Consumer Description

2004 FORD RANGER - FUEL CUTOFF INERTIA SENSOR ENGAGES SPORADICALLY AND REQUIRES RESET TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND REQUIRED THE DRIVER TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER. POWER STEERING IS LOST WHEN THIS OCCURS. DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS AND SURROUNDING TRAFFIC THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, UNDER A VARIETY OF CONDITIONS. HAVING A FUEL SYSTEM CUTOFF THAT CAN ENGAGE AT-SPEED DURING NORMAL DRIVING IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN FLAW. *TR
