But seriously? I can imagine a few situations where that would be a good thing--but a lot more (like this one) where it would not.

That reminds me; she says the SOS system activated, but never got a person on the other end.
Yes you're right about that but it should only go off in a severe accident, airbags are pretty much a requirement for that.

If there was airbag deployment that does seem like the likely cause.

OP unless this was a big big rear end accident, the battery charge should not have tripped.
