#736280November 14, 2000
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY:CABLES
IN NOV 1998, THE SAME INSTANCE OCCURED IN AS THE BATTERY + CABLES CRACKED THE SIDE MOUNT BATTERY CABLE ATTACHMENT. THIS CAUSES ACID LEAKAGE (UNDETECTED) TO LEECH INTO BOTH CABLES, WITH EVENTUAL CABLE FAILURE, POSSIBLE TOTAL POWER LOSS. IN MY 1ST REPORT (ODI # 724340) I PAID $405.95 TO THE DEALER + TOWING CHARGES TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. THIS TIME I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY WITH BOTH SIDE AND TOP MOUNT POSTS, 2 NEW CABLE ASSY'S, AND ATTACHED THE STARTER + CABLE TO THE SIDE MT, AND THE POWER CONTROL + CABLE TO THE TOP MOUNT TO ELIMINATE THE WEIGHT/PRESSURE ON THE SMALL SIDE MT 3/8" BOLT. THE WEIGHT OF BOTH CABLES ON A SINGLE SIDE MT POST IS EXCESSIVE, AND WITH VEHICLE VIBRATION DURING DRIVING THIS INCIDENT WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR. I HAVE HOPEFULLY ELIMINATED THIS ISSUE BY SPLITTING THE CABLE MT LOCATIONS. HOPEFULLY CHEVROLET WILL RECALL THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM COSTING CONSUMERS ALLOT OF CASH. AND THE KICKER, IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER A STANDARD OR EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO BATTERY FAILURE, WITH RESULTANT CABLE FAILURE IS NOT COVERED. FEEDBACK REQUESTED IF POSSIBLE.

STEERING
RECENTLY I SENT MY CHEVROLET TAHOE (1998) TO THE DEALER IN ROCHESTER, NEW YORK. WE HAD CONCERNS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE TRUCK STEERING WAS EXTRAORDINARILY NARROW IN TURNING RADIUS SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS WE NOTICED THAT WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY, OR IN PARK, IF WE TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL IT WOULD STICK UNTIL WE MOVED A LITTLE AND THEN IT WOULD FREE ITSELF.
