What owners wrote
I was pulling into sherry's mini mart in doe run, mo when I realized that my truck was not slowing down as expected, even though I had my foot on the brake. I had little time to react as I was bearing down on the building. I put my other foot on the brake but the truck continued to move forward, even spinning the tires trying to overcome the brakes. I jumped the curb and hit the building at a very low speed. At this time I managed to pop it out of gear. I did not go through the wall, but pushed it in about a foot.
I was in stop and go traffic in my 2006 ford ranger with approximately 3500 miles on it when engine sputtered and stopped as I tried to accelerate. The gas tank was near full and the truck would not restart after I coasted across a lane of moving traffic onto the median. Having experienced a similar problem in my 1986 ranger, I called the dealer service center to ask where the fuel safety shut off switch was located.
