| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought a 1998 chevrolet astro van from mark christopher chevrolet on 07/08/99, and the battery leaked out spilling acid on the left apron, the dealer said they would try and nuetralize the acid and spray undercoat on the affected areas. this is not how the vehicle is. the left apron is painted the same color as the van and i refused to let them spray black undercoating on the damaged part. im a collision repair specialist and this is not how to repair a battery acid spill. the affected area is now eating away the welds and the sheet metal. gm said they will no longer take care of the problem and that hidding it with under coating is good enough. this vehicle should be nutralized,stripped, etch primed, sealed, then refinish in all affected areas. this van is already corroding away. i just dont feel safe letting my wife (pregnant of 7 mths.) and 16 mth old child ridding in this vehicle. vehicle is still under warranty. please help . *ak |
