2000 Oldsmobile Bravada review from North America
"The doors are going to fall off again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had my share of problems. Don't care for GM much after this 2000 bravada. My BIGGEST complaint is the front door hinge pins. The doors are sooo heavy they start sagging and after a while your latches don't line up. Had mine done at 40k and now are needing it again at 72k. What a joke-$250/300 for the set of front doors.
I have been through the jerky reverse driving (fixed with case change oil), lukewarm heater (fixed with a new thermostat, & coolant flush & heater core reverse flush) Blower motor noisy (fixed under warranty), ball joints went out 60k, wheel hub also went out same time, and the relay clicking like the turn signal was on all the time was a special treat (steering column switch if I remember right)
General comments?
It's a fun car to drive. I like it because you never have to switch 4 wheel drive on, its instant when you need it. Smarttrack! Good for the wife.
