JZNx, I can relate. I had the 'yellow warning triangle' pop up over the weekend and I kind of freaked out a little (car has less than 4K on the odometer). I was like 'aw crap, what did I do?' Turns out, it was the 'low fuel' warning, I was at 2 dots on the fuel gauge. Now I feel a little

this sounds like my mom many yrs ago when her lexus had the PWR mode (?) turned on by accident on her AT...

there should be a test people must pass before buying these cars.

wat is TPMS? how is it different from PMS?
wat is VDC? how effective is it when a dumbarse driver uses it while hitting tree?
wat is RACECAR?
wat is a Non-Aspirated engine? How does it differ from Naturally-Aspirated engines?

I went to the dealer once on another car after I had washed and cleaned it because the passenger window would not go up any more. Apparently I hit the window lock button. They didn't believe I had the car for 5 years and didn't check that first.

Yeah you look like a real idiot trying to troubleshoot why your window doesnt work. I did this about a month ago.

I once had to panic stop because this b!tch merged over without looking at me 55s/22w. I jabbed the breaks hard and then my tire maintenance light came on. It was 5k into the car and didnt know what to do until I realized it was just a maintenance light.

Why do we have this feature? To lock the driver out of window roll up? Passenger yes.

I have a wall switch in my house. I never use it as I use another switch that powers the other. Every few years some exterminator, cable guy, wife, etc throws the wall switch and I spend quite a bit of time figuring out what happened. When I remember finally I get mad at myself for wasting all this time.

I did this on my Eclipse about 4 years into ownership. The only time I've ever used that button was on accident that one time.

On the Eclipse as well, I've had the check engine light come on just because I didn't click the fuel cap three clicks. It then stays on for days before going off, just long enough for you to worry about what might be wrong.

First time I was low on gas and my yellow triangle came on, I had a mini panic attack. Thought it was an SES light for a second! They should have made it a little gas tank indication or 'Fuel' that lights up.

Oh man, when I had my mazda 6 I called the dealership up cause the check engine light was on. Conversation went like this... "hello, I need to make an appointment because the check water pump light is on..." Dealer: "huh? the what light is on?" me: "You know the check water pump light" Dealer: "ummmm suuure, bring it on in and we will check it out"

I didnt realize what I said until after I hung up the phone. I actually did keep my appointment but made my ex wife drop it off and pick it up

With my first car I once freaked out when I put my backpack in the passenger seat and the seat belt warning light came on. It didn't click that the backpack was heavy enough to trigger that and I got scared and pulled off the road and turned everything off. I thought that my driver seat-belt was malfunctioning, and being the paranoid new driver I panicked. Made my dad drive 20 minutes to me to throw my backpack in the trunk and call me a dumb ***.
