What is some of your Pet Peeve's

Especially older vehicles without DRLs. Had that happen just yesterday, deep twilight and someone in a dark gray sedan pulled out with no lights on. Barely saw him. You'd think they'd notice they can't see either.


The auto-off setting on both of my vehicles is momentary contact and defaults to auto if the vehicle is restarted.

Yeah that auto reset has blinded me many times already in the first month of ownership. Working in the shop and every time you turn on the key the freaking lights come on and have to be manually turned off AGAIN.
No problem with normal use but you should be able to turn them off easier than a fuse or connector while working inside a shop. Maybe a "I'm working on it" override.....
As a tech I hate things I can not turn off while doing work and makes it more of a pain
Rant Off.

When I bought my truck a couple years ago, like pretty much every other used vehicle I've bought it only came with one key. Of course, modern vehicles require a locksmith to cut/program the key. Apparently the only way to program the fob part is in the vehicle, key on, engine off. It was raining the day he came to do it, dark enough so the auto-headlights came on. Battery was getting old, and having the headlights on for a half hour drained it enough so it wouldn't start afterwards. I'd gone back in the house to let him do his thing, if I'd know what he was doing I'd have turned the lights off. You'd have thought the locksmith would have noticed, but he was already crabby since he didn't program it right the first time so this was a no-charge callback.
Oh well, winter was coming so the battery would have had to have been replaced anyway...

Secondary peeve, people who don't turn in all the keys/fobs when they trade in a vehicle.
