1998 Oldsmobile Bravada from North America - Comments

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.

I will never buy an Oldsmobile again!

I too have 98 olds bravada and it too is a pile of junk. I have replaced the lower intake gasket twice, shorted out electrical system, a water pump, oil coolent lines a whole compressor unit for the air comdition, the turn signal twice and there is only 60,000 miles on it. Wonder why GM is no longer no.1 Never will own a GM anything again.

As I write this comment today my Oldsmobile Bravada is at the mechanic. I also have a 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada. This time it is the Gasket which causes the SUV to overheat. Before this time it was a cracked radiator, A/C went out twice, one of my side mirrors just fell off because the plastic holding it together just was to flimsy, and about an extra $900 in little other things. it only has 88,000 miles and I can't get the taste of lemon out of my mouth. Another thing when you tell people what type of car you have an you say "Oldmobile Bravada" they have a look on there face as you have just spoken a foreign language.
