Used 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada SUV Consumer Reviews
Junk
Too many problem s!! Front axel replaced 3 times
Poor choice
I live near Lansing, MI where olds is touted as the king of GM... it's the luxury priced mid- size SUV with luxury priced repair bills. I've spent over $2000 in repairs. I still have to replace gas gauge sensor, weather stripping/seal. At 62,000 mi, the transmission was rebuit to the tune of over $1000, at my cost. I've never been in an accident or in the ditch, yet had to replace both front wheel bearings. 3 months after the tranny went bad, yet another expensive gas fuel senser went bad.... sorry...but I've had it with this one...poor investment for a $38,000 vehicle.

Dad's Work Horse
Beats all three Cadillacs I drove before. In fact it feels more like a Cadillac than they did. I like the "command" seating position. My wife loves the heated seats. A year ago when my mother moved into a nursing home we loaded as much of her stuff into a 12 foot UHall trailer and made the 400 mile trip home without incident. My only "complaint" is the gas mileage with the out of control price rise. In the city I get 16 on the road 21 which is about what I expected and considering what I am getting well worth the price. But the $2.25/gallon gas is getting me. We are driving my wife's 04 Impala and getting 31.25 mpg without holding back on the horses. Another Impala is looking attractive.
Love driving but it has many problems
I bought this truck as a family vehicle and it's not reliable at all. I bought the truck for 7 grand and I've replaced almost everything in it. The transmission went, then the gas pump, then the radiator and so on. I've had this truck for a 2 years now and I've driven it only probably 4 months
Could have been designed better
Bought this vehicle (for wife)used with 20k miles on it. Reportedly an off-lease vehicle. The vehicle is a gas hog. It gets slightly better mileage than my Quad-cab Doge Ram 1500 that weighs 4500 pounds. The Bravada's transmission gave out at 42000 miles. My wife's last GM had a transmission replaced at 30K miles and my last GMC Sierra had tranmission rebuilt at 37000 miles. The vehicle is underpowered. You have to floor-it to get out of your own way. With a little ingenuity, this car should have been GM's flagship. This car should have a V-8 rather than the 4.3 V-6. Climate control should have been digital - instead of knobs.
