My wife started the engine in a church parking lot and the battery literally exploded, spreading battery acid under the hood. Besides the battery, the only visible damage was a badly pitted fan. The battery was a replacement which had been installed by competition infiniti, smithtown, ny, 2 years and approximately 20,000 miles earlier. After some discussion, the dealership finally agreed to pay for a replacement battery and fan. I was told that there was no further damage under the hood. An employee volunteered that this was the second exploding battery they had seen in the recent past. No further information was given to me on this potentially dangerous situation.

There was an apparent electrical short within the interior frame next to the passenger window. I'm not sure exactly when the short occurred but the interior lining on the panel has three burn marks about two inches in diameter. The interior lights have not worked since this incident. I took my car to the dealer whom I purchased the car and their service advisor, dale gunter stated they would not repair the electrical defect or burned panel under warranty. I feel the fuse controlling the wire that shorted should have burned out before the electrical fire could burn the interior panel. Any assistance you can provide me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.
