Battery problems of the 1999 Mercedes Benz 320

Attempted to start the car. The battery exploded. There was an exyremely loud noise and the car was jarred. The battery is located under the rear seat. This is where the infant seats are located because this is where my grand children are required to ride. Fortunately, they were not in the car at the time. Emergency road service replaced the battery.

While in park, the battery exploded which also caused the air bag to deploy. While parked, the right side front passenger airbag deployed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they found that the hoppecke battery under the rear seat was cracked and broken and setting in a pool of acid which accounted for the acid smell at the time of the air bag deployment. The incident caused damage to the interior.

The battery and air bag exploded, while the vehicle was parked. (lawyer, trevor grimm, on behalf of client).
