My car failed to start. On checking battery, located under rear passenger seat, I discovered the battery was badly corroded. The battery sits directly on the floor pan beneath passenger seat. On removing the battery I discovered the corrosion had eaten through the floor resulting in a hole one inch in diameter. I had the floor pan repaired and had rinocoat sprayed on to prevent future problems. I feel GM should put a plastic tray under the battery to prevent this problem.

: the contact stated while navigating slowly through a parking lot the vehicle lost power. After multiple attempts the vehicle was restarted. When the vehicle was restarted the battery warning light came on and went back. The vehicle was driven directly to the dealership. They were unable to identify the cause of the problem through the vehicle's built in diagnostic system.
