2002 Oldsmobile Bravada engine problems

ENGINE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING LIGHT FLASHED. THE VEHICLE HAD A DRASTIC REDUCTION IN SPEED WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN TWICE AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V527000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) AND WAS WAITING ON THE PART FOR MONTHS TO RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR AND WAS UNABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE RECALL WOULD BE COMPLETED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,000. MA 10/15/2015

ENGINE

TRAVELING APX 5-10 MPH DOWN A HWY SLOWING DOWN AND APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC LIGHT THE ENGINE STALLED/QUIT COMPLETELY AND WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE WITH HELP TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES THE ENGINE RESTARTED. THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE SEVERAL YEARS AGO (RC 04048) AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BY MYSELF ON 1/21/05 AS SOON AS I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL. LOOKING AT THE INVOICE THAT I STILL HAVE IN MY FILES TODAY IT CLAIMS A WIRE JUMPER HARNESS AND STRAP WAS INSTALLED. SEEMS LIKE THIS FIX HAS FAILED.

ENGINE

ENGINE STALLS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LOST BRAKES, STEERING, NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE. LUCKILY WAS ON SMALL HIGHWAY, ABLE TO COAST TO STOP AND HAVE CAR TOWED. MECHANIC UNABLE TO REPLICATE PROBLEM AFTER KEEPING AND DRIVING VEHICLE FOR 10 DAYS. SEARCHED ISSUE ONLINE. HORRIFIED TO READ HUNDREDS OF SAME COMPLAINT; SAME VEHICLE, SAME YEAR. HORRIBLE STORIES OF RESULTING ACCIDENTS. NOW NEWS FULL OF "IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE" ISSUES. BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. GM NOT OFFERING ADVICE AND CLAIMS NO RESPONSIBILITY. SAYS "TOO MANY KEYS ON KEY CHAIN." 2 KEYS ON MINE. VEHICLE NOT ON GM RECALL LIST. BOUGHT SECOND HAND IN 2011. NOW TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT. STILL OWE $5,000 ON CAR. CANT AFFORD TO ADD THAT TO NEW LOAN. WILL NOT SELL IT TO UNSUSPECTING SOUL WHO MAY BE KILLED.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

THE CAR SHUTS OFF SUDDENLY AND ALL OF THE GAUGES LIGHT UP. THE CAR MUST BE RESTARTED, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS PRESENTS A DANGER AS THE CAR MAY SUDDENLY LOSE MOBILITY ON A HIGHWAY. IT SEEMS THAT THIS MAY BE RELATED TO MULTIPLE POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET THAT CLAIM THIS SYMPTOM IS CAUSED BY A VOLTAGE SPIKE TO THE COMPUTER GENERATED BY THE AIR SHOCKS. THIS CAR WAS BUILT SEPTEMBER 1,2001 AND WAS SUPPOSEDLY INCLUDED IN A RECALL BUT THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS CAR AND IF IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL, ONCE THE REPAIR IS DONE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IT ON THE GM COMPUTERS AND THE RECALL WOULD THEN NOT BE IN EFFECT FOR THIS VEHICLE. IF IT WAS REPAIRED AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE ROAD.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE CAR WASH IN 2003 THERE WAS A WATER LEAK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE RIGHT POWER WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLLUP OR DOWN AND THIS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN

I HAVE HAD MY 2002 BRAVADA IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE LOCKING OF MY AWD. THE FLUID WAS CHANGED IN THE TRANSFER CASE (NO HELP), THE MODULE WAS REPLACED (NO HELP) AND NOW THE WHOLE TRANSFER CASE IS BEING REPLACED. THE COST IS BETWEEN 1500 AND 2000! THE VEHICLE HAS 80K MILES. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE (AND IT APPEARS THAT GM IS AWARE OF PROBLEMS-BASED ON TSB'S ONLINE) ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN CLIMATES WITH SNOW. THE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, WHEN TURNING IS LOST, AS THE PARTICULAR WHEEL LOCKS UP. I ALSO HAD MY FAN CLUTCH BREAK, SEPARATE FROM AWD PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2002 GMC SAFARI VAN. THE HEATER CORE IS LOCATED IN THE FRONT OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. IT IS COVERED BY AN UNINSULATED PLASTIC COVER, WHICH WHEN THE HEATER IS ON GETS EXTREMELY HOT. MY WIFE ACCIDENTLY TOUCHED IT WITH HER LEG AND BURNED HERSELF. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE CAR SERVICED BY A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHICH IS MORE CONVENIENT TO ME. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS WORKING CORRECTLY. I TOOK IT, AT THERE REQUEST TO A GMC DEALERSHIP, AT MY OWN EXPENSE IN ALBANY, NY AND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY AND THEY COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. GMC REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, CLAIMING IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY AND THAT WAS THE DESIGN. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN FLAW WHICH IS EASILY CORRECTABLE. GMC CASE # 1-343963559

IT'S THE SAME AS THE REST OF THE COMPLAINTS. WHILE DRIVING CAR AT ANY SPEED JUST COMPLETELY STOPS FOR NO REASON AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I BOUGHT THIS NICE 2002 OLDS BRAVADA FOR MY WIFE AND NOW SHE & THE KIDS HAVE BEEN STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON MAJOR INTERSECTIONS 4X4'S NEEDING TO BE TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP ACTS LIKE THEY WANT TO HELP AND TRYS TO FIX PROBLEM PUT NEW COMPUTER IN. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL MONTHS GO BY AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. STALLED OUT AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION WITHOUT WARNING WITH TWO KIDS IN THE CAR AND MY WIFE IN A PANIC FOR HER LIFE AND FOR THE KIDS. THERE HAVE BEEN TONS OF COMPLAINTS SOME SAY IT'S THE MOTOR BUT GM ISN'T DOING ANYTHING JUST EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON THE SUVS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND SOMEBODY DIES FROM IT I GUESS THEN GM WILL STAND UP AND HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. I DON'T WANT THIS TO BE MY WIFE AND KIDS. THIS IS A LEMON. THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD NOT ONLY ARE THEY A DANGER TO MY FAMILY BUT TO ANYBODY ELSE OUT THERE ON THE ROAD THAT IS BEHIND OR IN FRONT OF THESE CARS. PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT RISK HERE AND IT'S NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. WHAT KIND OF LAW SUITS IS GM WANTING TO GET INVOLVED IN BEFORE THEY MAKE THIS RIGHT? THESE CARS ARE A TICKING TIME BOMB JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN AT ANYTIME ANYWHERE WITHOUT WARNING. I NEED ANSWERS AND A QUICK FIX NOW NOT WHEN SOMEBODY DIES! I TRADED OUR JEEP IN FOR THIS NEWER BRAVADA SO MY WIFE AND KIDS WOULD BE SAFE IN A NICE NEW SUV. ENDS UP THEY ARE NOT SAFE AT ALL IN THIS SUV THEIR LIVES ARE IN DANGER EVERYDAY BECAUSE THEY ARE HAVING TO RIDE IN THAT SUV EVERYDAY. THINK ABOUT YOUR LOVED ONES RIDING AROUND IN THIS BRAVADA HOW WOULD YOU FEEL... WOULD THEY BE IN IT OR IN SOME OTHER SUV? BUT WHAT IS OUR OPTION WE ARE STUCK PAYING FOR THIS SUV THAT IS A LEMON AND TICKING TIME BOMB. THAT MAY KILL MY FAMILY AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLES FAMILIES. WE NEED TO GET THIS ISSUES RESOLVED ASAP PEOPLES LIVES ARE ON THE LINE HERE. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.
