The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The original factory battery leaked acid. The dealer cleaned off frame and the "steel" brake line to the right front wheel and then painted it. The replacement factory battery then leaked acid again in 09/00. This time acid leaked into battery cable "wrapping" causing corrosion of the entire cable. It also leaked onto the coupling on the "steel" brake line that goes to the right front tire. Now dealer has to replace the battery box and cable, fender well and the coupler on the steel brake line.
