Have personally seen this in a Dodge SUV. Owner decided to save on the $600 new battery quote from the dealer and installed his own. Maybe disconnected for 15 minutes. Car was locked out when he tried to start. Tow and reset pretty much put him back to the $600 quote.
Doesn't seem to be a problem with these. Hundreds have done it. It also fixes an amazing array of things that you would never guess it would.
