Purchased 96 grand am in 98 found it to be wrecked after i traded in 02 for old's bravada with mileage roll back at bad dealership multiple problems several wrecks due to manufactures defect let go back to gmac financing because bad dealers could finance bad deals through them. Please contact me asap!!!!!
I have a 2000 model year oldsmobile bravada.yesterday the warning indicator light for the airbag came on and stayed on.i looked in the owners manual which indicated this should be checked immediately by a gm dealer.i took the vehicle into the dealership first thing this morning and they indicated the "airbag module" unit (an electronic component) had failed and would need to be replaced.i am extremely concerned by the failure for no reason of a critical safety component on my vehicle since until it is fixed, the airbags will not work and this defective safety feature places me and passengers at risk.i complained to gm but they did not seem concerned and could not give me the name of a government agency to contact to register a complaint.i believe this issue is more widespread than just my vehicle, is a major safety concern to other car owners with this same airbag module and should be investigated to initiate a recall of this defective part.
The vehicle stalled without warning.the dealer indicated that thisproblem was caused by electrical problem, but they could not locate it.the failure recurred while driving and resulted in an accident.*nlm
4 batteries have been replaced during the first 25000 miles, dealer has had to reload data that is missing, vehicle sometimes loses power to a number of systems, headlights inoperative, electronic compass malfunctions, the radio operates erratically, the dome lights dont turn off, the vehicle security system activates for no reason, the power door locks will not open electrically, the computer codes have been checked, parts have been replaced but the problem exists.nlm
Continual electrical problems with oldsmobile bravada.the head lamp failure was recurrent.they would go off and stay off for 30 minutes then come back on for a minute to a half an hour, then work intermittently through out the day, the battery went dead, the compass unit failednumerous times. *sc
A recall for other vehicles but not mine. Left breaklight doesn't light up, till you move and down the turnsignal lever. Then the left break light lights up. So why isn't my model in this recall ? i found this on a bravada thread and lots of auto parts stores selling the part for it.
2000 oldsmobile bravada began smoking in the rear of the vehicle.the vehicle was damaged from the driver's door on back.both rear tires and rims melted.fire dept could not determine what caused the fire.no injuries were sustained.
2000 oldsmobile bravadawhen engine was turned off all electrical features in car died, including power door looks. The manual release mechanism forthe doors were also inoperative. They appeared to be held down by the door lock power circuit. This trapped the driver inside.police were called and they were unable to open the doors and confirmed that the driver was unable to use the manual release mechanism since it was also inoperative. They finally broke a window to release the driver.car was towed and it was discovered that the battery was dead. The battery was replaced and a full electrical check of the system was performed and the problem could not be reproduced. No reason was provided for the failure.the old battery is still accessible but i believe that the problem is somewhere in the computer circuits that kept the locks in the lock position until the batery failed.
Hazard switch interfering with turn signal operation - the right turn signal became inoperative - all bulbs lit up except for the right side marker light when the right turn signal was turned on; however, the marker light and all others that are supposed to flashed with the 4-way flashers.all bulbs and the flasher unit was replaced with negative results.during further examination on 9/23/11 when the flasher switch was jiggled the turn signal began working and then stopped but then worked again each time that the turn signal switch was jiggled. There has been a recall for a similar issue where the hazard switch interfered with the stop lamps - campaign id number: 08v231000. Two dealerships and oldsmobile were contacted regarding this and the answer was that there are no open recalls for this vehicle.one of them mentioned that a recall had been done in a year prior to 2008 which involved replacing the hazard switch.an oldsmobile rep stated that the 2008 recall only pertained to vehicles with certain vin numbers but could not confirm that the replacement hazard switch installed in a previous recall was not from the same stock as the switch installed in the vehicles that had the hazard switch replaced in the 2008 recall.
While driving with the cruise control on, vehicle suddenly accelerates and pulls to the right.vehicle has experienced electrical problems (consumer did not state specific problems).4-wheel drive illuminated.

Please contact me asap!!!!!
Whenever the doors are ajar & not fully shut, there is no warning chimes or lights to indicate this particular problem.
Dealer replaced horn system,owner's manual recommended to sound the horn, andpress center pads onsteering wheel. Consumer maintained that owner's manualdid not say that there was a special place to press center pads. However,on this vehicle therewas a specific place where the horn pads were located,and driver had to press veryhard.anothervehicle almost backed intoconsumer's vehicle, and consumer could do nothing, but sit there.
The horn on the steering wheel is too hard to presse, dealer tried to fix it, however the problem still exists.
A blown fuse caused them brake to feel mushy and consumer could not get the shift lever out of park, wire pinched in left motor mount when engine rocks causing fuse to blow.nlm
The wiring harness in our 2000, oldsmobile bravada caught fire.it appears as though it chfed through and shorted.the chafing occurred where the harness was bent over the a/c return (?).it appears to be a design flaw.vehicle was towed and is back with dealer where we purchased.
Wire which goes to fuse got pinched together, causing it to rub againstand wear out, causing a short to the fuse which resulted in vehicle stalling unexpectedly. Vehicle was unable to restart.happened 2 times. The first timedealer reroutted the wire and change fuse, but the problem reoccurred.the fuse need to be change again.please provide further information.

