TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1989 FORD BRONCO. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 96V071000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION). THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE DUE TO A DEFECTIVE STEERING COLUMN. THE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE BEFORE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 153,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 153,000.

1989 FORD BRONCO II, SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE IN OUR GARAGE 8/23/02. I WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS PURCHASED FROM A DEALER IN TAYLOR TEXAS, VIN # [XXX]. THE VEHICLE WAS ROLLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY, WHEREBY IT BURNED BEYOND RECOGNITION. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE VEHICLE AND DRIVEWAY REPLACEMENT. AT THIS TIME THEY ARE DECLINING THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THE CORRECTIVE ACTION REQUESTED. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT FORD BROADEN THE SCOPE OF IT'S RECALL BASED UPON THE NHTSA FINDINGS 4/25/96 RECALL #96V071000 OR THE FORD RECALL RELATED TO THE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH . *NM *JB *NM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
WE WERE DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT, CAME AROUND A CURVE ON HWY 86, HIT LOOSE GRAVEL AND LOST CONTROL.....WE ROLLED THE VEHICLE ONCE(LANDING ON OUR TOP). AS SOON AS THE BRONCO 2 STARTED TO ROLL OVER, THE TOP OF THE CAB STARTED BUCKLING LIKE AN ALUMINUM SODA CAN...THE RESULT WAS THE DRIVER SIDE BEING SMASHED ABOUT TWO INCHES INTO THE DRIVER'S SEATBACK. I HAVE SEEN OTHER BRONCO 2 THAT HAVE ROLLED AND THEY HELD UP MUCH BETTER THAN OURS. MY FIANCEE, OUR SON, OUR DOG AND I(BEING 6 MONTHS PREGNANT) ALL WENT TO THE HOSPITAL TO GET CHECKED. THIS TOTAL DAMAGE OF THE VEHICLE COST US $200.00 TO GET THE VEHICLE AND OUR BELONGINGS HOME, NOT TO MENTION LOST WAGES AND HOSPITAL BILLS.
CONSUMER PARKED THE VEHICLE AT A RESTAURANT AND WENT INSIDE TO EAT. WITHIN TEN MINUTES THE CONSUMER NOTICED FIRE TRUCKS COMING INTO THE RESTAURANT'S PARKING LOT. CONSUMER WENT OUTSIDE TO INVESTIGATE WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND NOTICED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH CAUSED THE FIRE. *AK
THE FLOOR PAN UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT HAD THROWN. IF VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OR BRAKES HAD TO BE DEPRESSED SUDDENLY DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WOULD RIP OUT BECAUSE IT WAS ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR PAN. THERE WAS TSB/ RECALL IN ALL DATA B93900801 FOR THE FLOOR PAN REINFORCEMENT(NOT IN ARTEMIS). ARTEMIS HAS INVESTIGATION PE90036, BUT IT'S FOR THE FLOOR BOARD.*AK
