I have replaced the brakes about every 4 to 5 thousand miles. ($300.00) City driving is real hard on these broncos.
)
Replace starter 5 times. Needs excellent baterry with high cranking amps to start engine.
Replaced the fuel pump located in the gas tank 4 times. $ (400.00)
Brake lights work sometimes. Tail lights leak and have moss growing in them.
Replace back tailgate window. ($450.00)
Power locks have been replace. ($550.00)
Key to start car stuck in ignition twice because of faulty parts. ($490.00)
Replaced transmission. I used the bronco to tow a light boat. These broncos do not have transmission coolers on them and will overheat and break with not much usage. ($2300.00)
Had to repaint the whole truck due to fords bad paint and primer at manufacturing.
Nice ride when all is working. But what a waste a money.
Very under powered and won't stop well.
Your assessment of the 1990 Bronco is right on the money. Mine is the same model without the Eddie Bauer and has had most of the same problems. Nice truck to drive, but it's a money pit.
