| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I am concerned that gmc is neglecting a serious issue that could cause car fires. i called gmc 800)462-8782 and spoke with stacy whaples today. she was not the least concerned that this is a repeat problem that could cause serious injury. the original a/c delco was replaced on this new vehicle around 1 1/2 years and again the same problem with this vehicle 2 3/4 years later. why is it a 6 year warranty if you cannot even get half of that out of it safely. after the first replacement gmc said i am not eligible for any warranty regardless if it is a defect or not. furthermore, at least 5 people i know with the gmc suv's ( yukon's & envoy's) that have the battery manufactured by : a/c delco with the connection on the side leaks batter acid and cause corrosion on the terminal and the cables. the dealer told me that i only needed to replace the battery. i am not satisfied that this is safe and that the cables are going to be safe. several dealers have acknowledged that this is a problem with the design a/c delco battery. this is the 2nd time it has leaked, the property damage marked below is ?- i do not know what else is damaged below or around the spot where the battery resides? *nm |
