Consumer Description

MY BATTERY WAS DEAD THIS MORNING, SO I JUMP STARTED MY TRUCK. I LET IT RUN STATIONARY FOR 10 MINUTES AND THE BATTERY EXPLODED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A BOMB WENT OFF. IT BLEW THE BATTERY INTO PIECES, ELECTRONICS AND THE COOLANT RESIVOIR. IT SPRAYED BATTERY ACID, COOLANT EVERYWHERE. MY EARS WERE RINGING AS I WAS 10 FEET FROM IT. IT ALSO DENTED THE FENDER ON MY TRUCK. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND WAS BLOWN OFF, WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CALLED BACK BUT WAS NOT. THEY SAID THEY HAD NO INFORMATION ON PROBLEMS WITH THOSE BATTERIES AND SAID THEY COULDN'T GET A RESIVOIR FOR 3 DAYS. WE ARE TRAVELING AND STOPPED HERE IN LEBANON TN FOR THE WEEKEND. I HAVE MANY MORE PICTURES, BUT THEY ARE TOO LARGE TO ADD.
