1995 Chevrolet Tahoe Electrical system Problems

“The rear driver side window became inoperable, followed by the entire door (it won't open at all). Then, the rear passenger side door wouldn't open from the inside, followed by the driver door and recently the passenger door. The driver door, front and rear passenger doors can only be opened by rolling the window down and opening the door from the outside handle. We noticed that around the same time the doors went out, so did the back brake light panels (replacing the bulbs and housing units don't make a difference). …”

“My battery failure was same as power failure that newspaper said NHTSA was investigating. I still have battery which will show why vehicle loses power. I also know of one more exact same failure with a suburban which probably has'nt been reported. The cargo door hinges are another failure that gmc refuses to address and blames it on poor maintinence by the owner.”

“I recently read of your investigation of Tahoe battery leakage. I think the problem is bigger than power failure. My brakes failed on the highway, and when I took the vehicle in for repair I was told that acid from the battery had leaked onto the brake line and destroyed it. All the fluid was lost. The brake line, right front hose and (of course) battery were replaced. Someone should tell GM that it is not too smart to put leaky batteries over a brake line. The vehicle has been (and still is) dealer maintained and serviced.”

“2 batteries have leaked, brakes have become squeaky shortly thereafter goth times. I saw an announcement in the ny times and felt I should give you yhis information”

“Onseptember 25, 1998, I was driving my 1995 chevy Tahoe, SUV and had a complete brake failure, which almost caused a terrible accident. This was amazing in that on august 7, of that same year only a little over a month after the brakes had been serviced they failed. It was concluded that the battery had failed and leaked acid onto the brake lines causing them to fail and leakout the vital fluid.
