2006 Ford Ranger. Consumer writes in regards to broken timing chain. The consumer stated timing chain guide was trapped between the gear and plastic cover. The hole in the cover was enlarged to remove the broken chain position. Also, the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time completing the airbag recall repair.
~tl the contact owns a 2006 Ford Ranger. While driving 30 mph, the contact noticed that the vehicle would not accelerate and the check engine indicator illuminated.

Engine losing compression after 45000 miles. While on street, lacking power due to compression,cannot get up to speed causing traffic jam.
Fuel inertial cut-off switch activates randomly, usually once or twice a year. Result is sudden unexpected loss of engine power. Can happen while driving in town or on the freeway. Does not matter if the vehicle is moving fast or slow. The device can be reset by pushing a button but the device is not accessible from the drivers side while driving. Dangerous as the loss of power is total, immediate, and without warning. The is currently no recall for this item but I see from your website and other websites that this problem has happened to other people.
2006 Ford Ranger v6 3. 0 biggest problem. Multiple cylinder misfire. Replaced multiple parts already nothing has worked. Engine code showing misfire in cylinder 4,5,6. Multiple misfires. Looked online many others with the same problem.
Runs rough at stop. Hesitates when accelerates. Could cause accident at intersections. Valve recession problem as described in Ford issued TSB.
Ford vehicle lost power and stopped running with full tank of fuel. Would not restart, had towed to repair shop. Replaced fuel pump for $606. 99. Drove about a mile and same thing happened again. Found that the fuel inertia shut off switch needed re-setting. Bought a fuel pump I didn't need. This has happened multiple times this year again. Ford dealer said I needed a fuel pump. (35,000 miles) again, no way. The replacement part (inertia switch) moves the switch from passenger floor area to side kick panel. The design change shows design flaw. Ford should replace for no cost. Very dangerous when engine dies.
No event leading up to failure. Engine just quit. No warning of any kind. Engine would quit and operator would have to wait before restarting. At one point the vehicle did not restart without the help of a dealership mechanic several dealerships replaced the fuel pump. Fuel pump replaced twice.
