Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)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 SUBJECTED TO ANY UNDUE TREATMENT. I DO NOT PULL TRAILERS OR PLOW SNOW OR ANY OTHER CONDITIONS WHICH MIGHT CAUSE UNDUE STRESSES TO THE VEHICLE'S FRAME. I WAS VERY CAREFUL IN WINTER TO WASH OFF ANY ROAD SALTS OR SANDS THAT COULD ACCELERATE CORROSION. BUT MY BEST EFFORTS TO PROLONG THE VEHICLES LIFETIME ARE THWARTED BY A PROCESS THAT DID NOT PROTECT A CRITCAL BRACKET WHOSE FAILURE IS EMMINENT. THE BRONCO IS A FINE VEHICLE, I'VE HAD A FEW PROBLEMS THAT SEEMED REASONABLE FOR ME TO FIX, BUT THE CORROSION TO THE REAR SPRING SHACKEL BRACKETS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THESE BRACKETS MIGHT OVER THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE SHOW SOME SURFACE RUST BUT NOT TO BE CORRODED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE.*AK
