I was so embarassed today!!!

JZNx · 10-04-2013, 12:06 PM

Lol i went to the dealership today because i had check engine light... But turns out it was a "check tire pressure" warning. The funniest of all is, this happened to me maybe couple months ago and i filled the air myself and everything was fine... Idk how i made a such careless mistake and got them two mixed up... I felt like the biggest noob when the guyLol and i was gonna post pix but i was lazy... Lol i hope u guys got a good laugh outta this and enjoy ur rest of the day!

thank you for being honest

Ghostvette · 10-04-2013, 12:41 PM

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.

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.

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.

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 ***.

Yeah, sounds like it was just the kneejerk "OH SH*T YELLOW/ORANGE/RED LIGHTS ARE BAD" reaction. I've done it. The first time I saw the TPMS light I freaked and pulled over to the side of the road. Had to pull out the user manual to see what that light meant. (First car I've owned with a TPMS)

^^^this for sure!! Lol!!

My dumbarse story: (and i usually call Onzedge freaking out)
MY HATCH HAS A HUGE GAP! I was washing it and THE SUDS AND WATER ARE INSIDE THE HATCH!! OMG!! WHATS WRONG WITH MY CAR !!!!

Onze: calm down and check the rubber stops. Did you wash around those? If you did one of them has probably twisted out a bit and is preventing the hatch from closing all the way. Check and call me back.
