problem #2

Bravada 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 57,698 miles
My vehicle was purchased as used with 33,000 miles, I purchased an extended warranty which has paid for many repairs to date, March of 2002 my vehicle had the lower ball joints replaced under this warranty. I had vehicle inspected private garage and they noted lower ball joint wear, I contacted Oldsmobile because the parts were replaced at an olds dealer the manufacturer of my vehicle incident number 1-65943454 they noted contacting dealer and would repair vehicle, and since it was covered under the warranty I purchased would not compensate other repairs, I wanted to file complaint because replacement ball joints only lasted a year and that these were also defective parts.

Bravada 4WD

Sorry I forgot to give a street number. Once again olds is saying my 97 Bravada is not included in this campaign but it has been diagnosed from an authorized GM service center with these issues..I feel I am being pushed around and that the recall should be widened before more people get hurt and my truck should be covered, it is a 97, it was sold in il and it has the same problem as the recall at 50,000 miles this is too much of a coincidence for me. Thank you for your time and support. Ken chamberlain. No safety defect listed.
