Front control arm broke at the frame. There is a recall for this control arm issue for a 2002 Bravada but, my VIN was not included. 01v126000 is the NHTSA. The control arms fractured causing separation from the frame. Bravada is at service shop and they have confirmed the frame separation from control arm. This is very dangerous and has caused it to be unsafe and deadly.

Electronically controlled air suspension does not work. The ride is rough and bouncy. There is no suspension on the back end as a result which could cause a severe accident on the highway.
While going home the other day, it felt as though my shocks went out when I drove over a little bump. When I got home, the back end of my car had dropped. My car has approximately 74,000 miles. I took it to a garage and found that the air compressor in the back end had failed.

Experiencing a vibration when taking off from a stop or when turning right or left. The dealer changed the oil in the transfer case and the vibration was reduced.
This vehicle shudders on dry pavement. There is a problem with the all wheel drive system. Please see bulletin # 99-04-21-005 (this is on your website) we have had the vehicle in for service 4 times for this problem. They changed the fluid in the transfer case 3 different times, but the problem still persists. We have contacted Oldsmobile, with no results. Can you please help us, we don't know what to do next. The vehicle is still under factory warranty. Gm/ Oldsmobile refuses to replace the transfer case and the mechanic at pence Oldsmobile suggested this is what should be done to correct the problem.
Automobile shakes periodically. Has been taken to the dealership on numerous occasions, but the problem is still presistent. Dealership has not yet been able to find the exact cause of the problem.
The vehicle described pulls to the left or right depending on the lay of the road. It will not go straight at any time without applying correction with the steering wheel. I researched the "customer complaints" for the 1998 gm series (olds Bravada, GMC jimmy, chev blazer). The customer complaints are staggering. The trend on this safety issue is profound. Gm has a problem and so do the consumers. Have you picked up on this trend? are there studies? gm had a recall to re-torgue a steering linkage bolt. That's not the problem overall. It extends into newer models too. I think we need help before we have another firestone/Ford explorer like problem. Please investigate. Please advise on results. Thanks for helping because it is evident that gm is aware of the problem and has not fixed it. There are lots of failures, lots of crashes, lots of injuries, and I'm sure some loss of life. And I'm only seeing what has been reported to you. I would bet it is a very big problem. Thanks again. Don sellars.
I was hit in the rear quarter panel by a vw. The Bravada rolled twice. The vw was hardly damaged. I was accused of speeding while in fact I was not. The vehicle just rolled so easily. Is there a problem with these sports utility vehicles rolling?.
