ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CHEVROLET CAMARO 1998 3.8L V6.ATTERY RETENSION TRAY FAILED, CAUSING THE BATTERY TO BECOME LOOSE INSIDE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. PROBLEM WAS FOUND DURING OIL CHANGE. PLASTIC LIP, HOLDING BOTTOM OF THE BATTERY HAS BROKE OFF, LEAVING NO RETENSION FEATURE ON THE TRAY. NEW TRAY MUST BE PURCHASED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I SUSPECT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF BATTERY SHORT CIRCUIT AND POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD IF BATTERY TERMINAL CONTACT CAR BODY DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. *AK

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
BATTERY VOLT GUAGE DROPS BELOW 8 VOLTS, DASH AND HEADLIGHTS DIM, WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN VERY SLOWLY. AFTER 30 SECONDS POWER RETURNS. THIS TAKES PLACE WHEN NO EXTERNAL DEVICES ARE ACTIVATED. DEALER SAID ALL CAMERO'S HAVE THIS PROBLEM. BEEN IN SHOP 2-3 TIMES - THEY VERIFY BUT CAN NOT REPAIR. DEALER SAID IS NOT A SAFETY OR DRIVABILITY ISSUE. I AM NOT SO SURE..
