ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
SUV LOST TOTAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. LIGHTS, POWER STEERING, GAUGES, ALL ELECTRICAL WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET. AAA TOW DRIVER INDICATED THAT MY POSITVE BATTERY TERMINAL WAS LEAKING DOWN ONTO TO THE CABLE HARNESS CAUSING THE CABLE TO BREAK. HE SAID HE SEES THIS PROBLEM (LEAKING + TERMINAL) ONCE A WEEK. GM TRUCK CHASIS WITH AN AC DELCO BATTERY AND ALWAYS THE POSITIVE CABLE. REPAIR FACILITY CONFIRMED DIAGNOSIS AND SAID TO HANG ONTO MY RECEIPT BECAUSE GM MAY BE DOING A RECALL. BOTH PARTIES SAID THAT GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED, BUT IMAGINE IF I WERE ON THE FREEWAY DOING 65 MPH WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE CAR? HOW MUCH WOULD A REFUND MEAN TO ME THEN? I PLAN ON SENDING A COPY OF THIS TO SENATOR FRED UPTON (R -MICH) IN SUPPORT OF THE "THREAD" ACT. .

I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE ABS ON MY BLAZER. THEY FAIL TO STOP MY BLAZER COMPLETELY WHEN I COME TO A STOP ON A LOOSE SURFACE. THEY ALSO FAIL SOMETIMES ON DRY SURFACES SUCH AS ASPHALT. I HAVE TAKEN MY BLAZER IN TWICE FOR RECALLS ON THE ABS AND NEITHER OF THE RECALLS HAS REMEDIED MY PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE FOR GETTING RID OF THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT I AM AT RISK EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANKS, PHIL LONG

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
IN MARCH, MY SON WAS ON THE ON RAMP ABOUT TO GET ON I-65 IN INDIANAPOLIS, WHEN EVERYONE STARTED BREAKING FOR A CAR WHO HAD RAN OUT OF GAS. HE BRAKE, BUT HE SLID INTO THE BACK OF A SEMI DRIVEN BY JOHNNY DEATON. THIS COLLISION DID $992.00 TO OUR VEHICLE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE FIXED AT A COST OF $ 492.00 (WE HAD $500 DEDUCTIBLE) AT THE END OF MAY, WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHEVROLET SITES THE LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE REQUIRED WHEN BREAKING IS DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING SWITCH. MY QUESTION IS THIS--- SHOULD CHEVRO;LET BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPENSATING US FOR THIS ACCIDENT? THANKS, STEVE SCHRINK
