What owners report
My back leaf spring is completely broken from the bolt. This is abnormal and not acceptable , causing dangerous driving conditions. Other similar incidents are reported on online forums.
While operating my 2019 Ford Ranger under completely normal driving conditions without a heavy payload or trailer, the rear driver-side suspension suffered an instantaneous, catastrophic structural failure.

Rear Camera - Back Over Prevention - I took it to the dealer, they said there is no recall for my vehicle. It is currently available for inspection but I will need to get it fixed. Safety risk is elevated due to inability to fully see surroundings/people/children/pets, etc. behind the vehicle. The dealer saw that it is not working but I did not pay them to diagnose or inspect so they did not. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure. The first appearance was today, 10/7/2026 while at the dealer for an oil change.
Defective heat/ac blend box assembly. No heat or, more importantly, windshield defroster. Appears to be a common issue on this vehicle model.
Driver side rear leaf spring cracked at front mount. This happened with low mileage 20k and no towing or off-road driving. In town driving only.
