October 10, 2001, on Ford Story:
I bought a 2001 Ford Ranger XLT in Dec. 2000. It has a handling problem two Ford Dealers have been unable to duplicate. I regularly drive the vehicle on rough, gravel roads and I have to hold on for dear life to keep the vehicle from jumping sideways. It also chugs and bogs down going up the hills. I'm in the hills and the Ford dealers within 100 miles are in the Valley on flat land with paved roads.. When driving on Freeways if I hit a series of bumps it sets up a harmonic motion and the truck begins to hydroplane without water!!! Ford says there is nothing wrong with the truck yet I've got a signed statement from a fellow with 60 years automotive mechanical experience and I, personally, have 40 years of automotive mechanical experience to document the problem. Now Ford says they will only do warranty work and are totally avoiding my Lemon Law complaint. I'm continuing to pursue the matter.
