I had an unfortunate accident occur yesterday with my 1995 ford bronco. About an hour or so after returning home (vehicle parked in driveway), i noticed smoke and fire pouring-out from under its hood. Fortunately i was able to extinguish the fire with a nearby garden hose, but the vehicle is a total loss. The sad thing is that although a 1995, it had never seen an upstate winter and was as close to mint as it gets for a vehicle of its age. The 'hot spot' appears to be in the immediate vicinity of the master cylinder, for which ford did issue a recall for a faulty cruise control harness which could result in a fire while the vehicle was parked. Ironically i did have the recall work performed...... Though this seems awfully coincidental. *tr

I bought my 1995 bronco new from academy ford in laurel md. I have kept up all maintenance and warranty repairs. A few days ago in mid april 2005 i noticed some corrosion on the rear spring shackle brackets. I inspected the bracket closer and found that the brackets had originally been painted with a heavy coat of black paint. Under this black paint on all the brackets corrosion has completely destroyed the integrity of the bracket. Large flakes of rusted metal about 1/16" thick came off in my hand. I'm not sure how much of the bracket metal is left. As soon as i ascertained the extent of the corrosion i made an appointment to have the situation assessed by my local ford service department. My concern is that these critical brackets should never have rusted to a state of complete decay . These brackets hold the rear leaf springs to the frame of the vehicle. Should they fail due to corrosion i feel the consequences would undoubtablely be catastrophic. *ak this vehicle has not been subjected to any undue treatment. I do not pull trailers or plow snow or any other conditions which might cause undue stresses to the vehicle's frame. I was very careful in winter to wash off any road salts or sands that could accelerate corrosion. But my best efforts to prolong the vehicles lifetime are thwarted by a process that did not protect a critcal bracket whose failure is emminent. The bronco is a fine vehicle, i've had a few problems that seemed reasonable for me to fix, but the corrosion to the rear spring shackel brackets is unacceptable. These brackets might over the lifetime of the vehicle show some surface rust but not to be corroded to the point of failure.*ak

The vehicle was parked when all of a sudden the engine compartment caught on fire. Results showed that there was an electrical shortage in the engine. *jb *bf

The right side of the dash has come loose and bounces when traversing speed bumps and rough roads. This is a known issue with a ford engineered modification made in production and the ford dealer in poway did not even know about it.

I have an electric reclining seat (driver side) in my 1995 ford bronco. Suddenly and without warning the back of the seat collapsed backward. I narrowly escaped colliding with another car and the freeway wall. I was able to bring the vehicle to a safe stop. I took the bronco to ford. They said the frame twisted and broke. I am not huge! About 240 lbs. They charged me $350.00 to fix it. I didn't think about it at the time, but in 1997 i was rear ended and the same thing happened to the seat at that time. It completely collapsed rendering the air-bag and seat belt ineffective. A new seat was put in at that time. So this seat is only about 6 years old. This sounds to me like a poor design and a safety hazard. *nlm

The starter motor cables and solenoid short out because the starter motor is located near the front right wheel so that road spray is directed at the starter motor. The failure has happened twice at $500 a incident. *nlm

While driving 55 mph and without prior warning the roof rack fell off along with the articles attached to it.

Drivers lumbar seat shorted out and caught fire while parked, engine off. Interior was completly burned. Damage unknown at this time.*ak *yh

I feel that this problem was caused by poor engineering by ford motor company. I have contacted ford motor but they refuse to take responsibilty. This fire was not my fault ! This fire was caused by a faulty plastic brake reservoir unit that leaked on the main wire harness causing a short then a fire. My insurance company paid for the repairs after i paid out $500 dollers for my deductible. I feel that ford moter should reimburse me my $500 dollars. My insurance company refuses to pursue the matter. Ford motor refuses to take action unless my insurance company talks to them. My hands are tied. I'm just a consumer fighting two giants. Thanks for takeing the time to hear my complaint. Mike n.*ak

Opened hood and noticed fire and complete melt down of master brake cylinder unit/reservior, which is made of plastic. Major wire harness is near plastic master brake cylinder, some wires are underneath unit. Cause: oil brake fluid leaking from plastic reservior causing wire to dissolve, then caused a fire to start when starting vehicle.
