I hate that I’ve got a 2011 Sonata. Battery is dead in garage, fine. But can I get the car out of garage ? No.
Cannot shift into neutral without power. So I cannot push it out. Cannot jump it to another vehicle in the garage.

Safety police rule the day. Need brake pressure interlock to sense and let me shift. That’s electric.

Forced to replace battery in the exact position it died in. Cannot charge either. Under charge it goes up to 8 volts, floats down to 4 volts.
