1 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada

Failure Date: 09/14/2020

A recall for other vehicles but not mine. Left breaklight doesn't light up, till you move and down the turnsignal lever. Then the left break light lights up. So why isn't my model in this recall ? I found this on a Bravada thread and lots of auto parts stores selling the part for it.

There is a crack in my exhaust manifold, is there a recall or a extended coverage. Also the head lights are shutting off while driving especially at night.

3 Exterior Lighting problem of the 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada

Failure Date: 03/09/2007

I purchased a used 1998 olds Bravada. It has been an ok car except. The heater/air conditioner doesn't work properly. My dealer says you have to switch it back and forth from heat to cool in the dash somewhere (my question was, what is the thermostat button for then???). Also, the transmission or motor at 3000 rpms cuts out bad and jumps and could cause an accident if you are in the passing zone when this happens. Also, the dimmer switch doesn't work anymore. The windshield wipers do and the signals do but not the dimmer??.

4 Exterior Lighting problem of the 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada

Failure Date: 06/13/2006

Vehicle has a complete loss of power while driving. It happens numerous times without warning while driving to work 3rd shift 55-60 mph on a country road. . . Vehicle would suddenly shut down. With no lights, power steering, ect. . . I would have to try and pull over in the pitch black of night. After about 20 minutes it would start back up and on I would go, praying it wouldn't happen at the curves. After a couple of years of this and nobody having any answers, my husband discovered it is a connector in the steering column that gets corroded and he has to clean it. As long as we clean the corrosion off of the connector about twice a year, the vehicle does fine.

5 Exterior Lighting problem of the 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada

Failure Date: 11/15/2003

The heater has failed to work this year at all. The system was flushed and radiator fluid changed with Oldsmobile rated fluids. This vehicle has had no major problems and has been good other than seatbelts not locking and dome lights are inoperable. I am going to assume it could be the heater valve and get that replaced so hopefully that does the trick.
