I am writing this complaint because I have come across some issues with my transmission and cruise control. I got to looking into it and seen where there were some recalls for the same problems on the same year model of my vehicle. I have called around and they are telling me because of my VIN number they cant do anything, but it is the same year model and I am having the same issues. The service engine light wont go off, it wont shift into overdrive, it doesn't shift right, it feels like it shifts into neutral on its on. Sometimes it feels like it doesn't register it being in drive when I go to take off, seems like it has a rough idle, and the cruise control does not work anymore. I would like something to be done about this because I need my vehicle fixed.

Bravada shuts down while driving. While on highway I was traveling at 70 MPH. Then the truck is completely dead. I was able to pull over and sat for 5 to 10 minutes trying to restart it. It finally started. (no check engine light came on) after I let it sit for a few month I decided to replace the egr valve gasket and clean the carbon out of the throttle body. A few months go by I was driving on a road off of a high way going 40 MPH. Same thing occurred. I got it started in the same amount of time and it will run fine like nothing ever happened. After reading the other complaints I am going to replace the ignition switch even though the dealer said it could be numerous of other things and not the ignition switch. In fact they never heard of an ignition switch doing this.

Was driving on the highway when the check engine light on my 1997 oldsmobile bravada began flashing then there was an explosion at the rear of the vehicle. We pulled over and I pulled my children from the vehicle. The entire underside of the vehicle was on fire and flames were coming out of the gas cap. My husband used two full fire extinguishers on the fire and was unable to put it out. Following the attempt to extinguish the flames there were two more explosions. The sheriffs and fire departments came and put it out. Each filed reports on the incident. It is believed that the fuel pump (located inside the gas tank) shorted out causing a spark that ignited the gas tank. The vehicle was a total loss.
