This has got to be the strangest and most dangerous way to mount a battery , that i for one have ever seen.
In reply to imoore1436 .
Are you kidding ... this vehicle was purchased by my wife and came with all the dealership hooks including all oil changes , check ups ,etc. It was in for other recall work also .
After all that , not one person advised anything about a battery pan .
As stated , i found this rotted out mess while changing out the battery myself .
If anyone disagrees that a battery falling down in front of a front wheel will not cause an out of control condition ,
i suggest you try it by running over a friggen battery at 60 mph.?!
As for the battery cables holding the battery up because they have no slack ... are you kidding ???
The 50 cent stamped pan cost me $200.00 because its not available in aftermarket !
I just dont get this .
