1999 Oldsmobile Bravada review from North America
"It handles like a dump truck and has the get up and go of a stage coach"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has been the least reliable car I have ever owned.
I have put so much into maintaining this car and it's starting to get ridiculous. I am on my third transmission. Alternator went twice in one week. Numerous brake replacements. The fuel pump has gone at least three times (maybe more?).
Gas mileage has declined gradually since I bought the car.
The paint chips easily and the interior has worn poorly.
Overall I have been very dissatisfied by this vehicle.
General comments?
Overpriced, but fairly well equipped.
Very pricey to maintain as it breaks down often and gas mileage has declined.
