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?

RE SEALS, DEALER SAID IT HAD MORE TO DO WITH WHERE I LIVED (EXTREMES IN TEMPERATURE) - RE REAR END, DEALER COULD WORK W/ US IF AUTO HAD LESS THAN 60,000. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED WITHIN SUMMARY. *AK

PLASTIC PIECE THAT COVERS THE BUCKLE FOR THE LAP BELT FOR THE CENTER SEAT BROKE WHILE HOLDING A CAR SEAT. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE CAR SEAT NOT TO BE SECURE. THIS HAPPENED WITH 18-MONTH OLD WAS IN THE CAR SEAT AS PARENT WAS DRIVING. MANUFACUTURER WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED AT THIS TIME. *AK

WE HAD NEVER TOWED ANYTHING WITH THIS VEHICLE, NEVER TOOK THIS VEHICLE OFF ROADING EITHER. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT A GEAR POPPED THROUGH THE CASING, THERE ARE MANY NOTICABLE CRACKS IN THE CASING. WE KEPT ALL THE OLD PARTS FOR INSPECTION. I FEEL THAT I HAD A DEFECTIVE CASING OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 57000 SHOULD HAVE NEVER DONE THIS. I CALLED THE LOCAL GM DEALER AND THEY WERE NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. *AK
