POWER TRAIN
I JUST PURCHASED MY 2000 BRAVADA IN DECEMBER OF 2002 AND IT HAD LESS THAN 25,000 MILES ON IT. I DO NOT DO HEAVY DRIVING, MOSTLY OPEN ROAD AND NO TOWING, AND WAS VERY SURPRISED WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT TWO MONTHS AND 1,700 MILES AFTER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TALKED TO THE REPAIR PERSON HE KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG EVEN BEFORE I TOLD HIM (THE REVERSE AND OVERDRIVE WENT OUT BUT THE OTHER DRIVES WERE FINE) AND HE SAID THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH BRAVADAS. IMAGINE MY SURPRISE! THEN OLDSMOBILE INDICATED THEY WOULD ONLY PAY FOR 50% OF THE REPAIR. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO WORK WITH THEM TO COVER IT ALL BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION AND IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, BUT NOW THAT I LOOK ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE COMPANY SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THIS.
