Thanks a lot in advance!

I have a problem with my power windows. They will go up about 2 inches then stop. A few minutes later another couple inches, then stop. This is happening w/my driver side and both rear windows. To make matters worse the temp. all week is close to 100 where I'm located (NC) and my AC is on the fritz which wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have the hit-or-miss thunderstorms. Has anyone had this prob. and if so is it something I could do myself or would it take a mech? Thanks in advance for any help.

When I turn to move forward it feels like my wheels are locked and like I have the hand-break on, so I have to give gas so it moves, but if I release the gas the car stops like I'm on parking until I push on the gas again!!!! Same thing for reverse, it's really weird but I think it might be that there is a leak somewhere in the hydraulic system, if anyone knows anything please help me out!!!!!!
thanks
I live in Arizona, we only have license plates on the back, I now have a vanity plate for the front and find there is no way to put it on......any ideas, I assume I need to purchase a bracket.
Thanks

I have a 99 bravada. occasionally after turning off my bravada when I go to start it again it will turn over but wont start. After letting it sit for awhile it usually comes back on but tonight it decided it wouldn't start up again. I'm not sure what to think. Any answers? Also my security system has been acting funny and comes on when it shouldn't and my stereo switches it self from one thing to another and sometimes shuts it self off. I don't know if its a computer problem or not. In addition to when I crank the wheel one way or the other all the way it jerks and hops!!! I have a two yearold daughter and live in northwestern pa...Its cold here so my car not acting right is a big deal...if anyone has answers please let me know
Good luck!

Apparently there is some type of box in one of the kick panels located in front of the vehicle that basically has the circuit to actually turn this light off, but if what ever it is that switches the light on and off won't re-set the light stays on.
If this is the case, has anyone ever replaced this box? If so where did you get the part and what did it cost? Oh, and why did you find the need to replace it, and did it cure your problem?
Thanks for any help
The Bravada we have did loose enough oil in 68000 miles to saturate the pan located under the engine. When I checked it out I removed the pan and cleaned everything in order to see exactly how much of a mess it makes between each oil change, and then reinstalled the pan. Between checking the oil between fill-ups and the pan I will be able to keep an eye on exactly how much oil I do loose this way.
If the oil levels on your vehicle aren't going down quickly, I would just keep an eye on the levels to be sure they are kept where they should be. This oily mess may look much worse than what it actually is.
I do agree any oil leak should be repaired if it is possible, but if this leak isn't any worse than a lot of other Bravadas with this problem, and between the cost of these hoses plus their install price, I might opt to leave well enough alone.
I was looking on this forum for help. My 99 Bravada has 112k miles on it. My transmission has gone out for the third!!! time now. The mechanic says he has this happen with Bravada's all the time and I should just get rid of it. This car has no hard use, is not used to haul things, has its oil changed religiously with synthetic oil. Has anyone else ever heard of this happening or is it just my Bravada with an issue?
Over the last 3-4 years I have replaced just about everything except the frame on the vehicle. Some things more than once. From what I am reading the transmission issue is common. I actually remember having a conversation with the mechanic that replaced my transmission a few years ago and he told me there was some defect in one of the parts of the transmission that was known by the company, but, they never placed a recall on it. And that was one of the reasons the transmissions go. :mad:
Hope that helps.
the truck also would sputter a little after you stopped at a light and got it up to about 15 mph then would smooth back out at around 20 mph. i took it to a muffler shop (to have new muffler put on) and he told me about the fuel tubes underneath the intake having problems being cracked and leaking extra fuel into the cylinders. i am in the process of replacing those tubes right now. will let everyone know how that works once i'm done.
the truck was about a 3 1/2 hour ride from our house when we bought it. all we did before driving it that far was change the oil and fill it up with gas. other than that, everything else works GREAT!! a/c and all the extra goodies still work! i love these body style trucks and don't plan on getting rid of it, especially since we paid next to nothing for it!!!
Thanks,
George
The truck won't start, the key won't come out of the ignition, and it won't come out of park. We put a new relay in that was buzzing but it still doesn't do anything! Anyone else ever had this problem?????
Hate this truck!
Good luck! :shades:
I have a 1999 Bravada with over 140K on it. (This is the second time I've owned this same vehicle - first time was in 2006) Ever since a little while before I got it from my brother, the Service Engine light comes on and goes out at its own will (most of the time). The first time I had it, it was constantly experiencing problems with the fuel pump (which no local mechanic could seem to figure out) and was eventually replaced. That was the only problem I had with it and the SES light would only come on when someone else drove it (I swear). Now that I have it back, the SES light comes and goes. For a while it was random, we had the codes checked and replaced the two up-stream O2 sensors. It stayed off for a while and started to come on again only when I entered an in-town area. I filled my gas tank and ran some injector cleaner through it. It's still on that tank of gas but the light is coming on more frequently and at no specific time, temperature, or location. I have noticed that when the light comes on, it kills my gas mileage but when cleared, my gas mileage is instantly back to normal. For example, normally I can drive my car to and from work for 4 or 5 days on a full tank (15 miles each way). Today on my way home, the light came on again and within less than a half of a mile it drained almost 1/8 of my tank. It gets all of its regular maintenance (at least the two times I've owned it, it has) and is going to a different mechanic on Friday to have the coolant flushed and the Air Pump/Exhaust Check valve changed. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated! I can't afford to buy another car and this one is starting to drive me crazy!
