What owners wrote
Engine fire in 2000 ford ranger 4x4 parked in my driveway with the engine turned off occoured dec 31st 2006 approx. 4:00 pm. I have reported this incident to ford customer service and they said they would get me a response letter in 7-10 days. I did not have full coverage as the vehicle was paid for w/ 131k miles but planned on driving the truck 100k more.
While driving there was unwanted acceleration. The consumer states it becomes very violent upon coming to a stop. When the consumer stopped using the auto speed control the surging did not occur until early 2005. There was a banging noise coming from the rear when braking due to the rear speed sensor and the brake pump, it made the vehicle feel as if it were being hit in the back.
