Consumer Description

BATTERY CASE CRACKED, FLUID LEAKED OUT AND CORRODED AND THUS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERY CABLES AND THE BATTERY. I FEEL THAT THE ORIGINAL BATTERY CABLE IS TOO SHORT CAUSING STRESS ON THE BATTERY CASE AT THE CABLE MOUNT TO THE BATTERY, RESULTING IN A CRACKED CASE AND SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE. REPAIR COSTS AT DEALER $285.53. I SEE THAT INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM HAS ALREADY BEGUN. *JB
