ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - BATTERY

 The metal hydraulic brake line running from the master cylinder to the passenger side front disc brake assembly ruptured, causing the vehicle to lose its braking power while the vehicle was being driven. this line crosses the front of the vehicle and then runs on top of the frame just under where the battery is located. after inspecting and finding the hole it was very apparent that battery acid/corrosion had dripped onto the line,, causing it to be eaten away. the battery is orginal equipment and maintanance free.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - IGNITION - ANTI-THEFT CONTROLLER

 My vehicle will not start periodically while it is raining or the humidity is very high. during this time, the security light will blink and you must wait a minimum of 10 minutes before it will start again. there has been one case when the car completely stopped during driving and lost all power (steering, brakes, etc). the dealer could not find out why this was occurring. the key cylinder was replaced based on a passlock error code in the ecu. this has not resolved the problem. i have visited many websites and found this to be a pretty common problem with chevrolet and gmc suvs and across many years of production. *jb

 Gm has an anti-theft device called a passlock. the systems seems to be faulty on a very large number of their vehicles. it makes the auto not start and maybe even sometimes die while running. i'm quite concerned of the possibility of the engine failing while driving down the road. they told me it would cost $400 - $500 to fix it.*ak
