Hatch Door Not Opening

Dont know if this has happened to anyone else but my friends battery died and he was no longer able to open the back latch until he recharged the battery. Was this just his or will this happen to everbody?

the rear latch release is electronically controlled when you push that the button so it makes sense that it wouldnt work until you recharged the battery.

The moral of the story is to NOT keep your jumper cables in the back. :D

The hatch on the xB has an electronic actuator (sp?) It will happen to everyone. I believe that its mechanical on the xA though so it shouldnt happen.
