Common problems & what to inspect

Based on all 404 owner complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2004 Ford Ranger, here are the most-reported problem areas — and what to check before you buy.

💥 42 involved a crash 🔥 3 involved a fire 🚑 35 reported injuries

Air Bags 189 reports

🔍 Confirm the airbag light turns on then off at startup — if it stays lit there's a fault (costly, and a safety risk). Check for signs of prior deployment.

Structure 46 reports

🔍 Inspect for rust, fresh undercoating, mismatched paint, uneven panel gaps and any sign of prior collision or frame repair.

Suspension 29 reports

🔍 Listen for clunks over bumps, check the car sits level, and look for uneven tire wear and worn shocks or struts.

Power Train 27 reports

🔍 Drive through every gear: watch for slipping, hard or delayed shifts, and shudder. Check for transmission/driveline leaks and noises.

Service Brakes 23 reports

🔍 Brakes should feel firm and quiet — no grinding, pulsing or pulling. Check for an ABS light and uneven pad/rotor wear.

Vehicle Speed Control 19 reports

🔍 Test cruise control and throttle response, and watch for any hesitation or unintended acceleration.
