Consumer Description

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 SUBURBANS AND TAHOES. 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
