1997 Oldsmobile Bravada review from North America
"Pretty looking Garbage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Coolant turned to sludge and had to have my entire cooling system repaired at a cost of $2000.00 when there was only 50,000 miles on it. They claim the dex-cool which is supposed to last 150,000 miles was bad. After spending all this money, the coolant went bad again 10,000 miles later. At this point we got rid of the car. It also had many electrical problems and would just shut off for no reason.
General comments?
The Bravada is a very comfortable car, but unreliable. GM wouldn't help with the coolant problems even though many other bravada owners also had the same problems.
