I just think it is funny that a car needs an info light like that on it. I wonder if I would be able to take Mitsu to court because the warning light on the car states that the roads are icy, but in actuallity they are not, and that effects my mind on how I drive.

its a yellow caution warning for possibly icy roads. It comes on for any temp reading below 3*C and is designed to wake a tunnel vision driver up and make them aware of possible road conditions. sure it can be annoying, but taking them to court is probably the biggest most epic fail ive seen on these forums yet.

First of all for all you wannabee expert lawyers, the icy road lawsuit was a joke, no zhit it wouldn't work, thanks for the advice though.
Secondly, my post was not asking people on what they think of the icy roads warning. The forum is for RA complaints and that was one of the complaints I had. If I needed an opinion on that topic I would've asked a question. I am actually smart enough to figure out that when the temperature drops and it's cold outside, the road may be icy, that is how I got around since I was 16, so that is why the computer warning is annoying, along with the TPMS. If you need that warning, you probably should not be driving a car in the first place. Now thats my rant.

I cant stand the fact that when I want to top off the gas tank before a long trip i have to pump the gas handle a bajillion times after it has reached the top somewhat. There is still two gallons left to fill.

Have u tried using the low speed setting at the pump? The high speed for some reason trips off early for me sometimes.

It happens at low as well. It just sucks. I thought about carrying a 2 gallon just to make it less of a hassle.

If it's stopped and it's idling at 2k, that's not weird, that's not normal.

If you mean that as you're coasting, you expect the clutch to disengage and freewheel, that's up to the computer. Sometimes it engine brakes and your motor will be doing 2k with your foot off the gas.
