Problems with 2001 Ford Ranger EQUIPMENT

2001 ford ranger wet road hydroplanned striking concrete barrier driver side twice airbag did not deploy. *tr

After 15,000 miles on good year tires i had strange wear of all 4 tires. i went to the ford dealership burt ford 303-643-9020 and approved through ford all tires had been replaced. (this was bought new off of ford lot with goodyear tires) they stated the tires had coupled? bad tires and replace. 20,000 miles later the same thing happened all 4 tires and i was told by ford customer care, 1-800-241- ford, and burt ford that again it was the tires and again the new tires have started coupling. i feel this is the ford ranger 2001, 4 wheel drive, build defect that is making this happen. i at this time fear the vehicle has a major defect and this will make the truck unsafe and possibly cause loss of life. ford stated they checked front end only. they are not taking this as a real issue and have now placed me and my family in danger. *jb

Dayton tire separated from vehicle which caused fatal auto accident that killed my daughter (tammy renee egbert) on 21 april 2004 in rockledge, florida, bevard county on highway interstate 95. *la

I was driving in the off road area of oceano dunes and went off a sand dune head first about 15 feet. the entire front end is smashed, i hit the steering wheel so hard it is bent. neither the air bag nor the seat belt worked. i had taken the truck in for repair five different times because the air bag light would stay on for long periods of time. they said they had repaired it the last time but obviously they hadn't. i have called repeatedly since the accident, they keep promising to return my call but i get no response from them. first they wouldn't believe there was anything wrong and now they refuse to accept responsibility for the failure of their safety equipment to work. i wonder if any one is interested in a class action suit.*ak
