1999 Ford Ranger XLT review from North America
"Needs more quality control"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 20,000 miles, rotors were very pitted and rusted. At a little over 20,000 miles the lower ball joint was bad. At about 18,000 miles the rear brake spring broke causing a freeze of the tire. There was also a sensor for the fuel that went bad at about 10,000 miles. The sensor caused a loud tap noise, like low octane knock. And last, at 27,000 miles, there was rusting at the bottom/inside of both doors at the seams. Also rust on the inside of the tailgate at the seam.
General comments?
It is a good vehicle, but has had a few problems.
