I've come close to turning off the car a few times...

I have a Pioneer Avic-F700 headunit and you push in the volume wheel to trigger the voice command prompt. Since the volume wheel and start button are less than two inches apart I have found my finger hovering over the wrong button when I don't look down to push the button.

That could of been bad in the middle of traffic.

Oh you're a special breed. Did the dealer give you a helmet on the way out???

Jk.. I mean, these are pretty funny problems, and if it happens enough for you to have to make a thread about it, well idk lol.

However, one time I did press the start button while driving because, in a panic, I needed to shut the music off lol. Luckily the car didn't shut off.

i always screw up the steering wheel volume. i think the track / station up/down switch should be volume and the volume should be for switching track / station. id swap them if i could figure it out lol

and yeah, done the slam hand into window trying to wave thing. i have a wrangler, and i'm used to doing the jeep wave. not many Z's wave back. lol

does anyone else get a kick out of the rear view camera and seeing the exhaust when its cold out? dat dual exhaust doe. lol

I use cotton swabs in the hard to reach spots of the wing. Never tried to start the car with any other button.

I have jammed my fingers a few times when trying to use a detail spray and micro fiber towel to get up underneath the rear spoiler. There are a couple of tight little places up in there.

I have also had a hard time pressing the right sequence of the 2 buttons when a maintenance message pops up for an oil change etc. in order to re-set them

Does your radio button light up with "Start Stop"?
