This battery has failed twice in 2 yrs. The battery terminals pull out leaking acid on cables and surrounding components and has also caused the alternator to fail. I saw a news brief in an auto publication that you had began looking into the problem on Suburban and Tahoe. I have talked to other people who have had the same problem on other GM cars. I personally seen this happen on many GM cars with ac-delco batteries, I was an employee in a GM dealer for 21 years. I have contacted GM but have not received any assistance and this had happened over 2 months ago
There was a battery leak. Fluid leaked onto the wiring harness cover and ate through to several wires. Also, defective brakes caused brake pads to wear out and rotors to corrode. Dealer has been contacted.
