ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
IN FEBRUARY MY CAR DIED WHILE LEAVING A PARKING LOT. I TURNED OUT TO BE ACID CORROSION ON THE BATTERY. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO HAVE MY POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE REPLACED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO ACID CORROSION. EVEN AFTER CLEANING THE ACID OFF I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS AND WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE BATTERY EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS IT IS STILL GOOD. I KNOW OF ANOTHER SUBURBAN (95) ALSO HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
I SAW ON TELEVISION THAT THE NTSA WAS LOOKING INTO A PROBLEM WITH LEAKY BATTERIES ON THE CHEVROLET SUBURBANS. MY BATTERY DID LEAK CAUSING A POWER FAILURE. IT ALSO LEAKED DOWN THE INSIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT EATING AWAY WIRES AND TAKING ALL THE PAINT OFF THE INNER FENDER WELL AND PARTS OF THE FRAME. I TRIED TO COMPLAIN WHEN IT HAPPENED AND THE DEALER JUST IGNORED ME TELLING ME IT IS THE BATTERY MANUFACURERS PROBLEM AND I WOULD HAVE TO FIND THEM AND COMPLAIN. THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *AK

SEATS
THE BRACKET SECURING THE DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE. I KNOW OF AT LEAST 3 OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. EACH HAS HAD TO HAVE THE BRACKET REINFORCED AND RE-WELDED. I DO NOT THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING TO VEHICLES THIS NEW. ALSO, NONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM ARE OVER WEIGHT. THESE SEATS SHOULD NOT BE BREAKING. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
YESTERDAY I READ IN THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS THAT YOU ARE INVESTIGATING GM SUV'S AND BATTERY LEAKS. I WOULD LIKE TO GO ON RECORD AS HAVING HAD THIS PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY THE LEAK WAS DETECTED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN MY GARAGE AND NO ONE WAS HURT. ALTHOUGH, THERE WAS DAMAGE DONE TO THE VEHICLE AND I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW STARTER CABLE, AUXILIARY CABLE, PARTS AND GENERAL CLEANUP. THE SUBURBAN WAS JUST OVER 2000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED. THANK YOU KAREN YOCUM. *AK
