| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased my 1998 bravada 4/02 and since then have had nothing but problems. the upper and lower ball joints have been replaced twice (they were replaced and approx 2 weeks later i was having the same problems again and i was told the parts were "faulty"). i had the same problems with the brakes--had them fixed , then had problems again,took it back and again it was blamed on "faulty" parts. the brakes still squeak badly, so i'm sure i will hear again that i had "faulty" parts. the tread on the front tires wore unevenly (they were pro-rated 80,000 mile tires and after less than 3,000 miles the inner edges were completly bald). so of course, the tires were supposedly "faulty". the ignition module goes out every 6 months with out fail. the ignition will stick in the lock position and the key cannot be removed unless you force it which results in the bravada being able to be started without the key. i was told there was a memo put out on this part, but no recall. these are only the repairs that have had to be repeatedly done. i am really begining to wonder if maybe the truck is "faulty" and not the parts. also, i refuse to take the truck to the olds dealership. i think there moto is "it isn't our problem", and if it isn't, maybe it should be because they say it enough. and lets be honest--yes oldsmobile, it is your problem. you maufactured these vehicles and now many, many people are paying for them. maybe they should stand up and actaully start taking responsibility for it. anyone else agree?*ak |
