I RECENTLY FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF WALMART REPLACEMENT CAR BATTERIES. SINCE THEN I LEARNED THE OEM FOR THE BATTERIES IS EXIDE CORP. THIS WAS THE SIXTH WALMART/EXIDE BATTERY TO FAIL IN OUR HOUSEHOLD. THIS BATTERY SHORTED OUT, CAUSED THE CAR TO STALL IN TRAFFIC, EXPLODED, AND CAUSED MINOR DAMAGE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THIS FAILURE ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
1 of 1 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
