I checked my battery as well and sure enough the black fitting was disconnected from the battery itself. It didn't look broken or anything- I just plugged it right back in and it seemed secure enough. Anyone think there would be a problem with just taping or otherwise securing it in place so it doesn't come out again?
Battery Update
Just had my 2.0 tranny update done as well as the battery replacement update. After coming home I always check out what was done. When I looked at the new battery I noticed that the breather tube was broken off. Obviously the new battery is a different shape, so when the tech placed the styrofoam foot rest back in he snapped it off by accident. I called the dealer & they sent a new breather hose. I had to carve out the styrofoam so it would not happen again.
Just thought it would be a good idea to pass this along so we don't get overcome by venting battery gases. Lets see how long it takes SMART corporate to figure this one out!
