    Summary of information from manufacturer: manufacturer hasbeencontacted, and provided twelve reports of under seat fires.Analysis: thelumbar switch is mounted on the lower seat frame and thewireing harness is installed between the slide rails. Movement of theseat may fray the insulation and present a possible fire hazard.Ford has made two production changes; 1) relocated the wireing harnessto the seat cushion flexolator using a retaining strap (7/86); 2) addedprotection to the complete lumbar wireing assembly under each seat.Because of the potential for a fire to ignite in the passenger compartmentof the vehicle, this p.E. Is being upgraded to an engineering analysis.===

While driving on the interstate at about 55 mph a cloud of smoke came from under the vehicle. When pulled over and hood lifted i noticed a fire on driver side of engines. Car was towed to dealer and i was informed that the repairs were going to cost $2000 and up not considering the block that had been cracked from fire damage. Fire was due to a failure in the radiator and the water pump. *nlm

I have a 1987 ford bronco xlt that i bought from j and l auto. It has no brake lights, no blinkers and the head lights are stuck on bright. The back window is plexy glass, also none of the hose are hooked up under the hood. This makes it run real rich and the oil leaks so bad that every week i have to put in 2 quarts of oil. There was also a gas leak that was small and got worse as time went on. I tried to fix the gas leak but i can't find a used one any where. As for fixing the rest of the stuff i still owe money on the bronco which i have not paid because its not street legal i had to buy a different car just to get back and forth to work because i was afred i would be in a crash because of no brake lights.Ts

I have had this vechicle for 4 years and i have had ignition problems 4 times. I had the ignition replaced 3 times. 3 months ago i went to pick up my daughters from school and it would not when we were going to leave the school. I had to leave it ther and come several hours later. When i returned i played with the ignition a litttle bit and it started. It was fine for a couple of days then it wouldn't start at all. I had it towed to my mechanic and he said it wasn't getting any fuel pressure. He replaced a corroded wire and secured fuel pump& filter properly. It fine again for a couple of weeks and it started having the same problem. It wouldn't start! I have to keep playing with the ignition before it will crank over. Sometimes it will sometimes it won't. It has stalled on me 3 times in the past week while driving. I ordered a 2001 250 ford last week and am having second thoughts about following threw with it because of the bad experience i have had with this bronco.
