Lemon - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
By Craig L. in IL - August 26 - 2:00 amMy wife and I purchased this vehicle for peace of mind. We were so wrong. In 1 1/2 years of ownership our Bravada has spent over 100 documented days in the service shop. Here is a list of our problems. Doors racked, bad A arm, bad heated sets, air and heat not working, replaced throttle body, worn weatherstrip, hesitation, bucking, bad transfer case control module affecting the AWD, fading rubber trim, replaced brake pads and rotors at 20,000 mi. You name it, it has happened to this vehicle. I will never buy another GM vehicle. We took our case to court and won. Dont be afraid to go for it if you have problems.

No More AJ (American Junk) - 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada
By NoMoreAJ - May 21 - 10:00 amWhen we bought the car the gas gauge didnt work. My wife found this out the 2nd day of ownership when the thing ran out of gas. The alternator went out. The front brake calipers froze. the fornt steering linkages all needed to be replaced. The ball joints went bad. Then the transmission started to go... And thats when the Bravada had to go. We traded it in for a 2003 Toyota Highlander. The Highlander is a beautiful car. The Bravada is the last American car I will ever buy. We have a 2002 mustang. We cant wait to unload that turkey before it lets go. The battle cry in our household is "NO MORE AJ (American Junk)" .

Stay away - 2001 Oldsmobile Bravada
By A real waste - April 1 - 3:03 amI bought this car new, at the time when olds was thinking of discontinuing the line. From year four (after the warranty - mileage over)to present, it has cost me $5K to $7K per year in repairs. It is a sink hole. Everything from not starting when it feels like it to not being able to turn the wheel without major vibrations. Everything was changed. I should have given up a long time ago.

Worst Vehicle Ever - 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada
By CarOwner - July 21 - 4:50 pmThis was the worst experience I have ever had with any vehicle. I had to replace the transmission at 56,000 miles, the alternator, serpentine belt, belt tensioner, brakes many times, major tune up at 60,000 miles, oxygen sensor, transfer case, complete air conditioning system, wiper motor, door hinge pins, many fuses, parts of the dash started falling off, idler arm, and last but not least an alighnment. I am sure I have forgotten something or many somethings. Please do not buy this vehicle, I lost so much money and it was so hard to resell due to its reputation. It is no wonder Oldsmobile is no more.

What a mistake - 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada
By Why oh why did I buy - December 11 - 1:00 pmThis vehicle represents the worst decision of my life. The Bravada rides bone-jarringly stiff, and cant handle rural Illinois roads. I thought it was just bad shocks, so I put on expensive ones. No improvement. Tried replacing bushings, ball joints, tires - nothing. The Bravada is just plain dangerous on bumpy, crowned rural highways. On a smooth, level highway, it tracked funny, hunting from side to side. Several mechanics claimed that the vehicle was fine... After three months of white knuckle driving, hanging on to the wheel for dear life at 40 mph, I gave up and sold the thing. Good riddance. A full size 4x4 gets the same horrible MPG, but can actually hold the road and tow something!
