REGARDING OLDSMOBILE, BRAVADA 2000 SUV TRANSMISSION/ELECTRICAL FAILURE. IN NOVEMBER 2005 , AND AGAIN MAY 2007, THE 2000 BRAVADA WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND MADE LOUD SOUNDS. THE BRAVADA WOULD NOT GO NO MORE THEN 20 MPH AS I WAS ON A 65 MPH HIGHWAY. GOT OFF NEAREST EXT AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO EXAMINE. AS I TRIED TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING LOT THE CAR WOULD NOT BACK UP, BUT WOULD ONLY GO FORWARD. IT SOUNDED LIKE THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTING GEARS WERE NOT ALIGNED ANYMORE. I TOOK THE CAR TO AAMCO, AND WAS TOLD I WAS CORRECT, AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT . ALSO, STATED THAT THE CAR BUILT WITH A PART TO GO UP TO ABOUT 125000 MILES, BUT IF THE CAR WENT OVER THAT THEN YOU HAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER HASN'T MADE A PART TO CARRY THE CAR OVER THAT MILEAGE. THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. EACH TIME I TOOK TO 4 DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION PLACES AND TOLD SAME THING REGARDING MANUFACTURER, AND WAY THEY BUILT IT. *AK

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
