Hood/cowling along the windshield allows water to leak under the hood of the vehicle and wets the coils and plugs causing the engine to mis fire and shutter violently. This engine mis fire and sudden lack of power can cause the vehicle to obstruct the flow of traffic resulting in an accident. Problem was reproduced by the dealer and they replace coils, plugs, and installed an accessory engine cover to prevent the issue in the future. All at my cost. The problem remains that there are many Ford Rangers on the road unaware of this problem. This problem is documented in a Ford TSB but a more aggressive approaching is needed to resolve this issue.
Chassis corrosion problems. Dealer traded the unit for another. Note several with the same corrosion problem. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.
Corrosion problems on the chassis will be corrected by delaer. It is not the first vehicle of this model that I see with the same problem. I have more photos.
