Consumer Description

2000 CHEVROLET VENTURE: I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW JAN 01, ON AROUND 4 JUNE 2003 I NOTICED THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I CHECKED THE BATTERY CABLES, AND WHEN I GRABBED THE POSITIVE CABLE, IT BROKE OFF FROM THE BATTERY TERMINAL. ACID HAD APPARENTLY BEEN LEAKING FROM THE TERMINAL AND EVENTUALLY CORRODED THE BATTERY POST/TERMINAL. THIS CAUSED PREMATURE FAILURE AND I HAD TO GO BUY A REPLACEMENT BATTERY. I DID NOT REPORT IT TO CHEVROLET DEALER BECAUSE ORIGINAL 36,000 MILE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. MY CO-WORKER HAS A 1998 CHEVROLET VENTURE AND HE JUST INFORMED ME THAT HIS AC/DELCO BATTERY HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND HE JUST REPLACED HIS ON 31 AUG 2003.*AK
