NHTSA complaint: 2005 FORD RANGER — FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
THE FUEL INERTIA SWITCH WOULD MALFUNCTION FOR NO REASON. THE CAR WOULD JUST DIE, LOSING ALL POWER (MANY TIMES HAPPENING AT 65 MPH ON FREEWAY). IT HAPPENED AT LEAST 15 DIFFERENT TIMES. THE "RESET" BUTTON WOULD HAVE TO BE USED TO GET VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN. EVENTUALLY, THE COMPONENT "MELTED," AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP NOT TO LET THE FUEL LEVEL GET LOWER THAN 1/4 TANK, TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE, WHICH FORD IS AWARE OF< BUT DOES NOTHING! *TR
