SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY:CABLES
IN AUGUST 1997 ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE BATTERY LEAKED ACID THUS CORRODING THE AIR BAG SENSOR, POSITIVE & NEGATIVE CABLES & CORRODING OTHER METAL PARTS TO FRAME OF THE YUKON. THERE IS NOW VISIBLE RUST DUE TO THE ACID LEAK. GM DEALER MARTIN GMC REPLACED THE BATTERY UNDER WARRANTY. FOR THE SECOND TIME ON 11/24/99 WITH THE 1YR BATTERY GM REPLACED LEAKAGE OCCURED AGAIN. THIS TIME MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET $543.94 FOR REPLACEMENT OF SENSOR, NEW FRONT BRAKES, & NEW ROTORS FOR A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 54,194 MILES. ALSO, GM REFUSED TO REPLACE THE 1YEAR OLD BATTERY THAT WAS LEAKING BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER MANUFACTURE WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERY HAD LEAKED PREVIOUSLY UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WANTED ME TO PURCHASE A BATTER FOR $80.00. I REFUSES & PURCHASED A BATTERY AT WALMART. THIS ACID PROBLEM HAS CAUSED IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD & IT IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IS THERE ANY RECOURSE IN GETTING MY MONEY REFUNDED?

ERRATIC POWER STEENING CONTROL WHILE IN TURNS AND HIGHWAY DRIVING, NOT ALWAYS PRESENT, BUT ABLE TO REPRODUCE WITH PATIENTS OF DEALER ON TEST DRIVE. SINCE NEW DEALER HAS SAID IT WAS TIRE BALANCING AND ALIGNMENT WHICH THEY ATTEMPED TO CORRECT SEVERAL TIME. AFTER ONE OF THESE CORRECTION IN AUG 99, PROBLEM BECAME MORE APPARENT . WIFE IS DRIVER AND I ALWAYS TOOK THEIR WORD FOR CORRECTION UNTIL I INSISTED THERE IS OTHER PROBLEM AND FIND IT. SO FAR THEY HAVE REPLACED STEERING BOX, PUT ON 4 NEW TIRES AND WHEELS AMONG A HOST OF BALANCING/ALIGNMENTS ETC , NO CORRECTIONS AS OF YET. STEERING WHEEL PULLS ERADICTLY/SHUDDERS FEELS GONE AT TIMES. IS INTERM AT TIMES BUT MUCH MORE PRONOUNCED OF LATE. BRAKES; THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OCCASIONS WHERE THE BRAKES LOCK UP WHEN APPLIED HEAVILY, I LEARNED THIS BY ASKING WIFE AND DUPLICATED IT ON NURMEROUS OCCASIONS WITH ERRATIC REACTION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. *AK
