My suggestion is :- Don't let me down now!!!! "Don't bail out on me" would be more for a person who was helping you but wanted to stop and leave you to finish the task alone, particularly if the task is difficult and really needs more than one person.

Tomercan you say "Come on, Don't bail on me now" ?
Why not? People often talk to their equipment.

To bail on someone is usually considered a deliberate human act of cowardice - or an abrogation of responsibility. It's something you do to someone else. To accuse your car of this would be an example of the "figure of speech" known
