SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM FAILS ON DRY PAVEMENT WHEN A BUMP OR SEPARATION IS CONTACTED IN THE PAVEMENT DURING THE BRAKING OPERATION, RESULTING IN LOST OF BRAKING CAPACITY. THIS OCCURS USUALLY BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 25-35 MPH DURING BRAKING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS SLOWING DOWN. IF DURING THAT TIME, A BUMP OR RISE OCCURS IN THE PAVEMENT, IT SEEMS LIKE TRACTION IS LOST AND BRAKING CAPACITY IS DIMINISHED, RESULTING IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. OFTEN THIS OCCURS AT STOP SIGNS AND INTERSECTIONS, OCCASIONALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN, RESULTING IN HAZARDOUS HANDLING. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES, AND ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR BY REPLACEMENT OF GASKET ON FLUID RESERVIOR LID OF MASTER CYLINDER DIMISHED THE SYMPTOMS BUT DID NOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. HAZARDOUS BRAKING SITUATIONS CONTINUES WHEN BRAKE FAILURE AND/OR INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE ON DRY PAYMENT OCCURS. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY:CABLES
I READ RECENTLY OF BATTERY LEAKING ON 95-97 GM SUV'S AND TRUCKS. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS ON MY 95 FULL SIZE PICKUP TRUCK. THE BATTERY LEAKED ACID INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ALL OVER THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND BRAKE LINES. IT IS NOW CORRODING AND GM WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY FIXED THE FIRST BATTERY AT 22K MILES. AT 34K MILES, IT HAPPENED AGAING, BUT MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT WARRANT THE PROBLEM THE SECOND TIME. THE FACTORY INSTALLED AND THE 2ND DELCO REPLACEMENT BATTERIES BOTH LEAKED ACID AT THE POSITIVE POST. THE BATTERY HOUSING WAS CRACKED ON BOTH BATTERIES. I ALSO CONTACTED DELCO AND THE WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR THE PROBLEM. SO NOW I HAVE A BATTERY I PURCHASED FROM AN AUTO PARTS STORE. IT DOESNT LEAK, BUT I AM AFRAID ON THE FUTURE CORROSION DAMAGE ESPECIALLY TO THE BRAKE LINES. I ALSO HAVE A FRIEND WHICH HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH A 95 CHEVY S10 STYLE BLAZER.
