    Ford Issues A Recall On 2019 Ranger

      Deals with the shifter interlock

    The Ford Ranger is beginning to hit dealers, but it has already been hit with a recall.

    Ford announced today that 3,500 Rangers in North America (3,000 in the U.S. and 500 in Canada) have an issue with the PRNDL bezel wiring, The problem deals with the wiring interfering with the shifter interlock override, preventing the transmission from locking when put into park. This means you can shift it out of park when the vehicle is off and without a foot on the brake.

    Ford says that it is unaware of any accidents or injuries arising from this issue. The trucks involved were built between June 4, 2018 and Jan. 9, 2019.

    Dealers will investigate whether or not the truck does shift out of park when it is turned off, and without a foot on the brake. If it does, then dealers will relocate the harness and perform the test.

    Ford Motor Company Issues Recall For Select 2019 Ranger Vehicles To Verify Shifter Interlock Functionality

    DEARBORN, Mich., Feb. 6, 2019 – Ford is issuing a safety compliance recall on certain 2019 Ford Ranger vehicles to verify shifter interlock functionality. In the affected vehicles, the PRNDL bezel wiring may interfere with the shifter interlock override, preventing the shifter from locking in the park position and allowing the driver to shift the transmission out of park with the vehicle off and without a foot on the brake pedal.

    Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries resulting from this condition.

    This action affects approximately 3,500 Ranger vehicles in North America, including approximately 3,000 in the United States and 500 in Canada. 

    Affected 2019 Ranger vehicles were built at Michigan Assembly Plant, June 4, 2018 to Jan. 9, 2019.

    Dealers will verify shifter interlock functionality by attempting to move the transmission shifter out of park with the vehicle off and without a foot on the brake pedal. If the shifter moves out of park, dealers will look for wiring interference, relocate the wiring and retest. The Ford reference number for this recall is 19C02.

      Silver and burgundy will always be #1 for me ... a dark burgundy, so not really red. The only gray I like is the one like the old "dove gray" offered by Buick and Cadillac.  My dad had a Buick sedan in that "dove gray" (the closest thing to it would be the one offered by the more recent Pacifica) with the gray velour buttoned cushion interior.  I borrowed it a lot.  Well, I found it for him!  It looked good and felt like you were driving around in your living room.  But that's it. Life is funny.  In their youth, some of these immigrants could have never imagined sitting in a plush velour car interior and looking at the road ahead through a hood ornament!

      Take a look at these Cement homes, I find many to be very nice and am hoping that one day to build one as a retirement home in the Rambler format. There are some lovely home for Cement that most people would not realize are cement. There are 35 different two story and ramblers with some of the ramblers having basements, but these 4 I have included on top of the 7z file are my favorite for Cement homes.

      With cars, I do like dark metallic gray on luxury sedans and sports cars, esp with red interiors (I love red interiors—so uncommon today)… but those light battleship grays and  matte grays…ugh.

      Europeans have for a long time, used concrete to build their homes. Not just the foundations that we do here in North America, but the whole house.  Dare I say for thousands of years?   But even in modern times, Europe (Greece as the next sentences is anecdotal) has used concrete for their foundations and walls as long as I remember going back to the late 1970s.   The concrete is bare inside and out as I recall. Maybe today they paint?  And these concrete homes are not mansions for rich peoples, but homes for everyday peoples. I dont mind concrete for the whole house.  If I was living in Europe that is.  Here in North America I prefer my wood framed and drywall  homes.  In a modern mansion?  Concrete?  Id say maybe.  Depending on how the home is styled I guess.  But I dont like big mansions either though.  I find huge homes useless and lifeless.  I would have a huuuuuuuuge garage though.  And the garage would be fully concrete. So there is that. I grew up with a mother that hated colour in her home. White walls. White appliances. White dishes. But flower patterned sofas and chairs. French Provincial style  on top of that.  And flowers everywhere. The colour in our home came from real plants.   I hate white walls.  I hate flowers in the house and I LOATHE French Provincial anything and everything...        I hate grey on anything. Especially cars.  But my basement walls where my TV resides, the colour of the walls are dark grey where the TV is and the other three sides are a lighter shade of grey.  I hate grey rainy weather.   Grey is such a depressing colour. Black on walls?  Ill pass.  But as an accent somewhere I wouldnt mind.
