  Luv my Olds - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By luv my olds - September 20 - 10:00 am

  Super vehicle, runs great, looks great, all the toys, and I received 5 years 100,000 km warranty - a nice bonus compared to GMs anemic usual 3 year 60,000 km.

  2002 Bravada Problems - 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Bikehawk47 - August 8 - 10:00 am

  We have had numerous quality problems. The dealer has yet to fix one on the first trip. One problem was that the "brake" lite on the dash came on while driving. It would only go off if we turned the car off. After 3 trips a short was finally found We also have twice replaced the plastic molding around the drivers inside door handleand it still keeps popping out in the matter of 3 days, we had the drivers power seat track break and the fuel guage stop working The vehicle got so far out of alignment that the front tires were ruined. The access door to the oil filter has broken.

  Lemon - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Former GM customer - July 27 - 2:00 am

  Worst vehicle Ive ever bought. GM just repurchased it..... after I got an attorney. In the shop on a regular basis. Transfer case shutter, transmission replaced, front end noise, light out on instrument panel, leak in back liftgate, almost had an accident because it didnt accelerate due to transmission problems. It was nice..... when it worked. Horrible build quality. Have always bought GM until now. Just replaced this with a Toyota. Doubt Ill ever buy GM again.

  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.

  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.

  Good Old Truck - 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Jimmy1 - June 10 - 11:56 pm

  We brought this truck 11/01 using the 0% financing incentive. It was our 6th Oldsmobile and we still own 5 of them. It has serve me well with no major repairs until around 150k miles when the fan clutch started getting noisy. Now at 215k I have spent a total of $4,975 on repairs. Still using second set of tires and on original brakes. We keep it serviced and minor issues repaired, and I still use it everyday and not afraid to travel any distance in it. When it had 125k miles I towed a trailer loaded with a 1960 Ford 4x4 pick-up from northern California to St.Louis, MO with no incidents. Note: in order to replace one of the heaters you have to pull the transmission (thats dumb).

  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...

  Poor choice - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Lauralita - May 16 - 2:00 am

  I live near Lansing, MI where olds is touted as the king of GM... its the luxury priced mid- size SUV with luxury priced repair bills. Ive spent over $2000 in repairs. I still have to replace gas gauge sensor, weather stripping/seal. At 62,000 mi, the transmission was rebuit to the tune of over $1000, at my cost. Ive never been in an accident or in the ditch, yet had to replace both front wheel bearings. 3 months after the tranny went bad, yet another expensive gas fuel senser went bad.... sorry...but Ive had it with this one...poor investment for a $38,000 vehicle.

  The True Olds Bravada - 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada
  By Say NO to GM - May 14 - 10:00 am

  The Body integrity is very bad and the Auto is a gas guzzler. The SUV has very little acceleration ability.
