Consumer Description

POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE IS CORRODED, INCLUDING THE WIRES CONNECTED TO THE BATTERY TERMINAL. CORROSION WAS A LARGE MOUND WHEN WE OPENED HOOD TO ADD WASHER FLUID. TRIED TO REMOVE CORROSION AND DISCOVERED THE ENTIRE CONNECTION TO BATTERY TERMINAL HAS DISINTEGRATED. RIGGED IT UP WITH $3 PART FROM AUTOZONE. DEALER STATES THEY'VE NEVER HAD ANY SUCH PROBLEMS. DEALERSHIP HAS THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN UNDER THE HOOD OF MY CAR. I AM THERE EVERY 5000 MILES....LIKE CLOCKWORK. CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DIDN'T SEE SIGNS OF THIS ON LAST VISIT. THEY WANT $3100 TO REPLACE THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS! WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I DIDN'T CATCH THIS? IT WOULD HAVE SHORTED OUT AND POSSIBLY CAUGHT FIRE. *TR
