1998 Oldsmobile Bravada review from North America
"This vehicle is nothing but a money pit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have a 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada, that I wished I never bought. I bought this vehicle used with 75,000 miles on it. I bought it from a used car dealer in the neighborhood I live in. I paid over $10,000 for this vehicle, and it was like I threw my money in the garbage. The first week I owned the Bravada the transmission went. In total the transmission went three times. However, it was under the dealers 90 day warranty. He had paid $2,000 each time the transmission went. Shortly there after the water pump went. Then I had got an oil leak from the oil pan and the main seal. Shortly there after electrical wiring for the radio went. The compressor for the air conditioning system went. The final thing that took the cake was the transfer case started to leak and idiot light came on for transmission. I can give you a list of new parts that have been put into this wonderful Oldsmobile Bravada, but the list would be too long. If you are thinking about getting an Oldsmobile, I would think again. That is unless you love fixing cars.
General comments?
I will never buy an Oldsmobile again!
