problem #5

Bravada 6-cyl

  • 248,000 miles
At 60K miles had to replace transmission and motor (with 2003 Chevy Blazer). Mirrors don't recall and move when unlocking car. Passenger seat belt gets tight after braking and has to be undone, recoiled, and put back on. Backup lights blow every year. The AWD was fixed twice by dealer and messed up again so we had it removed. The air suspension blew & was replaced with springs. Terrible racket in the rear end. Driver heated seat quit working 2 years ago. This year, transmission has quit working (while driving) and I am over this car!

Center rear seat belt does not work. Ratching mechanism in seat continues to tighten when put it on until it's to much pressure. General Motors could not provide any explanation or logic for why the center seatbelt works differently than all the others in the vehicle, the consumer believes this is not safe. Nlm
