1990 Ford Bronco II XL Sport review from North America
"Not very reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the fuel pump 3 times.
Replaced the valve cover gasket 4 times.
Replaced both power window motors.
Replaced gas tank due to a leak.
Replaced fan clutch twice.
Replaced water pump 3 times.
Replaced starter.
Repaired the transfer case twice.
General comments?
It is a good looking vehicle, but has been unreliable. I find that the service is poor at Ford dealers and I have been to many different ones.
On the plus side, the seats are comfortable and the shocks and brakes lasted me 10 years.
I would not recommend this car to anyone. Next time I will buy a Japanese vehicle for reliability.
