I was blinded by oncoming head lights not set to high beam and distraction from very bright head lights in rear view mirror (also not on high beam). the source is ford ranger pickups built in the last 5 years. other makes of trucks and suv's can be bad, but the ranger is the worst of the bunch. *la

I purchase this truck brand new from gene evans ford in august 2003. i started complaining to them a week later that the truck rides as though my butt is hitting the pavement on a trip i took. everyone ignored my concern in the service and sales department. when the problem was finally notice. i was sold a brand new truck with a severe bent axle and they would not do anything to repair the truck nor give me another one. they all played dumb and stupid as to never seeing the problem in the beginning. ford still owes me restitution. dealership should not be able to defraud the public on damage vehicles paying a fortune for just to kill you or someone else. gene evans knew there was a problem from the onset. there has been a lot of problems with this truck in the past, present and most likely in the future considering the repairs that has already been put into the truck out of my pocket. my vehicle does everthing in all motion and no motion at all. dangerous things happens including, cutting off constantly, lights are dim on the outside so it is very hard to see at night,rain coming in the rear window, truck started smoking, filled the reservoir and over flowed spewing the antifreeze all over the engine. it sounded like food was frying in very hot grease. there is a stinking odor, smells like very strong urine . sickening feeling comes over me and anyone in the truck.abs and check engine lights will not go off. the passenger window is moving slow as though it is going to stop. trucks jumps which causing me to bounce up and down while idling or at a stop.
