Description of the problem | Hello, last night i had to help my sister with her nissan altima 2013 because when she shifts her car from park to reverse or drive the altima stalls and will not drive. When i popped the hood i noticed that her battery was in very bad shape. It was heavily corroded. I cleaned it and tried, but the same symptoms happened. The altima would stall. We ended up replacing the battery. That was her third battery to be replaced. Why is that? Her altima is only 75k miles. This morning i decided to check our 2015 pathfinder to find the same symptoms. My battery was corroding. I decided to clean the battery and add a battery grease to mitigate corrosion in the future. I checked the internet blog regarding this issues and its evident that nissan has issues with their car batteries corroding. Can nissan explain what is going on with this corroding batteries? What can nissan do to take care of nissan owners? Please advise. Thank you, |
