ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
I RECENTLY READ OF YOUR INVESTIGATION OF TAHOE BATTERY LEAKAGE. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS BIGGER THAN POWER FAILURE. MY BRAKES FAILED ON THE HIGHWAY, AND WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR I WAS TOLD THAT ACID FROM THE BATTERY HAD LEAKED ONTO THE BRAKE LINE AND DESTROYED IT. ALL THE FLUID WAS LOST. THE BRAKE LINE, RIGHT FRONT HOSE AND (OF COURSE) BATTERY WERE REPLACED. SOMEONE SHOULD TELL GM THAT IT IS NOT TOO SMART TO PUT LEAKY BATTERIES OVER A BRAKE LINE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN (AND STILL IS) DEALER MAINTAINED AND SERVICED. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, AIR BAGS
RE: INCIDENT AE00013 - THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITANTLY, TOOK IT TO DEALER, THEY COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM WITH IT. ABOUT A MONT LATER THE TAHOE STARTED INTERMITANTLY LOSING POWER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, CAUSING SEVERAL NEAR CRASHES. TOOK IT AGAIN TO THE DEALER THAT THEN DETERMINED THE BATTERY WAS LEAKING ACID ON TO THE AIRBAG SENSOR. HAD TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG SENSOR AND BATTERY. THEY CHARGED OVER $700 TO DO SO, INCLUDING $89 LABOR JUST TO INSTALL A NEW BATTERY! ABOUT A WEEK OR SO AFTER THAT SIMILAR LOSS OF POWER WAS OCCURRING. TOOK TAHOE TO A DIFFERENT CHEV DEALER WHO THE FOUND ALTERNATOR WAS NOW BAD, WHICH I SUSPECT MAY BE RELATED TO THE ONGOING BAD BATTERY PROBLEMS.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY, STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
MY BATTERY FAILURE WAS SAME AS POWER FAILURE THAT NEWSPAPER SAID NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING. I STILL HAVE BATTERY WHICH WILL SHOW WHY VEHICLE LOSES POWER. I ALSO KNOW OF ONE MORE EXACT SAME FAILURE WITH A SUBURBAN WHICH PROBABLY HAS'NT BEEN REPORTED. THE CARGO DOOR HINGES ARE ANOTHER FAILURE THAT GMC REFUSES TO ADDRESS AND BLAMES IT ON POOR MAINTINENCE BY THE OWNER. *AK

THE BATTERY LEAKED BATTERY ACID. THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE WAS CORRODDED BY THE ACID AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. ACID ALSO LEAKED ONTO THE INNER FENDER AND THE BRAKE LINE. THE ACID REMOVED THE PAINT FROM THE FENDER WHICH BEGAN TO RUST. THE BRAKE LINE APPEARS CORRODDED BUT HAS NOT FAILED YET.
