Problems with 2005 Ford Ranger POWER TRAIN

While driving at approximately 35 mph, with approximately 600 pounds of weight in the back or bed, on a road that really wasn't real slick so i didn't have it in 4wd, and suddenly the pickup veered to the left and hit a concrete jersey barrier. it bounced off and went toward the right and hit a guard rail and then rolled over on to its top. the sheriff deputy noticed that the left rear wheel was missing and thought it was strange that the axle broke at that low speed and situation. upon inspection of the broken surface on the pickup, he noticed what looked like rust as if the axle had cracked sometime earlier and finally broke off. i looked at the broken surfaces and could see what looked like possible rust and something white. the pickup never has handled so strangely so i thought i would try searching the internet for a similar occurrence. it didn't take too long using google to find another instance where a person had reported the axle on the same side on, i believe, a 2004 ranger had broken and the pickup rolled. i took some pictures of the broken axle surfaces, but it is not possible to attach them to this form. *tr

At startup my check engine light came on and as i went to drive away the entire truck started shaking and the check engine light started to flash.i tried to fix the vehicle with a scan tool and started replacing the less expensive parts and when it was all said and done it turned out to be the driver side cylinder head number four and six cylinder they both had recessed valves.before the truck got real bad i was on the interstate going to be a slight incline and the truck was doing 75 miles an hour and then suddenly dropped to maybe 15 20 miles an hour almost causing an accident on interstate 10 i had to immediately pull off the shoulder of the road to avoid getting rear ended.i just recently replaced the third set of heads on the same vehicle same side same cylinders and i'm being told now that they think its the catalytic converters i really don't know i like my truck but this is getting ridiculous.i've called ford directly told them what's been going on and they said my truck does not fall under the campaign bulletins and that i will have to replace my head's every 42000 miles. *tr

I am the owner of a 2005 ford ranger there was a problem with the transmission. it was taken to the dealer after approximately 5 days we were able to pick the ford up and the transmission was replaced. shortly after this the vehicle started to shut down while driving for no apparent reason .during one of these times it shut down i was rear ended,it was taken back to the dealer was there for 3 days, and they said there was nothing wrong with the vehicle as they could not duplicate the problem the dealer informed me the vehicle had no problems, and was very safe to drive. also, i contacted ford , and was informed there have been no other complaints of the 2005 ford ranger just shutting down. this vehicle was far from safe not only for the driver and any passengers but also for other drivers on the road. as it just shut off when it wantedf. *ak

3 times going down the road the truck died and had to be towed. all 3 times was the inertia switch. the other time they replaced part of the transmission. all this on a new truck i've had for 6 weeks. the truck isn't safe. go out into heavy interstate traffic going 65 and shut your vehicle off. it isn't good. they want me to try it again. i can't put my family or myself in that position again.
