| Before the vehicle was purchased i was told the oil was changed and windshield wipers wre changed along with some oil gaskets. i tok the vehicle to my father he checked and the oil nor the wipers were changed. i went back and was sent to a different garage to have these things done. later that week i reported other things and was told to drive it a couple of weeks and then come back with things i thought was wrong. the next week i had to have it towed to the other garage to have a fuel pump put on it. i called the day before my thirty days was up to inform them i have a blown head gasket i was then informed the warranty only covered oil parts of the engine. when i bought the bronco i was not told only the oil parts of the engine i was told the engine. *ak | |||

| I was unable to get the dealer that replaced the engine to investigate the suspected leaking head gasket/cracked block problem with paying additional charges. after a major failure recently, ford refused to honor the warranty, as i had gone over the # of miles (but still within the 1 year time). the tfi module problem has been ongoing for 3 years, and has caused as 4 stalls at street/highway speed, plus 2 failures at traffic lights. *ak | |||
