| Purchased vehicle in november 1998. started problems in 12/98. purchased distributor shaft with wiring. back brakes and front brakes replacement. has had a miss since the vehicle was purchased. causing a jerking whicle driving sometimes. while starting the vehicle-gas fuming and high rpm reading where engine revs up too high. bad flooding if bronco doesn't start immediately. it will eventually flood out. air conditioner doesn't blow cool. has had refilled. lasted from hot summer but not cool at all now. heater doesnt' get really what you would call hot. when the vehicle was purchased a constant clicking of the electric door locks started on the passenger side. took the fuse for that out. afraid it would cause accidental door locking. passenger side door will not shut properly and window will not feed up wiwthout assistance. window is also power. when the bronco was taken for alignment, was told that frame was slightly bent on passengers side. has had to replace brake lines also. | |||

| I have a 1987 ford bronco xlt that i bought from j and l auto. it has no brake lights, no blinkers and the head lights are stuck on bright. the back window is plexy glass, also none of the hose are hooked up under the hood. this makes it run real rich and the oil leaks so bad that every week i have to put in 2 quarts of oil. there was also a gas leak that was small and got worse as time went on. i tried to fix the gas leak but i can't find a used one any where. as for fixing the rest of the stuff i still owe money on the bronco which i have not paid because its not street legal i had to buy a different car just to get back and forth to work because i was afred i would be in a crash because of no brake lights.ts | |||
