Truck continues to have airbag lights on even after repairs at ford dealership. The first time it happened it would only come on when cold and would go off after 30-45 minutes.when airbag light was on gauges, heat and air and stereo would not work. That was november 2020. The dealership replaced body control module and other electrical components. June 2021 the airbag light is on again. The code itā€™s giving is short in passenger airbag circuit. The truck is also saying that rear driver door is open when shut and continually tries to lock and unlock doors. Interior lights stay on because the truck thinks the door is open. Dealership keeps putting off seeing truck for diagnosing.will not answer if the truck is safe to drive or if airbags will function if the truck is involved in an accident.
We were heading east on a city street when we came to an intersection. The light was green so we continued through the intersection. There was another car heading west on the same street and turned left directly in front of us at the intersection.we were traveling between 40-45 mph. We could not avoid the car that turned in front of us. We hit the side of the second vehicle (the one turning south) head on with our vehicle. The airbags in our vehicle did not deploy. Both the fireman and sheriff on the seen commented on the fact that our airbags should have deployed. Also after our vehicle was towed back to the dealership, the head mechanic was shocked that the airbags did not deploy. Our vehicle has a bent frame on both sides and has been totaled.
Extended cab model, rear driver door intermittently indicates door ajar. Alert appears while in motion, usually after a bump in the road. This happens after the door is closed by gripping midway down the frame. This warning can be prevented if the door is closed by gripping the top of the door frame. This does not occur on the rear passenger door. This has occurred ever since the vehicle was purchased new from a dealer.
My truck(2020 ford ranger) has fuel contamination in the engine oil. I changed the oil for the first time when the truck had 860 miles on it. The oil reeked of gasoline when i changed it. I sent the oil into blackstone for analysis and the results showed a 4.3% fuel dilution of the oil, which according to the company is a cautionary level. They also stated the oil viscosity was low and probably due to fuel dilution. I opened a ford customer complaint (cas-29025613) and took it to dealer. The dealer inspected the vehicle and said nothing is needing repair at this time. No tsb's are listed for this complaint. The dealer said they tried calling ford to update the complaint claim with their findings but couldn't do so because was already closed! very frustrating. There are several other ford ranger owners (on ranger5.com forums) who also complain of having fuel dilution in their oil and ford has yet to take them seriously and investigate the root cause.
When i start the car, it makes a rattlenoise and when the engine warms up, it goes away, but every time i accelerate, you can hear the rattle again and when i remove my foot from the acceleration pedal, the rattle goes away and like that every time i accelerate.i took the car to the dealer and explained them about the noise and later that day, they called and told that in the 2019 and 2020 ford ranger, the engine came with a noise and it's normal in the engine, that they were told by ford not to attempt to fix it because the noise is part of the engine.it does not sound right and if in the future i want to sell i probably wouldn't because of the noise. If they have to replace the engine i'm okay with it, but i want that rattle noise out of my truck
Rear passenger side door is hard to open and close. My seven year old can't open it without help on that side. Warning light comes on while driving sometimes when it is closed. After parking the problem causes the rear tailgate to stay on to drain battery because truck registers the door as ajar. Have to slam and relock several times to get warning and lights to turn off. When an object is in that door's pocket the problem is worse and it may make the alarm go off hours after parking. Often takes several attempts of opening and closing doors and turning interior lights on and off to get the truck locked with all the lights off.
Our new 2020 ford ranger xlt listed a feature call pre-collision assist w/aeb. The truck did not give a warning nor did it apply the brakes automatically. Nothing occurred before we ran into the rear end of the car in-front of us. The car ahead was stopped at a traffic light and we ran into the rear end at about 20 mph.
I get an ''imminent collision warning" display and aural sound at random times, approximately 1x week, while driving straight, moderate speeds, dry weather.

When you make the changes or you're stopping, you hit the transmission. Talk to other owners. They have the same problem, and the dealer says that everything is fine
The right front seat belt pulled out of its anchor in the rear door.itā€™s clear the webbing did not go through the mounting eye. The belt was held in place only by the plastic housing until it pulled out today. This is the same problem covered by ford recall 19s23 for 2019 ranger super cab up to june 19, 2019 build date. Mine is a 2020 model built 9/20 over a year after the recall. Iā€™d rack it up as a one-off defect except for the recall.

The adaptive curise control does not work like other vehicles. When the cruise control is active it keeps the proper distance between cars until the car in front slows down and then when there is about two car lengths it releases the brakes making you have to jam on the brakes before hitting the car in front. My other vehicles stop and keep the proper distance. Ford dealer first said this is not the way it should work but after talking to ford they say thats the way it works. Seems like a big safety issue i almost had a rear end collision the first day i got the truck
On 04-07-2021 i was traveling west on florida s.r. 60 / us 301; when a car in front of me was stopping. I applied the brakes and failed to stop in time; hitting the rear end of the auto in front of me. It appears to me that the brakes did not work correctly to stop. I feel (felt) like the brake pedal when applied felt like air in the brake line system. The brake petal almost went all the way to the floor. Their was only about 3130 miles on the vehicle at the time of this invident. I still feel that there is a problem with the brakes and had them checked by the dealer on 08-20-2021 where theyperformed a brake inspection and the pads and rotor were measured.upon the filing of this report i still do not feel comfortable nor safe driving this vehicle with the brake issue. Also my front driver air bag did not deploy. The auto body manager said when i asked as to why; that the sensor perhaps was not hit straight on to make it deploy. I will follw up on an additional complaint on the air bag issue
Brake pedal travel is long, soft and inconsistent. Feels like as if there is air in the line.

Brand new 2020 ranger supercab (extended cab) rear door ajar lights stay on constantly. Known issue with these trucks and body style, ford should recall them and replace the door sensors. Could be a safety issue.
On several occasions in the last three weeks, i've felt severe shaking--almost as if the truck was heaving at virtually any speed. This has occurred on surface streets and freeways. Over the weekend, it occurred so frequently that my wife and i abandoned an out of town trip for fear the transmission was about to fail completely.
The contact owns a 2020 ford ranger. The contact stated while driving at 10 mph, the vehicle accelerated independently. The contact stated the brake pedal was depressed but failed to effectively stop the vehicle. The gear shifter was shifted into park to stop the vehicle. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not informed of failure. The failure mileage was 5,000. The vin was not available.
The windshield and rear window are wavey, making objects blurred. I've had the truck to the dealer, they tell me they never noticed it before. I looked at the 2021 ranger pickups and they have the same problem. The larger pickups don't have the problem. It makes it hard to read signs and traffic.
