This could cause a gradual loss of battery charge, which would illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp.  Eventually, the engine may stall.  In conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, this could increase the risk of a crash.  In addition, there may be a burning or melting odour, smoke and possibly a fire in the trunk.  These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury.

Cela pourrait causer une diminution graduelle de la charge de la batterie, ce qui ferait allumer le voyant de mauvais fonctionnement. Le moteur pourrait finir par caler. En conjonction avec la densité de la circulation, l'état de la route et les réactions du conducteur, cela pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident. De plus, il pourrait y avoir une odeur de brûlé, de la fumée et, possiblement, un incendie dans le coffre. Ces problèmes pourraient endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un.
