VEHICLE DEWVELOPED CRACKS ON THE BODY FRAME OVER THE DOORS. THIS ALLOWED WATER TO SEEP INTO ITS STRUCTURE AND FLOW THROUGH THE FRAME INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP WELDED THE CRACKS, BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED TWO WEEKS LATER. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
COMPLETE FAILURE OF REAR DIFFERENTIALS - ALL INTERNAL PARTS DESTROYED. FORD DEALER THAT REPAIRED VEHICLE GAVE NO REASON FOR FAILURE. NO EXTERNAL DAMAGE. VEHICLE USED NORMALLY - NO OFF-ROAD OR HEAVY TRAILER USE. CONTACTED FORD VICE PRESIDENT, NOT COMPENSATION OFFERED. PAID $3K TO REPAIR REAR END WITH NO DEALER WARRANTY. REASON: NOT SURE WHY IT WENT OUT BEFORE. FORD STATED THAT DUE TO FAILURE HAPPENING 36 MONTHS A 14 DAYS AFTER VEHICLE MANUFACTURED - NOT COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTEE. CONTACTED BBB, NO ASSISTANCE. SOLD BRONCO AND WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT AGAIN DUE TO THE WAY I WAS TREATED BY THE COMPANY. THE DEALER THAT FIXED THE UNIT TOLD ME THAT HE "FELT" IT WAS DUE TO A DEFECT IN MATERIALS IN THE REAR END - BUT COULD/WOULD NOT PUT THAT IN WRITING.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER
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
