Car would not start, proceeded to jump, lifted plastic cover on positive cable on battery. Post is completely covered with corrosion, Connection on wire harness 90% gone. Have extend warranty and scheduled maintenance plan with Ford. Car is four and a half years old. I have nine maintenance visits with paper work. Each states a 50 point inspection done, with battery/charging system inspected, checked as done. Dealer contends this corrosion happened in the last seven months, since last inspection, due to defective battery, and wire harness not covered on warranty. Cost $1,200.00. My contention is no battery inspection was ever done, and a cable will not disintegrate in 7 months. Dealer says charging system fine, I have taken battery to be tested, holds 12.6 volts, no bulging, no visible cracks or leaks, test window on battery shows green.I also have the wire harness. Before I take this to the next level, I am gathering opinions by professionals if a cable can disintegrate in seven months, or the dealer staff never inspected the battery.
