Review 2 of 79

Price Paid:  $0.00

Year / Model Reviewed:
2002 Oldsmobile bravada

Summary:
I bought the vehicle used with 47K on it. I owned it for 8 months before it started going downhill. First, changed transfer case fluid ($280), replace several lights, fuel pump(which left me stranded on I-80, $115), replaced something with the suspension $250), have had problems putting it in gear from park, clicking in my dash, which we don't know what it is, now..I am replacing the transfer case fluid for the second time after 8 months. It seems to me like this bravada is a money pit.

Strengths:
Looks nice, rides great, has everything you want in a vehicle as far a features. Love the heated seats.

Weaknesses:
Doesn't shift all that great, don't trust the AWD.

Review 4 of 79

Price Paid:  $50000.00 from Applewood Chevrolet

Year / Model Reviewed:
2002 Oldsmobile Bravada

Summary:
Truly the worst 4X4 we have ever owned. The problems started from day 1 and so far this truck has cost us a fortune repairing GM's defective parts. Of the $3,000 paid out so far they have all been due to lack of quality parts and GM will not acknowledge any responsibility or provide even partial compensation. We have under 60,000 miles on the vehicle and we have spent more on this than all the import cars and truck we have owned in the past 15 years.

Strengths:
We have not found any

Weaknesses:
poor engineering, cheap parts, completely unreliable

Review 5 of 79

Price Paid:  $6300.00 from Third-tier dealer

Year / Model Reviewed:
1999 Oldsmobile Bravada

Summary:
So far I really like the Bravada. I bought it with a little over 81,000 miles for $6300! Naturally, it had the famous transfer case shudder, so I had both the filter and Auto Trak fluid replaced. Seems the transfer cases were sealed shut with a silicon caulking that breaks off over time and gums up the filter. Now works entirely fine. Also replaced the alternator, right front wheel bearing, lower ball joints and serpentine belt...all covered by the warranty I purchased! I've read lotsa bad news on the Bravada, along with all other GM cars from the recent past....that's why you wait a few years and get them for $6300! In return for the low payments, you'll have to put up with repairs. My Bravada was $33,000 new...the $27,000 I saved will pay for a lot of repairs!!!!

Strengths:
Great acceleration, ride, handling and looks.

Weaknesses:
Overly-complex electrical and mechanical systems set you up for the fall later. But isn't that all American-made vehicles these days? The key is to either buy a Bravada with high miles so you get it cheap and all the big repairs have already been made, or buy an expensive one and put less than 30-40,000 miles on it and sell it before something big DOES happen.