While driving at any speed, the vehicle lost power. The vehicle also lost power when turning corners and then started again.*scc
I have noticed in 2003 that on trips of 2 hours or more that our bravada will stall and i'll pull over for 5-10 minutes letting it rest and then will start it back up and then another 1/2 hour down the road it will stall again.most noticeably this happened to me on december 27, 2003 during a road trip back from virginia to georgia where the vehicle stalled 5 times.this was very frustrating and takes away my confidence to take this vehicle on long trips. *la
2000 bravada is leaking oil. *mr the oil was leaking from the front of the engine each time the oil and filter was replaced.the problem was diagnosed as the oil cooler hose (p/n 15194578 pipe and 15194579 hose) leaking. *sc
Consumer is concerned about possible vehicle fire due to the oil leak.

I have had many mechanical problems with my vehicle since the day i purchased it (new!). I have had several occasions where the oxygen snesor was bad, i currently have a problem with the dome override switch. If i have it activated, pushed in, it will cause my lights to stay on and also causes my personal alarm (like the one on my remote keyless entry) to go off quite often. When the dome override is disengaged, all seems fine. The most recent issue that i have is with the heating system. This one's a winner, especially because this is winter and snow and freezing temperature season, here in the northeast. I have little or no heat. I drive an average of 110 miles per day. We have flushed the system, replaced the thermostat and i am lucky to have heated seats, because i'd probably have hypothermia by the time i got to work if i didn't. I have owned three other olds bravadas and i have stood by them, happy with everything the vehicle had to offer. After this one is paid off, i strongly doubt that i will even look at purchasing a gm vehicle again!
The catalytic converter element is broken inside causing rattling. Car has been on road four yearsin november 2004.general motors and dealer stated there is no defect, this is normal.cost of repairs estimated between $750 and $1,000.believe this is not normal and is a manufacture defect. Previous owned gm cars owned have in excess of 150,000 with original exhaust components.

I purchased a used 2000 oldsmobile bravada in june 2008. The vehicle passed state required inspection with no issues. On 9/19/08 the stop lamps unexpectedly blew all four bulbs and the stop lamps now do not work at all even with new bulbs installed. Upon doing internet search for causes and repair solutions, i found that there had been a recall in 2001 regarding stop lamp/hazard flasher switch failures. I called a local dealer and they informed me that the hazard flasher switch had been replaced during the first recall and they could not do the repair again, however, i also found that a new recall had been issued in 2008 for the same issue. I have replaced the bulbs and stop lamp switch with no resolution to the failure of the stop lamps. The dealership says it will cost me $100 to get the wiring checked and i will be responsible for the cost of repairs. If this is an ongoing issue with the lighting i believe that the testing should be at no cost. Failure of the stop lamps puts my family at serious risk of injury if vehicles behind me are not able to know that i am stopping. The highmount lights,flashers,back up lights and turn signals are not affected...only the lower stop lamps. I also have an issue with multi function turn signal switch being loose on steering column. I have purchased the part but have not had it installed as of the date of this letter. When engaging the switch to make a right turn the windshield wipers come on. This only happens when making a right turn.
A recall for other vehicles but not mine. Left breaklight doesn't light up, till you move and down the turnsignal lever. Then the left break light lights up. So why isn't my model in this recall ? i found this on a bravada thread and lots of auto parts stores selling the part for it.

This is second failure of this brake light "module"
I recently purchased a my2000 oldsmobile bravada from a private party.upon driving the vehicle home, i realized that the brake lights did not function.upon further investigation, i found that the hazard flashers also did not work.i found a recall notice on the nhtsa website which covers this vehicle, which describes the malfunction perfectly.upon contacting the oldsmobile division of general motors, i was told by the customer service representative that the vehicle in question had been repaired in 2001 as required by the recall campaign.when i informed the individual that the vehicle again had the same malfunction, i was told that since gm had satisfied the requirement to repair the vehicle already, it would be my responsibility to take it to a dealer and have it repaired at my cost.my concern is that there are likely others who have had the same problem repaired by a gm dealer, and are unaware that the problem exists again with their.driving a vehicle without brake lights is extremely dangerous.i strongly believe that this needs to be looked at again, as the 'fix' performed did not cure the problem long term.
Vehicle has no brake lights or signal lights.dealership is aware ofproblem.also,multi switch needs to be replaced.
The contact owns a 2000 oldsmobile bravada. The rear brake lights failed which made it difficult for another driver to know that the vehicle was braking and/or stopped which could avoid a crash. The dealer repaired the vehicle according to recall #08v231000 (exterior lighting:brake lights:switch). The contact was responsible for paying $372.00 for the repair. The manufacturer stated that he should not have paid for the repair and they would reimburse him; however, shortly afterwards a representative denied reimbursement stating that his vehicle was excluded in the recall. The contact has not received a reimbursement. The failure mileage was 75,008 and the current mileage was 75,667.
Brake light switch had to be replaced 3 times.at this time switch has failed again.
The fiberclass cover on the front bumper assembly does not fit properly. The cover vibrates approximately one half inch in an up and down direction. The fog lights are attached to this cover also, and vibrate with it. Contacts with the dealer and manufacturer have produced no solutions to this problem. I was told by two different dealers that "all 2000 bravadas are built like that". The oldsmobile complaint line suggested that i inform you of the problem. Since it is a manufacturers defect and will probably not cause a fatal accident i figure you will file this complaint in the big round circular file. Thanks.

