While vehicle was at dealer ship for service engine compartment caught on fire. Please provide more information.
Ford sent out recall notices for faulty texas instruments speed control deactivation switch. My 2001 ford ranger was included in the recall. I took my 2001 ford ranger to a certified ford dealership. I picked up my 2001 ford ranger from the dealership, and now the truck stalls out in hot weather. If I use A/C, it stalls out. One day it stalled on a city street, and I was forced to drive into a iron fence. Please help. [xxx]. [xxx]
