Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN AROUND OTHER VEHICLES NAMELY THOSE WITH BRIGHT LIGHTS AND AT STOP LIGHTS. IT FELT AS THOUGH THERE WAS A TON OF PRESSURE INSIDE MY VEHICLE ALMOST LIKE THE THE WINDOWS WERE GOING TO EXPLODE. IM NOT SURE HOW TO EXPLAIN IT MAYBE A GRAVATAIONAL DOWNWARD PULL? ALMOST LIKE A CHEMICAL BURN FROM THE BRIGHTNESS OF OTHER HEADILGHTS AND THE VEHICLE MIRRORS MIXED CHEMICAL NOMENCLATURE WERE HAVING A BAD REACTION. THIS CAUSED ME TO BECOME AWARE OF AN ISSUE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND HAD THE BATTERY TESTED NOTICING THE BATTERY WAS LOCATED IN THE TRUNK WITH NO PROTECTION SURROUNDING THE BATTERY AND WIRES SEMI EXPOSED PLACED NEXT TO FUSES AND SHEET METAL. WHO DESIGNES THINGS LIKE THAT? THATS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. TODAY MY HEAD STILL HURTS AND I WILL BE SEEKING A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL.
