Hello - I am looking for some opinions and known problems with 2002 Bravadas. I am going to trade my 95 Olds Aurora for a 2002 Bravada and would like to know what are the major problems and what to look for on potential problems. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks

I think they're a great looking car but I don't trust the motor, trans, rear suspension system, AWD or the complicated electronics.
Do a search on '02 Bravadas & Trailblazers.
Wow, you guys missed a real soapbox rant I just deleted. I'm ok now.:screwy:

I gave up my 98 aurora for a 2002 bravada and the only common defect i'm experiencing now is the faulty fan clutch, it's stuck on and it sounds like a 747 when I accellerate. The only other common issue i know of is the AWD having problems, but I purchased a warrantee on it. As for the motor, i put all my trust in it, i've heard very good things about its reliability.

The "roaring fan clutch" is a common problem on GM's and can be over come with an aftermarket electric fan kits, or do a search here or in the Blazer forum. I saw a post were a Tarus electric fan was used as a replacement.

yes i'm aware, i plan on just replacing the clutch, but if it fails again, i'll probably look into the electric setup.
