Battery problems of the 2001 GMC Yukon

I own a 2001 GMC Yukon and this is the second time the abs module has failed on it. After it fails, the motor continues to run. Not only do you not have abs, but the motor heats up. If you don't notice it right away, it will drain your battery, leave you stranded, or worse.

Heated seat module failed and instead of just not working it stayed on, ran my battery down, caused my seat to get really hot to the touch and I was concerned about it catching fire. If a module is faulty it should shut off not stay on and caused the possibility of a fire and run your battery down. Gm had to disconnect the seat module to get it to go off. They want $481 to fix and could not guarantee that it wouldn't happen again. I paid them $150 to disconnect and this way I know it won't happen again. This is a safety issue, my Yukon could have burned up. . . . . After buying a new battery (since this caused the other one to go bad)I had to disconnect the battery until I could get it to carl black to disconnect permanently.

: the contact stated the battery leaked acid causing the positive cable to become corroded. The vehicle was towed to a dealer for inspection, where it was determined the battery and cable would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was alerted.

Original equipment acdelco battery positive terminal corroded and fell off with no prior warning. No visible signs. Failure can occur at any time, with vehicle either running or parked, and at any location. Repair is a battery replacement and repair of acid-damaged parts located under the battery. I've since learned that this failure is common knowledge of gm repair centers and other gm SUV vehicle owners.

Vehicle having multiple problems with seatbelts. The front seat belt would not pull out or return to position, two weeks later, the same problem occurred in the passenger seat belt. The rear seat belt experienced the same problem. The battery leaked acid from the positive battery post and the material on the drivers seat was wearing out.

Battery acid was leaking out of the truck and onto the driveway. The third battery was installed because of this problem.

For at least three months the dim headlights would go out and only the high beam lights would work we took the truck in they could not duplicate. Then the truck stalled at 23500 miles and it was taken in and a new battery was put in under warranty. This is the third GMC vehicle we have had with battery problems. We also have a 1999 suburban that has had three batteries installed. We do not know at this point if the new battery will correct the headlight problem but will certainly return to dealer if not. I would like to know if there are other owners experience the same electrical/shortage problems? dt.

Headlights just go off on low beam will work only on high beam. Sometimes they work and then at other times they go off. Took to local dealership in brandon mississippi, could not reproduce, however got stranded wouldn't crank at 23900 miles, boosted, took to dealership, gauges were clicking and jumping battery was replaced under warranty but I am afraid this is not the end of this problem. We have had three GMC's with previous battery problems while under warranty. Dt.
