Passenger seat caught on fire from seat heater while car was off and no one in it. The seat heater had not been used for days. My car was parked after going to the store about 3pm. Found the next morning about 10;30 am.GM denied my claim. Safety issue, definitely a manufactured defect, there should be a recall. Whole inside of the car is trashed. The fire obviously started from the seat must have been a blaze the headliner and visor also burnt. Must have extinguished itself due to lack of oxygen. I contacted GM they never sent anyone to look at it. I emailed them photos and through that they are denying that it is a defect or a safety issue. Through research I have found I am not the only person this has happened to and yet there is still not a recall for this

The paint on the flanges in front of the back wheels is chipping off. This is a common problem on 2002 Bravada the vehicle is driven only on road and under normal conditions. The dealer just called me and said this is not a warranty item and I should put mud flaps on the vehicle. At this rate, the flanges would be down to bare metal in a short time. This is obviously a paint defect and has been reported in some of the town hall message centers on 2002 Bravada. I told the dealer his response was unacceptable, but I am getting the run around here. A factory rep is supposed to look at it tomorrow, but the dealer held out little hope. Help

My main problem with this vehicle has been the paint. 2 paint jobs later on the lower half of car - paint still looks like crap. I can see the erosion beginning again on the driver's side on rear door lower where the body flares (design error I've been told). I've notified Oldsmobile who state that it's the environment I'm driving in, not the paint. Why then, does not every car in new england look like mine? I am planning on running boards - don't want to buy them - but trying to save the paint.
