These bronco ii's are something else. I just purchased mine. There are minor cracks in the floor in the rear of vehicle, the power steering pressure hose busted and brakes are incredibly hard to use to stop the suv. I found recall on the 1988 ranger for rear drum brakes that were the wrong size but i cannot find that recall for the bronco ii figuring it was made with the same parts would think that the drum size makes it hard to stop the vehicle without pumping. There are a few other problems also but these are the biggest ones i have had so far. The power steering pressure hose replacement makes the power steering come back. There is also a sputtering noise made by the engine when taking off from stop signs occasionally making the vehicle not accelerate. This problem could possibly cause an accident but has yet to affect the driving of the vehicle. *tr

Left front tire was found flat - spare put on and flat tire was taken to firestone dealer at 5110 west saginaw in lansing, mi - tire had a split running completely around the inside sidewall, the other three tires had the same split running completely around the tire - the dealer stated that the tires were unsafe and recommended that they be replaced - the tires all had 8/32 tread remaining. I feel you should take a look at all the tires made at the decatur plant - also i contacted firestone several time right after i purchased these tires to try and find out want the proper inflation was for these tires on my bronco and none of the people i talked to could tell me what the proper pressure should be so i ran them at the pressures recommended for the stock tires. I feel that these tires should have been replaced at no cost to me, but the only chioce i was give was warranty replacement where i had to still pay a prorated price for the replacement tires.( dot number: vdyk6ta057 tire size: 32x11.5r15 )

When driving vehicle stalled unexpectedly which may cause a crash. Dealer could not determine the problem. *ak tfi ignition module and startor failed. *yh
