The truck is currently at Crossroads Ford in Indian Trail NC for 3 weeks.  It has been there once before and 3 times at Town and Country Ford in Charlotte.  Both dealers said this is the way the brakes are supposed to work.  I was also told by a service manager that this is due to the electronic braking system and they are reluctant to spend time on troubleshooting because Ford cut their renumeration.  A service Field Engineer stated that the brakes were in spec and traveled 2 3/4\" toward the floor.  This is a subjective observation as every person uses different foot pressure.  The gas pedal is at 3\" off the floor and the brakes are 5\".  The brake pedal passes the gas pedal and many times, my foot hits both pedals.  My inspection with a ruler shows the brake pedal going 1 1/2\" past the gas pedal.  There were no warnings the first time this happened.  I have taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who bled air out of both rear brake lines which helped.  This repair lasted 3 months and now the issue is back.

After buying the truck I started it, engaged 4 wheel drive and slippery/ icy setting. On the way back to Fairbanks the steering was hard to turn and got progressively harder the faster I drove and the colder it became. About half way home it became exhausting to steer requiring a lot of force to turn the steering wheel that actually resisted with real force being turned. I didn\u2019t know the lane keeping would turn on with the cruise control but it did and resisted me even more. The roads became black ice and it was freezing rain. The phone charge port lost power, the dash blanked out, there was no radio and the rear power port I had switched to lost power and my phone died. I was driving about 30 to 40 mph on the 2 lane undivided snow covered black ice covered highway. In a curve in the road where the highway maintenance snow plows had stopped plowing I believe the truck mistook the snow line for the painted line and unexpectedly and surprisingly actually turned the steering wheel towards the double solid dividing centerline and I turned back into my lane. This slight movement caused the truck to totally slide out of control and cross the double solid dividing centerline and the truck went into opposite highway oncoming lane! Luckily there was no traffic coming the other way or it could have been a horrible accident. I hit the brakes and the truck actually stopped good, and then I got back into my lane and pulled over at the first chance.

The safety incident has not yet occurred, but the manufacturer has stated it could/may occur if a certain fix is not performed, but are unwilling to issue a recall for said fix, or even produce the parts they say are necessary to implement the fix.  I own a 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor that Ford has demonstrated has a design flaw in their bed (for vehicles produced before mid Sept, 2024) in that it cannot carry more than 88 lbs on the bed rails without the potential for failure. I need to install a topper to protect and secure cargo in the bed which will exceed the 88 lb failure number they state. The fix they say must be implemented is to install 2 Ford supplied load box reinforcement brackets (called J-braces), yet I've been trying to order/obtain said braces for almost 5 months now without success. Ford seems to have given up on producing them as they've been \"out of stock\" since I purchased my vehicle, and Ford has cancelled my order for them twice now, when I try to submit an order.  If the bed fails due to weight above 88 lbs put on the rails while driving, depending on what a failure looks like, it could cause collisions with the affected vehicle, or with other traffic in the vicinity.  Ford has been completely unresponsive in issuing a recall so far regarding this known design flaw, yet they redesigned the suspect area mid year to fix the issue on vehicles produced after mid-Sept and going forward. Yet they are leaving purchasers of vehicles prior to this time, in a precarious position as they have potential safety concerns that Ford is unwilling to address, or even provide a solution for.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2024","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"RANGER","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11632810,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"12/27/2024","dateComplaintFiled":"12/28/2024","vin":"1FTER4JH3RL","components":"SUSPENSION,STRUCTURE","summary":"I purchased a new 2024 Ford Ranger yesterday.

If operators of this vehicle are not aware and do load the bed side rails over 88lbs, this could pose a safety issue to the driver or other drivers on the road around the vehicle.  Ford has not notified all owners of affected vehicles, and in my case I found out my vehicle was affected out of sheer curiosity and reading forums with posts of other owners whose vehicles are also affected.  Ford is currently not willing to address the issue without additional cost burden on the vehicle owner.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2024","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"RANGER","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11617035,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"09/27/2024","dateComplaintFiled":"09/28/2024","vin":"1FTER4KP5RL","components":"UNKNOWN OR OTHER","summary":"I bought this ford ranger and got it last week and went to put a topper on it and you cant - the box rails only hold 80 pounds .
