09 Pathfinder battery tie down?

Postby deezx5 » Wed Apr 14, 2010 8:38 am

I bought a used 09 Pathfinder in Feb. and I just noticed that the battery is sitting on a tray with nothing holding it down. Isn't there supposed to be a strap or bracket of some sort holding down the battery? I bungee corded but wanted to make sure before I go to the dealer.

Should be a metal bracket holding it down...

I figured something was missing, my Ford has a bolt down strap and a plastic cover over the battery. We got the Pathfinder used from Carmax so I guess I need to buy the bracket from a dealer.

I would try to get Carmax to put one on there. It should have come with it.

I will call Carmax and see what they say but since it was a used car I don't have high hopes. It only had 9.5K miles when we bought it and the battery looks stock so I have no idea why that piece is missing. Maybe Carmax removed the battery when they steam cleaned the engine bay and forgot to reattach the bracket?
