Nine problems related to battery have been reported for the 1996 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The initial symptom has been upon starting the engine the clock resets to 1:00 and the air conditioner lights glow on and off(but the a/c switch is off). The next symtom is while driving the engine will just die unexpectedly. The Suburban has been taken to several dealers. The battery has been replaced 4 times since the vehicle was purchased in mid-1996. The battery has leaked so badly that parts under the area where the battery sits had to be replaced. Besides what seems to be electrical problems, the brakes in the front have already been replaced 4 times. This last time the roters were replaced because the dealer said they were out of mfg. Specifications. Brakes and battery repair are not under extended warranty. Each trip to the dealer is more $500. 00. The potential for a life ending accident is so great when these systems fail on a vehicle. Why aren't these vehicles built with better reliability? the truck was picked up from the dealer on 9/11/2000. The electrical problems are still not fixed! (description of vehicle: Chevrolet Suburban, v8 vortec 454, 4x4, 3/4 ton).

The original battery leaked and caused a power outage,causing the positive cables to eventually start corroding internally. The dealer replaced the defective battery under warranty. Several months later the replaced battery caused the same problem,but this time it internally corrode the positive cables. I went to the dealership and explained to them that the battery leaked again and corroded the positive cables. They refused to replace the battery. So I had to buy a new battery and bought a new pair of positive cables and installed them myself. I filed a complaint with gm and they did not do anything about it. I contacted ac delco to tell them that I felt that they had a battery problem and they never contacted me back.
Ac delco battery is leaking acid. Due to a spillage, acid has eaten through right wheel braking sensor.
