Lawsuit Says Mustang Mach-E Does Are Dangerous

I recently got locked in my gas car (non-Ford) when the battery shifted after hitting a pothole.  I called my wife, released the hood latch and instructed her to jiggle the battery.  She was too inept to do so, but a man and his son's at the gas station I was stuck at lent a manly hand and I was able to get out.

 

I'm just saying these sort of issues are not exclusive to this Ford product.

I thought a manual backup was required inside on all cars?

An issue mentioned in video was possible urgency to open any door from outside if a pet or child is stuck inside when battery dies, or any other electrical issue that causes failure.  One can argue it shouldn’t happen at all, but if it did, then what?  In extreme case breaking window could/should work.  I can also imagine getting locked out in horrible weather or unsafe area and wanting to wait for help while inside car.  The procedure to attach jumper cables and charge battery, assuming it works at all, doesn’t sound all that quick in the first place.

Breaking the window isn’t extreme in an emergency.
