The delco freedom 676 battery post breaks off, delco and dealer are aware of this problem. But neither would admit this untile I informed them a car battery store dealer had made me aware of this problem. One month later I ran into a lady with the same battery and problem at the dealership and she was getting the standard answer until I showed up. It was at that time I learned from her the windshield wiper system had a problem the dealer was aware. I have not found any recall information in either case.
