2002 Oldsmobile Bravada review from North America
"Not a bad SUV - won't buy another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2 check engine lights 3000 miles
rear wiper broke 10000 miles
leaking differential 15000 miles
ball joint replaced 24000 miles
lower half of truck repainted twice 7000 miles and 27000 miles
mirrors never had memory - all miles.
General comments?
Overall, the truck has been great. My biggest complaint is the paint. My dealer has repainted twice - leaving me with no car or a rental for weeks at a time. Contacted Oldsmobile who claims it is not a design problem, but the environment in which I drive my car. I am planning on putting running boards on - apparently at my cost because Oldsmobile does not stand behind its vehicles. The truck has been in and out of the service garage roughly 10-15 times per year.
