1 Defogger problem of the 2010 Ford Ranger

Failure Date: 10/18/2012

I have a 2010 Ford Ranger. It has 54,000 miles and the heater has stopped working. Apparently the heater in Rangers has been a problem for years. They break and they don't repair them because of the mileage. They also charge a fee to find the problem. I know it's electric and I'm not sure if it can cause a fire.

5 Defogger problem of the 1997 Ford Ranger

Failure Date: 10/21/2000

The blend air door inside of the heater/def plenum broke - casuing extreme heat in cab. Door is not serviceable - requires total heater replacement. See Ford TSB 99-8-8. 7-10 hours labor to fix a 2. 00 part. Ford replaced this abs plactic blend air door with stonger nylon - plenum #f87z-18471-da. This is a known defect yet no announcement is made to owners. This could cost me up to $1000. 00 or more to fix on a 3 year old car. Also this inhibits the ac system to work.
