  Still running - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By alphazu - October 5 - 8:30 am

  Bought vehicle new on no interest program. Had a few minor problems, all covered. At 79,000 left front hub failed. At 81,000 right front hub failed. Dealer repair on left for $550. I repaired right for $180. Watch brakes. Replaced at 80,000, needed new rotors all around. Was told at each inspection that they were getting close. They did not check the inside pads which were worn much more than outer. Should have replaced between 60-70,000. Sun roof track disintegrated in year 6 but still works. Will try to get 80-100,000 more miles.

  suv for the older couple - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By jenmilcat - August 28 - 10:00 am

  This is a good all purpose vehicle for the older couple who want something other than a van or car. This vehicle handles well and has four wheel disc brakes for added safety. This vehicle handles well in traffic and parks easily in crouded parking lots.

  By Sheri - August 25 - 10:00 am

  The Oldsmobile Bravada is dependable, comfortable and wonderful for trips. We have enjoyed the luxury of this exceptional vehicle. I would buy another just like it any time.

  99 Bravada - 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By LJohnson - August 6 - 10:00 am

  I look forward to going anywhere in my Olds. It has decent pickup on the freeway. Ride is smooth for a SUV. Fuel economy is okay (it helps to look at my overhead computer, ie, instant gas mileage) if I keep my foot light. Styling is one of a kind. I have every option available. Perfect!

  Dad Sold Me a Lemon! - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Maeve - August 3 - 7:03 am

  I know he didnt mean to, but its been one headache after another with this one! Fuel injection, brake lines, fuel lines, alternator, ball joints and the transfer case may be next - all with less than 50,000 miles on it (I work close to home and dont take lots of trips so the mileage on this is EXCEPTIONALLY LOW)! When its running properly, it IS fun to drive, it makes New England winters a breeze in the snow and ice. Thank Goddess I live next door to my auto mechanic, Ive been keeping him very busy. My only hope at this point is "Bank of Dad" will "write off" the loan on this vehicle till hes ready to sell me his new Cadillac!

  2nd Bravada - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Bill Gerber - July 22 - 2:00 am

  With minor issues, i.e. mirrors/radio, not working, dealer was clueless and treated me like I was stupid; what I was reporting as problems didnt exist. Car lost a piston -would not keep car. GM (Olds) would not help and dealer took me to the cleaners on trade in depreciation for another new Bravada; my course of least resistance. The newest Bravada has some of the same problems as the first; mirrors do not work properly in reverse mode; radio will not hold settings. My last GM car. Thank the lord Olds is going out of business. Nice vehicle but a piece of crap in my 2 Bravada experience.

  Unbelievably unreliable - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By BlueBravada - July 21 - 2:00 am

  Nice vehicle as far as comfort and ride, but unbelievable amount or repairs required. Right off the bat was sent letter from GM saying sorry, forget to line the piston cylinders, so engine may fail at any time. Warranty was extended on that engine part only, too bad it wasnt the entire car. Four wheel drive system has self activated and permanently locked four times, requiring an approx 2000 repair. Air shocks in rear deflated to the ground daily for years, but dealer couldnt diagnose (or "duplicate") the problem until the warranty expired (new air shocks- duh). Water pump died several times. Expensive bearing repair in front cost 2000. Auto mirrors had a mind of their own.

  Could have been designed better - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By NomoreGMs - July 11 - 10:00 am

  Bought this vehicle (for wife)used with 20k miles on it. Reportedly an off-lease vehicle. The vehicle is a gas hog. It gets slightly better mileage than my Quad-cab Doge Ram 1500 that weighs 4500 pounds. The Bravadas transmission gave out at 42000 miles. My wifes last GM had a transmission replaced at 30K miles and my last GMC Sierra had tranmission rebuilt at 37000 miles. The vehicle is underpowered. You have to floor-it to get out of your own way. With a little ingenuity, this car should have been GMs flagship. This car should have a V-8 rather than the 4.3 V-6. Climate control should have been digital - instead of knobs.
