1998 Oldsmobile Bravada review from North America
"Money Pit on Wheels"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went out at 71,000 miles and dealer says that they know there was a defect with the transmission, but they will not cover the cost for the repair.
Windshield Wiper problems.
Headlights not working.
AWD problems.
Cooling system problems.
Control arm & ball joint problems.
And the list just goes on & on.
General comments?
Everyone that has had problems with Blazer, Jimmy, & Bravada needs to file a complaint with www.nhtsa.dot.gov Don't let GM get away with this. Some of these problems should have been recalled.
