| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2000 cadillac deville dts has the vehicle battery under the rear passenger seat. i was replacing the factory battery in august 2006 after purchasing the vehicle from a private party. there was powdered acid accumulated under and around the battery, near the positive terminal. the battery acid has corroded the metal of the car body, resulting in a through and through hole in the car. i will have this repaired by a body shop. i have been told by another cadillac deville owner, 2001 model, that this is a common problem. i am concerned that any further corrosion could cause catastrophic failure of the car body supporting the battery. the car battery would then fall onto the roadway, possibly presenting a serious hazard to other drivers. *jb |
