 The incident occurred on may 28, 2011 when my wife having thought what she heard was thunder looked out of the kitchen window into the backyard, and saw smoke coming out from under the hood of the vehicle a 1995 ford bronco xlt. she then notified me and i proceeded outside to find that the vehicle was indeed on fire. the fire started underneath the hood on the drivers side of the engine compartment directly over the drivers side tire. i attempted to extinguish the fire using a water hose, but was unable to do so. at the same time my wife then called the local fire department around 9:30 a.m. and they arrived shortly thereafter. by the time the firemen where able to extinguish the fire the entire engine compartment as well as the interior of the vehicle was destroyed. the windshield along with the passenger side door window had shattered. the passenger side tire was damaged, and the drivers side tire was completely destroyed. prior to the incident the ignition was not on, the engine was not running, and the vehicle had not ran for approximately one week. after describing to the fire marshal the events that lead to the fire he stated that he had encountered similar problems with vehicles of the same make and year model which was determined to be a result of a speed deactivation switch. i then called ford and using the vin number discovered that the this vehicle did indeed have a recall for such a switch. i have contacted ford and am currently waiting for a reply on the matter.

 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.

 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
