“ON OCTOBER 28, 2020, I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET TO WORK, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP AND SAW A BRIGHT FLASH. ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME COME THEN AFTER A SECOND EVERYTHING SHUT OFF. THE CAR STOPPED, BUT STILL ROLLING I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR, BUT I COULDN'T. THE LOCKS WOULD NOT MOVE, ON EITHER DOOR. NOT MANUALLY. I WAS TRAPPED INSIDE. THANK GOODNESS THE CAR DIDN'T START A FIRE, BECAUSE I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT. NOT BY OPENING THE DOORS MANUALLY. THE METAL POLE THAT HOLDS THE HOOD UP CAME LOOSE SOMEHOW AND HIT THE BATTERY, WHICH MADE A SHORT AND SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN. REGARDLESS, THE CAR SHOULD UNLOCK MANUALLY IF THE POWER LOCKS DON'T WORK. I COULDN'T UNLOCK FROM INSIDE BY PULLING THE HANDLE OR THE LOCKS WOULD NOT MOVE/OPEN.”
