1996 Ford Ranger review from North America
"I will NEVER EVER buy another ford"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes sticking, brake lights randomly lighting, AC knob broke off, headlight knob broke behind the dash, constantly overheating, fuel gauge sender broken twice in 6 months (fuel gauge not working), starter went bad, clutch replaced, stick shift knob fell off.
All of this WELL BEFORE the 50K miles mark.
General comments?
Gas mileage is terrible for a 4 cylinder. My 1971 VW bus gets better mileage.
