general problems of the 2011 Ford Ranger

The advanced trac light stayed on all the time. Took to Ford dealer and costed 100. 00 to check light, they said was restraint control module, it affected brakes, advanced trac, air bags and anti-tip over device. The vehicle only had 3500 miles on it. The part is rediculously priced!! 650. 00 is outrageous!!!.

Tl-the contact owns a 2011 Ford Ranger. The contact stated that while coming to a stop, the brakes was depressed and failed to respond without warning. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle accelerated without warning. As a result, the contact crashed into another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. There was not any injuries. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer. The technician informed that the vehicle was operating as designed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 82,500. The VIN was not available. Ss.

Truck shifter is sticking, the antilock light trouble light comes on and truck will not shift from park. My son who is a mechanic says the brake switch is bad, you have to step on brake and wait for a click then the vehicle will shift into gear. So I tried this and indeed is the issue. This truck only has 40k miles on it. Problem started at about 30k miles I did not know that the issue was a switch. I just thought the shifter was sticking. I had complained of this problem to dealership but it never was bad when they looked at it. Now it is getting to point of being a problem. The trouble light only comes on after trying to put truck into gear, then light stays on for random amount of time. Truck was stationary to begin with. It doesn't matter where location is, it is random timing when this occurs.

When breaking vehicle accelerates in forward and reverse. October 2011, I was slowly backing and upon applying the brakes vehicle surged backward almost hitting two men directing me. The next day I carried vehicle to an open field and tried unsuccessfully to duplicare the problem. I assumed driver error. Several days later when braking going forward at about 25 mph the vehicle surged forward. Over the next year the defect was noticed in varing degrees. Four times when starting the engine with the brake pedal depressed the engine raced. April 2013 while slowly backing out of a parking space I braked to avoid a vehicle moving behind me. My vehicle surged backward almost hitting the vehicle behind me. Local dealer can find nothing wrong with vehicle.
