What, an auto manufacturer exhibiting common sense? Inconceivable! shocked

I know this is an old thread, but I thought of it when I was changing the battery on my Traverse. Turns out the remote posts are due to the fact that the battery isn't in the engine compartment; its under the floor behind the passenger seat.

So much for being due to common sense!
