To make it even funner, my TM battery and it's 4 mounting nuts and bolts were in the way...


LOTS of those plastic bits won't be going back.

Jeez...

Seems like an obvious example of the car maker not wanting owners to take care of a simple maintenance task.

I bet you Sapphire was somehow involved in designing that

I know one thing, the installer sure didn't know it was hiding under there.


He bolted the battery box for the 370 right up next to the seat..

And the spare tire access door is in the floor in the back. My buddy found out the hard way after he installed his flooring in his van. Couldn't get to his spare tire when he had a flat.

""Now lets talk about how to remove your battery. 1st slide your seats all the way back"

Then they show power seats. Hmmm, if your battery is dead, your seats won't slide back. Great design.

Holy crap! What a horrible design! I would rip that thing apart. What is up with these manufacturers today. Always going backwards trying to build a better mousetrap.

This is not a bash post or "mine is better" post because I get tired of that crap. My Promaster battery is under a plastic cover under the Driver's feet. Pretty easy to get to.

Nice of Jimmy to lend them his wedding dance song...

My wife used to have a Chrysler Sebring. To get to the battery you have to take off the front driver wheel, take off the plastic guards, then reach way back with a wrench and unscrew the mounting screws and pull it out. It was a joke.
