SUV lost total electrical system. Lights, power steering, gauges, all electrical while driving on city street. Aaa tow driver indicated that my positve battery terminal was leaking down onto to the cable harness causing the cable to break. He said he sees this problem (leaking + terminal) once a week. GM truck chasis with an ac delco battery and always the positive cable. Repair facility confirmed diagnosis and said to hang onto my receipt because GM may be doing a recall. Both parties said that GM has known about this problem for some time. Luckily no one was injured, but imagine if I were on the freeway doing 65 mph with my wife and kids in the car" how much would a refund mean to me then" I plan on sending a copy of this to senator fred upton (R -mich) in support of the "thread" act..

In June of 1999, while in Texas, the battery exploded/leaked when I started the engine. The acid went everywhere in the right side of the engine compartment and corroded some cables and hoses. The dealership said that everything looked alright, but I can't tell if it is. Today I read an article about General Motors vehicles for 1995 to 1997 model years with a battery leakage/break safety problem. Do I need to be concerned with this. Can you let me know one way or another. Thank you, mark oden.
