NHTSA complaint #10188161, filed 2007-04, 130,000 miles“I have noticed in 2003 that on trips of 2 hours or more that our Bravada will stall and I'll pull over for 5-10 minutes letting it rest and then will start it back up and then another 1/2 hour down the road it will stall again. Most noticeably this happened to me on december 27, 2003 during a road trip back from virginia to georgia where the vehicle stalled 5 times. This was very frustrating and takes away my confidence to take this vehicle on long trips.”
NHTSA complaint #10052913, filed 2004-01, 83,700 miles“I have had many mechanical problems with my vehicle since the day I purchased it (new!). I have had several occasions where the oxygen snesor was bad, I currently have a problem with the dome override switch. If I have it activated, pushed in, it will cause my lights to stay on and also causes my personal alarm (like the one on my remote keyless entry) to go off quite often. When the dome override is disengaged, all seems fine. The most recent issue that I have is with the heating system. …”
