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
