1988 Ford Bronco II Engine cooling Problems

“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.”

“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. …”

“An exhaust leak melted plastic fuel lines and started fire under vehicle burning lines and all electrical wireing under vehicle, thus causing shorting of many relays in engine compartment.”

“Engine compartment fire; after hard start, drove approximately 100 yds, turned off engine, turned on again, heard loud pop. Underhood on driver's side engulfed with flames, no prior warning; reported by father of owner.”
