1999 Oldsmobile Bravada S?UV review from North America
"OK, but I would not buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had some real problems with the lower ball joints, at 65000 miles I'm getting ready to put the 3rd set in, I will do this myself, I think I can do it as good as the dealer.
After about 5000 miles it developed a shake in the front end the dealer said there is nothing wrong, but after about 10,000 miles they changed the oil in the front differential and the problem went away. Gas mileage could be better, and the 1999 is under powered.
General comments?
Nice ride and it has never let me out on the road stranded, I have not any electrical problems and the AWD works well,
