Description of the problem | Battery negative terminal became disconnected while driving. Car lost all electrical functions. Could not remove key from ignition; could not open trunk to access battery; could not turn on hazard lights; could not access flare or reflector; internet search seems to indicate this is a common problem due to a design flaw in the quick release mechanism on the negative battery terminal. Fortunately the car came to a stop at a well lit intersection on a road with no incline. |
