WTF... I'm in my new 2 months old Ranger... Is just freezing outside... Thankfully not 24 below...Its rain turning to snow... I used my Ford App to start it early to warm... Then I go to push button on key fob to put key in the ignition...
and guess what... Pop out switch blade key won't f'n open up...
I try over and over... I push and push the stupid designed spring release button and nothing...It's stuck inside the Key Fob housing... I'm f'n stranded inside my own truck running and I can't drive away???!!!How stupid dangerous is this Ford?
Finally... I get it to open after banging ...playing f'n with it for several minutes...
I go home turbo driving angry with my 2022 Ranger.
Then close the key fob blade key like I'm Steve Mcqueen home from beating bad guys... Throw the fob... Wallet... Glasses down on the counter discusted...
Wait... I'll try to open my new Ranger 'danger' fob again... It F'n won't open again... This time I tried for five minutes... Still closed shut... Spring mechanism is a bust!!! I thought this could be a problem future when I first picked up the Ranger .. Yep . It F'n is... Just can't believe it's only 2 months later...
What a stupid designed POS key... I am now using backup key fob... What if if I was really needing to get somewhere... Or not wanting to freeze to death like many did last week in the Polar Vortex that came crashing down into the US... Ford Stupid... Can I please talk to the engineer team that thought of this 'danger' design stupid key fob... No wonder they went with push button ignition on the New 2024 ...Ranger .. Is there a Recall?... Is there a warranty for a new key fob.. pretty sure there F'n very expensive to buy... This kind of dangerous stupidity engineering with no recall stated is very angry to me .. that's why I dumped Nissan for life!
Nissan wouldn't put thru a Recall on their 300K sold 2004-2006 Altimas for a faulty TPO Switch that failed out of nowhere dangerous while driving killing engine/idle and starting capabilities.
I wonder WTF is wrong with Ford sometimes... I still bleed Ford...But then again... So do all investors (me) wonder as their stock has plummeted 25% this year and not considered a 'Buy' anymore.
What next am I to discover that's gonna surprise me of stupid engineering??
