Bumper Problems of Oldsmobile Bravada

Front bumper design is dangerous. Gm indicated to me that the clearance of the truck's plastic bumper is eight inches. Bumper fell off backing out of 6-8" of snow on driveway surface. Dangerous driving on winter roads with low front bumper clearance. Other: transmission vibration. Evident when vehicle puchased on 8/29/02. Awd light appeared on and off began Dec. 25, 2002. Dealer said awd light problem was resolved on January 7, 2003.

Consumer called complaining about having problems with the front bumper. Also stated that while pulling out of her drive way the front bumper fell off the vehicle with out the vehicle impacting any thing. Manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle has been design and build according to manufacturers rules and that they don't think it's something they should be worrying about.

While backing out of the driveway, the front bumper had fallen off. The all wheel drive light was intermittent, there was a vibration in the transmission when accelerating-(could not duplicate), and the service engine light soon had come on. Scc.

Tires are wearing uneven, cannot be balanced. Tires were replaced, shocks and struts replaced twice. Cv joint was replaced as well. Dealer is unable to remedy the problem. Oil leaking from front shock, shock was replaced. Banging noise on drivers side front when going over bumps. Strut was leaking and was replaced. Brakes failed while driving resulting in a rear end collison. Brake pdal feels mushy. Passenger side fog light out. Blown fog lamp bulb replaced. Replaced failed passenger front turn signal bulb. Driver and passenger power mirror will not move left or right. Mirror switch replaced. Front bumper cover is loose and rattles. Grinding, clunking and whining when going over bumps or making turns. Steering shaft replaced. Transmission leaking. Replaced rear main seal, removed 02 sensor and converter due to damage. Surging problem with the engine. Dealer could not duplicate.

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.

On 2-12-1999 my wife was struck from behind by another vehicle and driven into a semi during a whiteout on i94 near marshall, michigan. Auto-owners insurance decided to repair the vehicle over our objections since this involved completely rebuilding the vehicle and installing a new frame. The car was in the body shop 11 weeks and we took possession only when the insurance company said they would only guarantee to repair any future items. Our first noticable objection was that door gaps were 125% greater than others. This led us to inspect the rest of the car very carefully. The following items were of concern. I will only go into what I would consider safety items not cosmetics. Loud vibration which turned out to be hood latchs never secured (this bothered me since it was indicative of other possible flaws from being completely rebuilt by hand. "grabbing" during tight turns - was repaired twice under bulletin 86-74-02 for "launch shudder" - our steering problem is not during takeoff but only the tight turns. The instruments occassionally go wacko and give false readings particularly the overhead. The airbags did not deploy in a crash that destroyed the frame. From all I have read tjhis could reoccur in a future collision and perhaps the inverse could occur and premature deployment result. Both the insurance company and the body shop(olds dealership) have given me letter assuring me they will fix any future defects but not guaranteeing they not occur. Rob the agent at les.
