1995 GMC Suburban Electrical system Problems

“The ABS system has always been a problem. One morning backing out of the garage after it had rained the night before, I gently braked and the car made a grinding noise and jerked abrubtly scaring all of us. It skidded ! Up and down the driveway I did this and it jerked and skidded! We decided it was not safe. The store checked tires and brakes. This has happened again and again! The electrical problem has been ongoing. The dealer cannot figure it out, we're ok for a while - 6 mos. With a new battery and then were stranded somewhere cause its died. …”

“The electric connector for the low pressure/ loss of fluid was not connected at the factory to the ABS valve. The original battery leaked at the + post. The oem replacement battery did the same. After that I switched to an after market gel battery,optima brand and never had a problem with it. The factory installed trailer hitch platform started to faill when I was towing a 9000lbs trailer,showing a 3 to 4 inch crack in the right side bolted to the frame. All those failled parts were replaced at no charge by the dealer under either Gmc warrenty or good will policy.”

“Wtnh news reported 6/20/00 many instances of battery failure on 1995-1999 suburbans/tahoes. Mine failed when only 4 years old after leaking acid in the engine compartment. The air conditioning lines were hit with the acid and may fail prematurely. Cost to replace battery was $69. Replacement of A/C lines will be $100-200 est. I have not replaced the A/C lines.”

“While going down the road at 65mph vehicle will just shut off, and brakes/ steering locked up, took to dealer and they replaced the injection pump five times, and now the problem was reoccurring again. Check the engine light came on, followed by loss of power and the dealer replaced injection pump, module on the pump, waste gate module but all were just bad guess.”

“Windshield wiper motor, HVAC controls, door window motors (2), alternator, and radio failed between 50,000 and 75,000. Battery died while truck undergoing HVAC controls replacement. Windshield motor failure occurred during storm--nearly catastrophic consequences. Despite our repeated attempts, neither GM nor dealer has made good on any repair/replacement costs.”
