Description of the problem | My husband was east bound on hwy 90 by ritzville, wa when his ford ranger went off the road for no reason (according to witnesses as he had just passed a truck) the truck rolled, seat-belt failed and he was thrown from the truck. We have had lots of problems with this ranger and our bronco ii stalling out at road speeds. I believe this is what happened to my husband. According to the investigating policeman, there was no evidence of anything wrong with the truck such as a blown tire, broken tie-rod, etc. This accident occured on a straight strech of road in the early afternoon under good weather conditions. I have a number of repair and replacement reciepts related to this stalling problem. As well as a bronco ii that still stalls at highway speeds! Please help by investigating this problem.*ak |
