This was an Issue with Omni we replaced the battery compartment 2-3 times in 5 years of ownership.
Have faced breakdowns in My dad & uncles cars
Premier Padmini 84 model: On a highway The oil reservoir's(was that an oil pump? don't remember now was a kid then
) pipe got cut with engine all over the place. We had oil fumes inside the cabin. It wasn't a complete breakdown as we drove a few kms where we found a mech
Another time the accelerator wire's lock dropped midway so we had to tie it with a rope
Premier 77 model: Battery compartment melted due to acid & broke terminal clamp had tough time making it hold. There were more & solving them DIY was fun
But none of the above issues were complete breakdowns & we were able to solve almost all of them on the spot.
