2000 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA Complaints

THE WIRING HARNESS IN OUR 2000, OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA CAUGHT FIRE. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH IT CHFED THROUGH AND SHORTED. THE CHAFING OCCURRED WHERE THE HARNESS WAS BENT OVER THE A/C RETURN (?). IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND IS BACK WITH DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED.

THE HEATER CORE RUPTURED ON I-40 NEAR GALLUP, NM. THE HOT VAPOR INJURED MY WIFE, KAREN MOODY AND OUR CHILDREN JOSEPH, 11 AND JESIKA, 15. KAREN HAS LUNG DAMAGE AND SEIZURES. NEUROLOGICAL PROBLEMS AND OTHER PROBLEMS. JOSEPH HAS NASAL PROBLEMS AND SEIZURES AND NEUROLOGICAL PROBLEMS. *NLM

THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, BUT THEY COULD NOT LOCATE IT. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING AND RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. *NLM

A CLUNKING NOISE IS COMING FROM FRONT END OF VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

FRONT RIGHT TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION. TWO WEEKS AGO BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE CHANGED. MECHANIC STATED THERE WAS A DEFECT WITH THE LUGS: NUTS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

CONTINUAL PROBLEM WITH WINDSHIELD CLEARING OF FOG, AND ICE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD RESTRICTING VISIBILITY AND A SAFETY CONCERN. HAD IN TO DEALER IN DENVER, CO TWO TIMES, AND CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR OLDSMOBILE, AND THEY STATE IT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY, AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, IT WAS ENGINEERED THAT WAY. I HAVE VISITED WITH GM CORPORATE, AND THEY HAVE THE SAME STANCE. THE PROBLEM HAS HAD A SECOND DEALER OPINION, AND THEY ADJUSTED THE FLOW DIVERTOR, BUT STILL A MINIMUM OF AIR GOING TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AND VISIBILITY IS STILL IMPAIRED. THEY DID INDICATE THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS OF A SIMILAR NATURE, BUT HAD TO PRY TO GET TECHNICAL SERVICES TO ADMIT TO THAT. IT IS A VERY SERIOUS CONCERN TO ME SINCE MY VISION IS ALREADY LIMITED BY AN OLD INJURY, AND IT IS REALLY AN UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING TO HAVE A WINDSHIELD THAT WON'T REMAIN CLEAR.*AK

4 BATTERIES HAVE BEEN REPLACED DURING THE FIRST 25000 MILES, DEALER HAS HAD TO RELOAD DATA THAT IS MISSING, VEHICLE SOMETIMES LOSES POWER TO A NUMBER OF SYSTEMS, HEADLIGHTS INOPERATIVE, ELECTRONIC COMPASS MALFUNCTIONS, THE RADIO OPERATES ERRATICALLY, THE DOME LIGHTS DONT TURN OFF, THE VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM ACTIVATES FOR NO REASON, THE POWER DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT OPEN ELECTRICALLY, THE COMPUTER CODES HAVE BEEN CHECKED, PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM EXISTS.
