| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The 1996 oldsmobile bravada contains a fuel injection system which can cause the poppet valves to lock-up. there was a completely redesigned system for the fuel injection system which does not have poppet valves. this redesign is the significant admission of this being a design flaw. the records of the company need to be examined to determine the number of problems. the mechanics which i have interviewed view this as a significant persistent and widespread problem. *jb |
