2004 Oldsmobile Bravada

Defect. ON CERTAIN TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE DRIVER WISHING TO SIGNAL A TURN BY MOVING THE DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL LEVER, (UP OR DOWN) MAY CAUSE THE FRONT MARKER/TURN LIGHTS AND REAR TURN LIGHTS TO FLASH IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO HAZARD WARNING, RATHER THAN FLASHING ON THE DESIRED SIDE ONLY.

Risk. THE DRIVER MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CLEARLY SIGNAL THEIR INTENTIONS TO TURN, CHANGE TRAVEL LANES, OR POTENTIALLY WARN OTHERS OF AN IMPAIRED VEHICLE OPERATING CONDITION INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SUSPECT FLASHER MODULES WITH A NEW FLASHER MODULE DESIGNED WITH SEALED RELAYS AND MORE DURABLE CONTACT MATERIAL INSIDE OF THE RELAYS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 4, 2005. ISUZU BEGAN MAILING OWNER LETTERS ON AUGUST 4, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727, BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, AND OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-630-6537.

Defect. ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, VIBRATION AND HEAT MAY CAUSE THE TAIL LAMP/STOP LAMP BULB TO LOOSEN IN ITS SOCKET. IF THIS OCCURS, THE BULB MAY FLICKER AND EVENTUALLY BECOME INOPERATIVE.

Risk. AN INOPERATIVE BRAKE LAMP WILL NOT CONVEY THE DRIVER'S INTENTION OF STOPPING TO DRIVERS IN FOLLOWING VEHICLES, AND AN INOPERATIVE REAR TURN SIGNAL LAMP WILL NOT CONVEY THE DRIVER'S INTENTION TO TURN TO DRIVERS IN FOLLOWING VEHICLES. BOTH OF THESE FAILURES CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TAIL LAMP/STOP LAMP ASSEMBLIES, AND IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THEM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 22, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-630-6537, BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, OR GMC AT 1-866-996-9463.

TAKATA RECALL, MY WIFE WAS IN TWO ACCIDENTS, ONE IN APRIL 2011 SHE WAS DRIVING DOWN A SUBURB STREET TO CATCH A LIGHT ON A LEFT TURN AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN FOR THE OTHER SIDE COMING AT HER, A CAR ALREADY AT SPEED LIMIT CONTINUED AND MY WIFE STRUCK THAT CAR ON ITS LEFT SIDE WITH HER FRONT LEFT BUMPER ; AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED, SHE WAS IN ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON 12/4/2015. SHE WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE GOING ABOUT 70MPH WHEN A VAN DRIFTED INTO HER LANE FORCING HER OFF THE ROAD. HER CAR FISHTAILED WHEN IT HIT THE SHOULDER AND WHEN TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, IT FLIPPED OVER AND ROLLED A TIMES OFF THE FREEWAY, LANDING UPSIDE DOWN AND THEN CAUGHT FIRE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THIS CASE EITHER.

HELLO I BOUGHT AN 2004 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA ON 2/25/2012 THE SELLER TOLD ME THAT THE TRUCK HAD 100,000 MILES, BUT AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND WHEN A GOT HOME I CHECK THE RECORD OF THE TRUCK IN VINCARHISTORY. AS A RESULT I FOUND OUT THAT IT HAS 62,000 MILES MORE OF WHAT IT SUPPOSED TO BE AND SELLER NEVER TOLD ME ANYTHING. WHAT CAN I DO IN THIS CASE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANY PROBLEMS??? *TR

GAS GAUGE , OIL PRESSURE, TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER ALL GIVE FALSE READINGS. THIS CAUSE THE INABILITY TO ACCURATELY MAINTAIN SPEED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SPEED LIMITS. IT ALSO MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE FUEL LEVEL WHICH CAN LEAD TO RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE WAS LOOKED AT BY DEALER AND DETERMINE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS DEFECTIVE. REPAIR REQUIRED CLUSTER BE SENT TO REPAIR SHOP AT A COST OF $750. I DID MOT HAVE THIS FIXED SINCE I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS KIND OF FAILURE BEING THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY SINCE VEHICLE SAFE OPERATION IS DEPENDENT ON IT. THE VEHICLE IS A 2004 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA SUV. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL. THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT SHOW THE ACCURATE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE AND THE READING WOULD FLUCTUATE SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS OR REPAIRS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2004 OLDS BRAVADA WITH A 4.2 LTR ENGINE. I NOTICED A LOUD TICKING NOISE. I DISCOVEREDBTHERE WAS A CRACK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ANY OF MY CARS. APPARENTLY I DO NOT STAND ALONE. I HAVE DISCOVERED COUNTLESS GM OWNERS OF THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE WITH EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I THINK GM SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS DEFECT. I BELIEVE IF ALL THIS IS HAPPENING IT IS POISONING OUR ATMOSPHERE WITH ALL THESE EXHAUST LEAKS BASED ON POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THIS PARTICULAR PRODUCT. I THINK THE EPA SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS INCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA. THE CONTACT NOTICED FAILURE WITH THE FUEL HOUSING WHILE PLACING FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE FAILURE AT THE COST OF $799.65 BY INSTALLING A NEW FUEL PUMP AND HOUSING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,548 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION UPSHIFT FROM 1 TO 2 GEAR, 2004 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA AWD THE TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES WHEN IT SHIFTS GEARS AND CAUSES MY FAMILY TO GET THROWN BACK INTO OUR SEATS CAUSING WHIPLASH. IT ALSO DRASTICALLY REDUCES THE RPM, LOSING SPEED. THIS SCARES US CONSIDERING THAT OTHER VEHICLES MIGHT REAR END MY CAR. UNFORTUNATELY THE GM DEALERSHIP HOLDS OUR VEHICLE FOR MAYBE 2 DAYS AND DRIVES IT FOR A SHORT DISTANCE. SINCE THEY CANNOT FIND THE ISSUE AS IT IS RANDOM EVEN THOUGH THIS CONDITION AS DESCRIBED IN THEIR SERVICE BULLETIN SAYS THAT IT IS RANDOM, THE VEHICLE IS RETURNED SINCE GM WILL NOT PAY THEM. THEY WANT THE CONDITION T WORSEN BEFORE THEY FIX IT, PUTTING US IS HARMS WAY. I WOULD SUSPECT THIS HAPENS WITH THE TRAILBLAZER AND GMC ENVOY AS WELL.

WHILE DRIVING ON CA HWY 18, OUR 2004 OLDS BRAVADA SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE. A PASSING MOTORIST SHOUTED TO MY HUSBAND THAT HIS CAR WAS ON FIRE. HE PULLED OVER; THE FIRE DEPT. RESPONDED. CAR WAS TOWED TO GM DEALER; USAA INS. DETERMINED THAT IT WAS TOTALED. IT WAS TOWED TO THEIR YARD IN NO. HOLLYWOOD WHERE IT NOW IS. GM HIRED AN ENGINEER TO CHECK THE CAR. GM THEN TOLD US THAT A PHOTO TAKEN AFTER THE FIRE & TOWS SHOWED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID DIP STICK HAD NOT BEEN PROPERLY SECURED & THIS CAUSED THE FIRE. THE CAR HAD ONE OIL CHANGE ABOUT 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE FIRE. IN WRITING, GM SAID "AFTER CAREFUL INVESTIGATION OF YOUR CASE, NONE OF THE AVAILABLE DATA SUGGESTS THAT THE PRODUCT ALLEGATION HAS ANY MERIT..." & REFERRED US BACK TO OUR INS. CO.
