[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]Im seriously pissed off

 

looks like the battery blew up

 

holy.... ate right threw that...

 

yeah this really fing sucks

 

whats the story behind that? how did it happen? getting holes repaired? they will rust through completely soon if not taken care of.


but you def cant just post pics and not tell us what happened. come on! lol

 

its a long story when i first bought the car the original battery had a bad cell and then my car wouldnt start so took the car to the dealer and they replaced it and then this **** happened and they r telling me that they think they r going to have to cut the affected area off and replace with one from a junked cobalt

 

WTF? They forget to put the vent tube back on when they swapped the battery out????

That is truly messed up

 

Exactly why I have an optima

 

well thats not the reason i bought an optima but its sure a plus to having one lol


and ya, they prob didnt put the vent tube back in.


sue the *******. you could have been killed.

and the resale value of your car is **** now. that could be considered rust damage.

 

it IS rust damage.

 

true.

 

SUE or make them buy the car back full price.

 

lmao at you guys saying to sue. a good welder with some new material and some paint and no one will ever notice that **** was even there.

 

true but im just helping people get rid of their cars before they regret buying them like i did.

 

come on man... what would you do if you took your new car rot the dealer and that happened....

you would really want them to do that?

 

as long as the repair is not gonna show up on the history of the vehicle if someone were to look up the VIN, if they gave me a free rental for the day they are repairing it. and a couple of free oil changes, i wouldnt say anything

 

i supposee.

 

Thats why I do my own work for stuff easy like that... Hell... I even replace some of harder to replace stuff just because of my paranoia of the dealership's "Quality" service.

 

im taking the car in next tues, i also diluted any battery acid that may still be in there so there wont be any more damage then there needs to be

 

good luck and you better get tons of free stuff to compensate

 

It was recommended to me to get one when I bought the car. There is nothing in the trunk to prevent battery acid from eating away at it if it were to leak.

Optima FTW
