  Needs some help - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Douglas Jones - September 9 - 2:00 am

  We replaced our 93 Jeep Grand Cheeroke with this in late 2001. Its a nice looking car and rides nice, but we really an SUV that can handle offroad. The tilting rear view mirrors never return to the correct spot even after having the dealer fix them. Both seats have completely stopped working at least once. The front end is all weak plastic. I hit a deer at less then 5 MPH and did $2500 woth of damage. Off road/snow driving with the stock Michelins isnt better then may front wheel drive Taurus. Cant even go 300 miles on a tank of gas. It is very comfortable but its just not the SUV we hoped. Well probably take a bath and go back to a Jeep.

  Lemon - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Craig L. in IL - August 26 - 2:00 am

  My 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.

  Absolute Junk - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By X Bravada Owner - July 9 - 2:00 am

  I have owned over 40 vehicles, including 3 Bravadas. This is absolutely the worst vehicle I have ever owned. I bought it used with 8K miles on it and drove it for a year. I had nothing but trouble with it from day one, when the fiberglass fan disintegrated and took out the radiator. Little did I realize that this was the just the start of a long and meaningful relationship with my GM service department. Fortunately my dealer thought we were seeing a little too much of each other and worked with me to make me a fair deal on a Buick Rendezvous (great vehicle). I can see why GM dumped the line.

  Lemon of all time - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By robert sachs - July 7 - 7:00 pm

  I have owned quite a few vehicles over the years. I used to be a hard line GM man. But due to this lemon, I am now considering something other than GM. The Bravada has cost me more in repairs than all the vehicles combined I have owned, in excess of $4000. I have fixed or repaired almost every thing you can imagine. You just finish having something fixed and something else breaks down. It is justice that the Big Three go down. As much as I hate to say it, if you build junk eventially the consumer will have his day. Goodbye GM

  run away from this suv - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Cindy - June 28 - 8:36 am

  Bought this suv in 2004 with very little mileage I have had nothing but problems with it.. The idle arms have been replaced more than once very hard on the wheel barrings. I keep good maintenance but this was a lemon. I had to replace the door hinges and it cost me $1200 alone for that. The transmission going now... Have a short in the dash inside lights on dash when they want. My gas gauge also works when it wants to, the 4 wheel is going out of it. It would be easier to list what does work and what doesnt work or has needed replaced. My mechanic told me to get rid of it 2 years ago I had so much into it I thought for sure it would be ok I should of listened to him this suv is bad...

  Great if only it was reliable - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By jkane - March 21 - 10:00 am

  have my bravada nine months, three times had vehicle towed to dealership after engine and all power lost while driving along. FIRST, change wheel-speed sensor; SECOND, gave me new engine; THIRD, told me could not find anything wrong;. Next stop, Trade-in unless Oldsmobile/GM can rectify my problem
