| My wife started the engine in a church parking lot and the battery literally exploded, spreading battery acid under the hood. besides the battery, the only visible damage was a badly pitted fan. the battery was a replacement which had been installed by competition infiniti, smithtown, ny, 2 years and approximately 20,000 miles earlier. after some discussion, the dealership finally agreed to pay for a replacement battery and fan. i was told that there was no further damage under the hood. an employee volunteered that this was the second exploding battery they had seen in the recent past. no further information was given to me on this potentially dangerous situation.*ak | |||
