DEALER REPLACED HORN SYSTEM, OWNER'S MANUAL RECOMMENDED TO SOUND THE HORN, AND PRESS CENTER PADS ON STEERING WHEEL.

THE FIBERCLASS COVER ON THE FRONT BUMPER ASSEMBLY DOES NOT FIT PROPERLY. THE COVER VIBRATES APPROXIMATELY ONE HALF INCH IN AN UP AND DOWN DIRECTION. THE FOG LIGHTS ARE ATTACHED TO THIS COVER ALSO, AND VIBRATE WITH IT. CONTACTS WITH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAVE PRODUCED NO SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS THAT "ALL 2000 BRAVADAS ARE BUILT LIKE THAT". THE OLDSMOBILE COMPLAINT LINE SUGGESTED THAT I INFORM YOU OF THE PROBLEM. SINCE IT IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND WILL PROBABLY NOT CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT I FIGURE YOU WILL FILE THIS COMPLAINT IN THE BIG ROUND CIRCULAR FILE. THANKS. *AK
