1995 GMC Suburban electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Original fitment battery leaked causing failure of positive terminal screw (vehicle would not start). Extensive surface corrosion in battery area. At owner expense (battery out of warranty) acid neutraliser & sealant applied to affected areas, terminal replaced, battery replaced with aftermaket (exide) unit. After another 22 months (at 65000 miles), second battery failed with minor leakage, suspected due to overcharge. Charge circuit checked ok by dealer. No report of corrosion or other brake system problem reported from dealer (ref. The federal safety agency action # pe99073).
Windshield wiper motor, HVAC controls, door window motors (2), alternator, and radio failed between 50,000 and 75,000. Battery died while truck undergoing HVAC controls replacement. Windshield motor failure occurred during storm--nearly catastrophic consequences. Despite our repeated attempts, neither gm nor dealer has made good on any repair/replacement costs.
