The contact owns a 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada. The contact heard a loud noise coming from the muffler. When the vehicle was inspected by a mechanic, he was informed that the transmission mount cross member of the frame was rotted and ready to break loose. The current and failure mileages were 85,000. Updated 09/23/08 the consumer also stated there was a gasket leak in the exhaust. Updated 09/25/08.
The hinges on the driver side doors were deteriorating. Which made the doors difficult to close. The dealer have informed the consumer that all five doors will experience the same problem. Manufacturer is aware of the problem.
The fiberclass cover on the front bumper assembly does not fit properly. The cover vibrates approximately one half inch in an up and down direction. The fog lights are attached to this cover also, and vibrate with it. Contacts with the dealer and manufacturer have produced no solutions to this problem. I was told by two different dealers that "all 2000 Bravadas are built like that". The Oldsmobile complaint line suggested that I inform you of the problem. Since it is a manufacturers defect and will probably not cause a fatal accident I figure you will file this complaint in the big round circular file. Thanks.
