Windshield wipers suddenly stop without warning, causing you to not be able to see during rain. I am lucky I have not had an accident already. I contacted oldsmobile because they issued a recall for other years of bravadas having the same problem, but they refuse to issue a recall for this year model.

Intermittent wiper circuit board faulty,wipers failed in rain causing me to drive off road onto muddy shoulder. No accident,damage or injury. Local olds dealer offered no remedy. Had new board installed by independant service tech. At personal expense. This failure is not uncommon,and poses horrific threat. Should be investigated with determination. I expect to be reimbursed. Thank you. A.o. Mccrohan.

There is currently a recall of 600,000 suvs by gmc due to faulty windshield wipers. Oldsmobile bravadas are incuded, but gmc says my 1998 oldsmobile bravada is not included in the recall. I had the same problem with my windshield wipers in the spring, and had them repaired. This was a costly repair, and I think it is a design defect. This problem should be investigated and resolved in all bravadas. On the interner, it seems this is a common problem with oldsmobile bravadas, and they should be made to pay for the repairs. Also there is a problem with the driver electronic window- works sometimes and sometimes does not. My friend has an olds alero with the same problem. Needs to be researched. This is inconvenient and dangerous
