  Dont Buy It - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Jery - October 22 - 5:20 am

  Bought the vehicle for my wife with 36,000 miles on it, and all I can say is thank God for the extended warranty. The all wheel drive started acting up soon after we got it. I have had to replace the whole front end, rear leaf springs, differential seals, crank seals, and they still cant figure out what is wrong with the electrical system or the A/C system. I have always been a GM guy but I must say if they keep building them like this I may have to switch. Looking forward to getting rid of this lemon. Take my word on this dont ever buy one of these SUVs. This thing also sucks down the gas, I get better economy out of my full size pick up truck.

  Poor Quality Brakes & Poor Customer Svc - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By jetpilot - September 19 - 10:00 am

  My Vehicle has just over 40,000 as well as a friends 2000 Bravada and we both have to replace brake rotors that are decintegrating. GM used poor quality bi-metal brake rotors that quickly rust in between metal layers causing the outer layers to separate and bad pulsing in the brakes. This rotors come from factory at their minimum thickness and can not be turned. Customer service denies any problem and totally unwilling to assist. Just ask your local Midas how many theyve seen.

  Worst car ever! - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Greg - April 6 - 7:53 am

  This has been the worst car Ive ever owned. Im finally getting rid of it and going back to foreign. I seem to have to get it to the shop every month for work. To date, I think Ive put about $6-7k into it to keep it running and it still wont run right. Wants to hesitate and die when I give it gas, and you cant floor it or it dies completely. GM should be ashamed for producing garbage like this.

  By sjf - August 18 - 2:00 am

  70000 easy miles and Ive replaced the fuel pump, alternator, tensioner belt, both front wheel bearings, ball joints, oil cooler lines, stereo speakers and now the transmission is slipping. This vehicle has never towed anything.

  Glad to still be alive - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Sam - January 26 - 6:23 am

  I owned this car for one year, lost brakes and ended in a ditch. The car had 70000 miles only. Checked the car. The frame was corroded. Factory undercoating was ridiculous and was not existing anymore (thinner than onion skin). The brake lines were badly corroded, and broken under the rear, driver side door, over the frame and below the cabin. Totaled the car.

  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.

  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.

  2002 Bravada - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Fritz - June 15 - 3:20 am

  Bought this vehicle with 35,000 miles on it, so called Certified used vehicle, have had it less than 2 months, back to the shop because windshield wipers quit working, week later power mirrors that automatically adjust quit working. Funny thing is these 2 problems were supposed to be recalls, why didnt the dealer fix this on there so called certified car. Now transmission is going out, going back to the shop again. Im fed up, how can you depend on a car like this, course it only cost $19,000! I have bought $500 cars that were more debendable than this.

  Peice Of Crap - 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By bravadahtr - October 23 - 7:20 pm

  I hate this car! I have had so many problems..... Transfer case motor went 3x, brought it back to dealer, turn signal didnt work. Bad ground, The front differential seized up and stopped me dead in the road. Had to flatbed it back to the dealer.The replacement costed $2,000. Sway bar links went bad in the front and back.replaced the back ones. Fronts still need to be replaced. The cam shaft positioning sensor went bad making the check engine light come on.That needed to be replaced along with two tires, tie rod end, and a thermostat housing to pass inspect. $600 for that. Now the trans. is slipping, pass wheel bearing going bad, front breaks are bad, and theres a strange rattle underneath.
