Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Strange electrical issues start happening. my car wouldn't start and couldn't be jump started. had to be towed to the dealer. the problem was a corroded positive battery cable lead. the battery cable assembly had to be replaced at a cost of $300.00. the car is two years old and i live in colorado. i fine it difficult to believe that a battery cable could corrode to the point of having to be replaced in two years. i believe that it is a defective cable not corrosion that caused my problem. *nm
