2002 Oldsmobile Bravada body problems

Filed Mar 21, 2022 · Body, Suspension · OH

Front Control arm broke at the frame. There is a recall for this control arm issue for a 2002 Bravada but, my vin was not included. 01V126000 is the federal safety agency. The control arms fractured causing separation from the frame. Bravada is at service shop and they have confirmed the frame separation from control arm. This is very dangerous and has caused it to be unsafe and deadly.

2002 olds bravada (which we have owned since 9/2004) was being driven by my teenage son (with 3 other kids in the vehicle), as he left a stop sign, the frame of the vehicle broke loose from the body, separating the control arms from the frame and dropping the rear of the vehicle. He was traveling approximately 20mph at the time of incident. He managed to get to the side of the road where the vehicle came to rest in a ditch, a semi-safe distance from traffic. The vehicle was towed 11/10/12am to a nearby gm dealership. The estimated cost of repair begins at nearly $7000., which would exceed the vehicles value. The gm dealership, to which the vehicle was towed, has advised us not to repair the vehicle as it would be too extensive. To further that statement, the gm dealership has discouraged us to even obtain a full and accurate quote as this would take too much time for a vehicle that should never see the road again, agreeably. To quote both the tow truck driver and the general service manager of the gm dealership; "they have never seen a vehicle with an issue such as this." repeated attempts to report this to gm have failed. In efforts to minimize personal opinions from this post, I will only say this is utterly unacceptable on the part of gm, and a safety hazard to unsuspecting customers.

Dt*: the contact stated while the vehicle was at the car wash in 2003 there was a water leak on the passenger side. The right power window would not rollup or down and this occurred intermittently. The dealership could not duplicate the problem. Two-three weeks ago while trying to get the window to roll down, the engine died suddenly without warning. This was the third time the engine died suddenly. The first was while driving 60 MPH on a dry highway. The vehicle was towed to the dealership who could not duplicate the problem. The second time, the vehicle restarted after sitting a short while on the side of the road. The cvcs boots on the front wheels blew and were replaced twice. The headlights were replaced three times.

Door blew open, 37 MPH wind gust, bent door post at upper and lower hinges. Both doors at open position flex door post. Obvious factory defect. Door post not stiff enough. Repair does not fix problem. Doors will fail in future!
