ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY:CABLES
OUR SUBURBAN NOW HAS ITS 3RD BATTERY IN 3 YEARS. THE ORIGINAL BATTERY'S POST BROKE OFF LEAKING ACID, DESTROYING STARTER WIRING, CAUSING ASSOCIATED FRAME DAMAGE. THE DEALER DENIED KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PREEXISTING PROBLEMS WITH SUBURBAN VEHICLES OF THIS TYPE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY, BUT REFUSED TO TAKE CARE OF THE ACID DAMAGE. THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS IN THE FALL OF 1999. WE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY AT FULL COST TO US SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. TODAY JULY 10, 2000, THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO START. THE TRAY HOLDING THE BATTERY SHOWS EVIDENCE OF CORROSION. IN ADDITION, THE POSITIVE CABLE TERMINALS ARE CORRODED. *AK

#724995July 6, 2000
EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
WE HAVE HAD OUR AIRCONDITIONER SERVICED AT LEAST 4 TIMES. WE HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT SHOPS IN HOPES THAT SOMEONE COULD FIND A LEAK. ON EACH OCCASSION THE SHOP WOULD PUT DYE IN THE FREON BUT COULD NOT SEE IT LEAKING OUT. A CHARGE WILL LAST ABOUT 3 MONTHS. THE VEHICLE GOES FROM ONE DAY THE A/C WORKS GREAT TO THE NEXT DAY HAVING NO COLD AIR AT ALL. THE A/C DOESN'T GRADUALLY FAIL LIKE YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD IF THEIR WAS A FREON LEAK. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT IT. THANKS.
