| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1. prior unrelated discussion with a tow truck driver advised me that he has had to tow in a couple of cars that are the same make and model as mine. he advised me that the positive battery cable were failing. he advised me to check it. 2. i checked my positive battery cable connection to the battery yesterday. there was severe corrosion and 1/2 of the connecting clamp was eaten away by corrosion at the positive side of the battery/cable. 3. i cleaned the connection as best i could but i will be calling ford as vehicle is only 1 year old. cable needs to be replaced before failure. there appears to be a problem as why is this happening in only 1 year? replacement of this cable seems to be only a temporarily fix. *tr |
