Consumer Description

BATTERY LEAKING ACID ON GARAGE FLOOR FROM POSITIVE TERMINAL POST OF BATTERY. I HAVE BEEN READING OF MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR CHEVROLET TAHOE/YUKON OF SAME YEAR THAT HAS CAUSED CRASHES DUE TO BRAKE LINE CORROSION AND SUBSEQUENT FAILURE. MY DEALER FOUND BATTERY LEAK, BUT DID NOT INFORM ME OF ANY BRAKE LINE INSPECTION SO I AM NOT CERTAIN MY VEHICLE IS SAFE. I REPLACED BATTERY MYSELF AND USED BAKING SODA AND WATER TO NEUTRALIZE ACID AS PER DEALER INSTRUCTION. (BEFORE INSTALLING NEW BATTERY) I THOUGHT I SHOULD REGISTER COMPLAINT THAT THIS CONDITION OCCURED. DT
