Stop in for a cup of coffee

Morning men. So about 2pm yesterday my wife calls from work, "Help, my car wont start". So I drive 40 minutes, have a small Generator and a fast charger, 2017 Edge sport. Keyless ignition. . So, I get there, no way to unlock to car, the battery is dead and there is no key hole to unlock. Wait!! ye there is a key hole, you just have to pry off a cover on the door handle! There it is!! Next, she parked so close to the wall in front, can get the hood opened. AND cant get it out of gear with a dead battery. Sum *****!! Electric parking brake. O yea as soon as I opened the car, sure enough the headlight switch was on. Had to pull the damn thing back with a chain and my truck, dragging the tires, Get the hood opened, smooth from there. What a ***** all electric everything. Charged the Batt, checked the ALT, was fine.

I hate that they have removed the key from the passenger door (cost saving... :mad: :icon_fU:)....

When I wrecked my Impala, the driver's fender got pushed back and I could not open the driver's door... When I drove it home, the headlight stayed on (the other one was taken out n the accident) ... I had to unplug the headlight so it didn't drain my battery as with no way to unlock the door with a dead battery, I couldn't get in my car as the driver door was not an option... I couldn't open the hood as it was too damaged from the accident... :icon_fU: :mad:

I hate cost reductions.... :mad: :mob:

If you haven't noticed back around 2003, Chrysler removed the tint strip along the top of the windshield as a cost reduction... :icon_fU: :mad:

I think that's total bs.... :bs_flag:
