Consumer Description

I INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY IN MY VEHICLE RECENTLY,AFTER REMOVING THE OLD BATTERY I TRIED TO GET THE NEW BATTERY OUT OF THE CAR, WHICH WAS IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR. THE DOORS HAPPENED TO BE LOCKED BUT THE DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW WAS DOWN. WITH THE BATTERY OUT NONE OF THE DOORS WOULD OPEN, I REACHED IN THROUGH THE WINDOW TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AND THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN EITHER. A PERSON COULD EASILY BECOME TRAPPED IN THE CAR IF IT WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION AND THE BATTERY'S ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WERE DAMAGED, THERE WOULD BE NO WAY OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT THIS! *TR