- the contact stated that 2000 oldsmobile bravadaswere recalled under notice 01v364006, but his vehicle's vin was not included.the contact stated that the flashers, brake lights and turn signalsdidnot work due to same failure that was stated in recall 01v364006.the vehicle has not been repaired as of yet.the failure and current mileage were both64,000. The consumer vehicle was not included in the recall.updated 04/09/07.
The consumer experienced the same problemas stated inrecall 01v364000concerning multi function switch.the dealership would not repair the problem free of charge because the vin was not included.*sc

I own a 2000 olds bravada suv, i recently had a problam with my turn signals and took the back to the dealership for repair. They said i had a short in the switch and repaired it.i paid the bill. When i got home i started some research on the internet.the part number 26100837 switch (turn signal / hazard switch) appears to be the same part that was listed in a recall notice fromgm by the national highway safety admin. My question is , is this the same part, and should i have to pay for a recalled item?

. The contact owns a 2000 oldsmobile bravada. The contact stated that the fuel gauges on the instrument control paneldisplays inaccurate readings of the amount of fuel inside of the fuel tank. As a consequence his risk for vehicle crash increases should the vehicle unexpectedly stall because of depleted fuel levels.the vehicle has not been inspected to determine the cause of the failure. The current and failure mileages were 48,000.

I just purchased my 2000 bravada in december of 2002 and it had less than 25,000 miles on it.i do not do heavy driving, mostly open road and no towing, and was very surprised when all of a sudden my transmission went out two months and 1,700 miles after the power train warranty expired.when i called the dealership and talked to the repair person he knew what was wrong even before i told him (the reverse and overdrive went out but the other drives were fine) and he said that this was a common problem with bravadas.imagine my surprise!then oldsmobile indicated they would only pay for 50% of the repair. I am currently trying to work with them to cover it all because it is obviously a defect in the transmission and is not an isolated incident.i hadn't heard anything about this, but now that i look on the internet there are quite a few people who have had similar problems.the company should be taking care of this.

Brake rotor failure after a little over 40,000 miles my brakes started pulsating and i had, at best, 60% of the normal braking power.braking is so poor that abs won't activate even with full braking action.i removed the pads and rotors only to find that the rotors were disintegrating.apparently, on many models including the 2000 bravada such as mine, gm is using a bi-metal rotor.after 30,000 miles of braking the heat will eventually cause separation of the two metals and flaking of the surface of the rotor along with abnormal rusting and pitting on the rotor surface.i have read several reviews posted on edmunds.com stating the same problem.gm customer service denies any problem as well as any other complaints and is unwilling to fix it.*la
Vehicle had bad pulsation in brake pedal and whole vehicle vibrated when braking, dealer said front rotors were warped, replaced front rotors w/ 46,900 mi, still had small vibration and w/in 2weekspulsation started again and continued to get worse, took to another mechanic who said front rotors were warped again, back rotors are literally disintegrating.i have 132,000mi on my nissan and have never had warped rotors or had rotors replaced so i know it's not my driving.*nlm
Front right tire separated from the vehicle while in motion.two weeks ago brakes and rotors were changed. Mechanic stated there was a defect with the lugs: nuts. Please provide any further information.

Drivers side front ball joint broke while driving in the rain, car slid, i did manage to miss the semi's tires the car was headed for. After checking the ntsa web page i find that there have been other complaints/recals on the ball joint and suspension system, i have never received any information reguarding this. I did pay dearly to have the one set of ball joint repaired. Is the recall still avaliable for the rest of the ball joints and the suspension system. My car only has 38k miles on it and is falling apart. Please help.
Upper left ball joint broke while driving at 20 mph causing left front tire tofall off.
Right upper balljoint broke while driving around 20 miles per hour. I turned a corner going slow and felt a bump. The steering wheel was not turned staight, but the bravada was going straight.
Bad shock on front passenger side
I bought a used car from the dealer, but the car has a problem. The salesman who soldme the car at the dealer told me that they were going to fix it and they tried to fix it 4 times already. After 4 tries the problem is still there. I think they are waiting for the 30 day guarantee to end before i do anything about it, so then i need to pay for the repairs myself. They keep telling that the car is fixed, but the problem is still there. I can feel the problem every time i drive, and they admit that they can feel it as well, when they test drive the car.
Rear end needs an over hauling,including bearings and pins etc. Contacted dealer, and the dealer was not willing to do anything. Please provide further information.
