problem #1

Nov 152005

Monte Carlo 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 63,000 miles
There was no event leading up to this failure. The battery and charging system are operating as per spec. Factory ac/delco battery supplied with new 2003 Chevrolet spontaneously started leaking liquid acid from the casing surrounding the anode. The acid drained onto surrounding vehicle parts and ground. I removed the battery, cleaned the affected parts and installed a new battery. I retained the original defective battery for inspection.
