One problem related to air bag on-off switch has been reported for the 2000 Ford Ranger. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2000 Ford Ranger based on all problems reported for the 2000 Ranger.
Srs light is always on now, may be due to using switch to turn off passenger airbag a couple of times or driving with it off. Now the alert light for the passenger doesn't light either. Other problem is engine knocking even though this 2000 Ranger has only 36,000 miles and has been babied on super premium gas. I feel that Fords tend to fail just out of warranty, these problems happened literally at the mark of 36,000 miles. Please investigate them!.
