNED OFF ON HIM. IT'S HAPPENED TO HIM ABOUT 5 TIMES AND NOW HE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. DON'T KNOW IF THE INERTIA SWITCH IS BAD OR IF SOMETHING ELSE IS CAUSING THIS. I HATE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER SINCE THEY TEND TO THROW PARTS AT IT AND NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I THINK THIS IS SO DANGEROUS IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BY THE FORD DEALER. *TR
