Battery lekaed acid onto the brakes, resulting in brake failure. Vehicle has been repaired. Dealer was notified.
The delco freedom 676 battery post breaks off, delco and dealer are aware of this problem. But neither would admit this untile I informed them a car battery store dealer had made me aware of this problem. One month later I ran into a lady with the same battery and problem at the dealership and she was getting the standard answer until I showed up. It was at that time I learned from her the windshield wiper system had a problem the dealer was aware. I have not found any recall information in either case.
I recently read an article about 1995-1997 Suburbans, tahoes that have batteries.

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.

Apparent unrepairable dangerous steering situation, battery problem, transmission failure. Vehicle does not seem to merchantable for purpose for which it was offered for sale.
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.
Battery leaking, possible design flaw.
Ac delco battery is leaking acid. Due to a spillage, acid has eaten through right wheel braking sensor.
