130 of the
531 complaints about the 1994 Ford Ranger are about the
braking system — 24% of everything
reported for this model year.
Half of the failures with a mileage on record happened before
126,000 miles.
NOTICED A CLUNKING NOISE IF THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE DURING TURNING, STOPPING AND GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS. FIGURED IT WOULD BE SOMETHING SIMPLE AND TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. HE SAID IT WAS A RUSTED FRAME MOUNT AND TO TAKE IT TO A BODY SHOP. SO I DID AND THE SECOND OPINION WAS THAT THE FRAME WAS RUSTED COMPLETELY IN TWO JUST IF FRONT OF THE RIGHT SHOCK MOUNT. I CLIMBED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND IT TRULY IS RUSTED COMPLETELY INTO TWO PIECES. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS KEEP THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL WHERE IT BELONGS. UNSAFE TO DRIVE. PARKED FOR NOW. WHERE DO I TURN NOW? NO PUN INTENDED.

I WAS COMING FROM PORT AUTHOR TEXAS, AND WHEN I WAS ABOUT 1 OR 2 MILES FROM MY HOUSE THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL LOCKED UP. THE CALIPER THAT WORKS THE BRAKE CAME OUT AND LOCKED THE WHEEL UP. I WAS TRAVELING AT 55MPH WHEN IT LOCKED UP, AND I DID NOT APPLY MY BRAKE FOR IT TO HAPPEN. I REALIZE MY TRUCK IS A 1994 MODEL, HOWEVER, THE ISSUE I'AM TRYING TO STRESS IS THIS; I ONLY HAVE 15,000 MILES, AND DRIVE IT VERY LITTLE. MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THE WEAR AND TEAR FOR THIS TO HAVE HAPPENED! I FEEL IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT, AND I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. I AM REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED, AND A REMIBURSMENT FOR THE REPAIR COST I HAVE ALREADY MADE. POINT TO MENTION: IF IT WAS NOT A DEFECT, THEN WHY DID THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY CHANGE THE FRONT LEFT CALIPERS.
