Battery leaks acid
Odi has received 21 complaints where owners allege that the standard gm factory supplied AC delco battery case failed, resulting in the leakage of sulfuric acid.of the 21 complaint vehicles, six suburban, three tahoes, and one yukon owner(s) complained about a loss of brake fluid from deterioration of the right frontbrake line as a result of sulfuric acid contamination.the remaining 11 complaints pertain primarily to sulfuric acid leakage from the battery case.at least one complainant stated that the replacement battery also failed.several of the complainants note that the leaking acid had come in contact with a wire harness at the frame in the vicinity of the steel brake line.a field inspection by odi indicates that the described harness is the ABS connection to the right front wheel speed sensor.prior to the battery case failure, there is usually no warning (short of an underhood inspection), and the ensuring damage (sulfuric acid contamination) is progressive.of the known battery failures, there may be a temperature correlation, as 60% of the owner complaints came from four states; california, florida, georgia and texas.there is also a product improvement program and engineering change notice to add 1% silver to the battery's positive side terminall, with the earliest implementation date for this being feb 2, 1998.the effect of this design change is as yet unknown; further review is warranted.an ea is being opened to gather further appropriate information, clarify any defect trends, and to assess the safety implications and risks concerning these failures.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Adjusted power mirrors and the electrical wiring shorted out and caused a fire which destroyed the door, the dash, and part of the seat. If my wife hadn't gotten out of the car, she would have been burned, if not killed

Battery leaked into engine bay, requiring new battery and re-rustproofing of chassis and engine bay components.
Orginal delco battery leaked acid all over fender well and floor of garage. Upon investigating , found that positive post was loose from battery and leaking. Replace with another delco, suppose to be a better model and corrected the problem they were having. Again in about 18 months, the same thing again. Replaced again with same problem, this time I bought a sears die hard, and hopefully solved the problem. Heard the same storey from at least 10 friends and business associates. Should have realized they had a problem. I think it is in the bolt (terminal) disign. Shorter bolt (terminal) on negative side, and either the longer bolt on the positve termanal was piercing the inner wall of the battery, or it wasn't going in far enough and causing an electrical bad connection, causing a heat build up. I think you will find in most cases this was the same problem, and bolt was coroded to nearly nothing in the center of positive bolt. I see where on the newer g.m . Trucks this has been changed and I sure hope I don't have that problem. Thanks for listening.
Pe99-073, battery post came apart from the battery, causing fluid/acid to spill over the brake electrical system, resulting in poor braking ability and extended stopping distance. Consumer has contacted the manufacturer.
Pe99073,battery leaked acid on the front suspension and on the braking system which caused no braking ability. Please provide further information.
In august 1997 original manufacture battery leaked acid thus corroding the air bag sensor, positive & negative cables & corroding other metal parts to frame of the yukon. There is now visible rust due to the acid leak. Gm dealer martin gmc replaced the battery under warranty. For the second time on 11/24/99 with the 1yr battery gm replaced leakage occured again. This time my anti-lock brake sensor light came on. Needless to say, I had to pay out of pocket $543.94 for replacement of sensor, new front brakes, & new rotors for a vehicle with only 54,194 miles. Also, gm refused to replace the 1year old battery that was leaking because the car was no longer under manufacture warranty even though the battery had leaked previously under warranty. They wanted me to purchase a batter for $80.00. I refuses & purchased a battery at walmart. This acid problem has caused irreversible damage underneath the hood & it is a recurrent problem. If this is a common problem is there any recourse in getting my money refunded?
Battery post was overtightened at factory, causing the terminal to break leaking battery acid; also noisy brake booster, seat bracket became loose and horn would blow intermittently upon turning corners.
Driving car, frame brackets holding seat broke, seat went sideways/fell backwards, driver lost visual, had to pull to side of rd, used wiring to hold seat.
