1993 Oldsmobile Bravada problems
The Oldsmobile Bravada is a mid-size luxury SUV that was sold by Oldsmobile from 1991 to 2004. The only SUV ever marketed by Oldsmobile, the Bravada was the first light truck offered by General Motors outside of the Chevrolet and GMC divisions since 1924. The flagship of the GM midsize SUV line, the Bravada served as the most luxurious GM SUV prior to the introduction of the GMC Yukon Denali and Cadillac Escalade.
The first two generations of the Bravada were derived from the Chevrolet (S-10) Blazer and GMC Jimmy, offered solely as a five-door wagon. The third generation of the model line adopted a dedicated SUV platform, shared with the Chevrolet TrailBlazer and GMC Envoy. Coinciding with the 2004 retirement of the Oldsmobile brand, GM rebranded the Bravada from 2005 to 2009 as the Buick Rainier and the Saab 9-7X (becoming the first SUV for both brands).
First generation (1991–1994)
For 1991, Oldsmobile introduced the Bravada as its first-ever sport-utility vehicle. Launched alongside the newly introduced four-door version of the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer, the Bravada was the first Oldsmobile truck-based vehicle since the 1920s. In contrast to its divisional counterparts, the Bravada was sold only as a four-door SUV; no two-door body nor any pickup truck version was produced. The first generation was sold exclusively in the United States.
The first luxury SUV produced by GM, the Bravada was designed with its a distinctive exterior separate from its divisional counterparts. In contrast to the larger Jeep Grand Wagoneer (discontinued after 1991), the Bravada was not fitted with wagon-style woodgrain exterior trim; instead, the body adopted a nearly monochromatic appearance with lower body cladding (similar to the GMC Typhoon). A body-color headlight surround was styled with a traditional Oldsmobile split grille; aluminum wheels were standard equipment. Other standard features included standard remote keyless entry, anti-lock brakes (ABS), and the use of SmartTrak all-wheel drive.
As with its Chevrolet/GMC counterpart, the Bravada was fitted with a standard 4.3L V6; for 1992, its output was increased from 160 hp to 200 hp. In contrast to the part-time four-wheel drive system of the Blazer/Jimmy, the Bravada was fitted with SmartTrak full-time all-wheel drive. Shared with the GMC Typhoon and the AWD Astro/Safari vans, SmartTrak used a BorgWarner 4472 transfer case; though forgoing low-range gearing, the system offered a 65%/35% rear/front torque split, shifting it when the system detected slippage.
During its production, the first-generation Bravada underwent minor detail changes. For 1992, the instrument panel was revised to further distinguish itself from the Blazer/Jimmy. For 1993, an overhead console was added (including a compass, temperature, and reading lights). As an option, a Gold package featured gold-colored badging and wheels.

Common 1993 Oldsmobile Bravada problems
The Oldsmobile Bravada, a mid-size SUV produced from 1991 to 2001, has been known for several common problems based on complaints from owners. Here are three major issues found in the 1993 model:
- Fuel Filter and Fuel Pump Failure: The fuel filter in the 1993 Bravada should be replaced every 30,000 miles to prevent fuel pump failure. If not replaced regularly, debris and contaminants could accumulate in the fuel filter, leading to fuel pump failure and potentially stranding the driver.
- ABS Light Due to Brake System Control Unit Failure: The Bravada's anti-lock braking system (ABS) could experience issues due to a failing brake system control unit. This failure would trigger the ABS warning light on the dashboard, indicating that the ABS system was not functioning correctly. Replacing the brake system control unit was the primary solution to this problem.
These issues, along with the potential for ECM failure symptoms such as erratic engine behavior, reduced fuel efficiency, or failure to start, make regular maintenance and timely diagnosis essential for the 1993 Oldsmobile Bravada.

Are you having problems with your 1993 Oldsmobile Bravada?
Enrico Kulas 2024-10-17
This vehicle has been incredibly dependable. Even with high mileage, it still runs great and consistently gets 21mpg in all driving conditions, even when pulling a little box trailer. While it may not be the best 4wd vehicle for rugged terrain, it has never left us in trouble. If I could find another 1992 with lower mileage, I would buy it again. Despite having over 210,000 miles, it is still running great and we hope to get many more miles from it. The only downside is that it is a bit small for our family of 5 on long trips, but we manage.
Jedediah Ebert 2024-07-25
This was my first car and I've heard from many technicians that it was one of the best starting cars I could get for an SUV. It has good style, a comfortable interior (including the steering wheel, unlike Chevy and GMC of this year), and great handling. I highly recommend it for a first ride.
Albert Dickinson 2024-06-11
This vehicle is incredibly reliable and still manages to pull 20 mpg. Over the past 150,000 miles, maintenance has included an alternator change (which is a weak link on most GM vehicles), ball joints (unfortunately, you can't grease the top joint), spark plug wires, rear u-joint, fuel filter, and muffler. The smart track works flawlessly in snow. If you talk to the dealers, they'll tell you that they don't see too many 92's shadowing the door for service. When I first got the vehicle, my only complaint was body roll with factory tires. However, investing in Dunlop Radial Rovers or Michelin LTX's made a huge difference. I've had both and while Michelin's are quieter, they are pricier. The Bravada will handle much better and is safer in emergency maneuvers.
Buck Dietrich 2024-03-01
This is such a great vehicle! It runs so well and is incredibly sturdy.
