About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The ignition design on the Chevrolet Suburban is flawed. Something causes the battery to leak to the point of totally corroding away the cables. There are no warnings, the vehicle just stops. The battery acid leaks into the internal part of the positive cable and destroy the connection. Because the negative cable is design to run under the positive terminal, it is also effected by the leak.
