Two problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Approximately 10 times in the past 2 years the brakes have not operated or operated at a very minimal amount. It appears to be at low speed when first starting car out. I usually back out of the driveway. I stop with no problem. Then drive less than one block on a side street at approximately 25 mph. I put on the brakes and they barely engage. I push the pedal to the floor but it does nothing. I try to give myself as much assured distance as possible and have been very lucky I have not hit anyone yet. I have come "real " close and have had to swerve to miss cars. . No warning lights go off on the dashboard. I have taken my car into reliable in January 1999, October 20, 2000. Olds hot line requested that I take it to another dealer and I took it to earl Oldsmobile in brookpark, ohio. Neither could dupicate the problem and refused to fix. When I called the Oldsmobile help line(1-800-442-6537 tracking # c02031344) they repeated the same statement and refused to give me anyone elses phone# at Oldsmobile or general motors. Everyone seems to have absolutely no regard for safety or human life. When I asked jim ober of reliable Oldsmobile " what if I kill a small child who steps in front of me and I can not stop. " his response was a flippant " people die in automobile accidents all the time. " I am not that concerned for the safety of myself, my car , or someone elses car. This problem currently happens at very low speeds and I probably would not have a serious accident with 2 cars hitting each other. . My #1 fear is if a pedestrian steps in front of me. Please help I have tried everything I can think of. It does not appear like anyone at oldsbmobile cares.
Due to defective electrical problems windows went up and down/ headlights malfunctioned, and braking system malfunctioned, causing a crash. Also, while driving battery cable fell apart which caused the vehicle to stall unexpectedly which may have caused a crash.
