  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

  Perform maintenance and it will be fine - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By slik056 - February 22 - 9:00 pm

  Vehicle drives nice, some interior creaks from the back when off-roading. Purchased used with 66,000 miles, still running great. Maintain these like the owners manual says and it should last you a long time. You need to change transmission fluid at least every 50k miles, as stated in the manual. You also need to have the chassis greased every 10k or so to prevent front end repairs (balljoints, steering joints, etc.). Most people ignore the maintenance schedule, then complain when things break. Every GM vehicle I have owned has had over 200k and ran fine when I sold them, proper care of vehicles makes all the difference. Read and follow maintenance schedules!

  Helluva truck - 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Bravada Man - January 9 - 10:00 am

  I bought this truck used in 2000 and its only hit the mechanic twice. Once for brakes and calipers and the other for a sluggishness that was attributed to dirty fuel injectors (fixed with a $27 chemical that goes in the fuel tank). This car is my families only one and we love it. It has treated us great and its like driving a luxury car. Get one while you still can.

  Good Vehicle Drastically Improved - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Chris R - November 12 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle is much better than the 1996-2001 model. It truly has a luxury feel to it. I love my new Bravada.

  Best car I ever had - 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Jim - July 5 - 12:03 pm

  I love this car. I bought it used six years ago and it hasnt given me any trouble. I have replaced the ball joints and added freon to the air conditioner but thats about it. I love driving it around town and drive it to my lake cabin. Its a great hauler and I will keep it until it drops.

  1997 Olds Bravada - 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By AKlein - June 29 - 4:16 am

  Overall a great SUV. Worst part is the fuel consumption. Seem to get only about 22-24 mpg on highway. I have had lots of A/C problems and cant solve the problem even with repeated visits to dealership. Wipers also seem to choose when to stop working.

  Ugh - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Judy - June 4 - 10:00 am

  This bravada is my first SUV. Talked my husband out of the Acura MDX due to price/american made. I have logged many hours in the service dept. as well. Problems: Paint job (2x) due to snow/salt in New England, pass. window wont go back up, air leak in pass door. I have had an accident in this truck - airbags did NOT inflate. I am seriously considering trading in - 3 recalls already on truck, one they wont fix until it DIES for no apparent reason?? Shouldve gone foreign...

  Fun to Drive / Buy the Extended Warranty - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By SPL - May 6 - 10:26 pm

  I purchased the extended warranty that covered the vehicle for 75,000. It turned out to be a great investment due to several problems that occured after the 36,000 mile warranty. I like the vehicles appearance and the Smart Track all wheel drive is a blessing during Iowa winters.
