It was installed correctly: correct polarity, both terminals tight and free of corrosion, hold-down secured. The car ran normally for about eight weeks, with no warning lights or electrical symptoms.  On 09/10/2026 at about 12:00 p.m., the car caught fire while parked. It had not been driven or started since about 5:00 p.m. the day before (about 19 hours), so the engine and charging system were off. The fire appears to have started at the battery. It stayed in the engine compartment but melted the underhood fuse box and the engine wiring harness. The local volunteer fire department responded, and a police report was filed. No one was hurt, but a battery fire in a parked, unattended car could easily spread to a home, garage, or other vehicles.  The car had an earlier front-end repair after hitting a deer. It had been driven for more than a year since that repair with no electrical problems.  The vehicle and the battery remains have been left in place and are available for inspection. The retailer and manufacturer have not inspected them yet.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"SONIC","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"},{"type":"Equipment","productYear":"9999","productMake":"EVERSTART","productModel":"MAXX 12V BATTERY H5/47, 650 CCA","manufacturer":"Clarios, LLC"}]}]}
