“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10000948, filed 2003-01“Brake intermitently go to floor. Replaced master cyliner, wheel cylinders, rotors, pads & shoes. Still happening. Very scary because you never know when they will go to the floor.”
