My battery did not need to be replaced, but it was dead and the spoiler deployed because of the 'not firmly closed trunk roadster' issue. That happened to me twice when I first bought the car, and then again just a couple of weeks ago when my husband unloaded groceries and did not close the trunk firmly. He has now learned the lesson. I was kind about it but also a bit smart-alecky too. He knows how I feel about that car.....
