    I had a Mazda 3 MPS - constant red lights on the dashboard. Always in at the dealer who said there were no issues.

    In the end they reclassifed the warnings as ambers and said just leave it until the next time you bring it in.

    Invariably the light would go off by itself in the meantime.

    Tyre sensors. Most pointless thing I have ever experienced. I am no genius with cars but I am capable of spotting a flat tyre on my own!

    My a class used to drive me crazy. it would randomly not start all the lights would come on. you'd have to get out lock the car and reopen it and then it might work sometimes it would take 30 seconds some times 30 minutes. Called Mercedes so many times and took it for a diagnositc couldn't find anything wrong with it. it used to happen at the most annoying times like if you stopped at services on your way somewhere. then it wouldn't do it for months. Was part of the reason I got rid of it as wasn't willing to spend any more money on trying to diagnose it, I miss a lot of the tech in it though.

    There was a 'do not drive' red warning that intermittently came on. Mazda dealer could not find the reason.

    A £10 OBD2 plug-in from Amazon found it

    Exhaust pressure sensor. Who knew you needed such a thing..?

    quite good at an early warning though if you have a slow puncture. I had a nail in my tyre after a trip to silverstone. car felt fine and the tyres looked good but the sensors showed the pressure was down. glad I spotted it then and not halfway down the motorway.

    Ah, the old 'open the driver's door and close it' reboot technique.

    yep, definitely some sort of software problem I think.

    Mine were very good at telling me I had a flat tyre when I didn't. Every 30 seconds or so, with a beep that was clearly designed to be ****ing irritating.

    I was so happy when the garage told me they could just take them off

    A week later I had a flat tyre..... fortunately I spotted it myself.

    useless ****s.
    I was constantly being pinged with the most annoying ping sound ever invented that the driver assist functions were not available.

    I pointed out to VW that I didn't want or need them so was happy for them to be turned off. They told me that was not possible. I told them the configuration had a setting that allowed you to turn some of them off. They told me it didn't work.

    That was the one thing it is exceptionally good at, telling me that driver assist functions that I didn't want, didn't need, and that didn't work, were not available.
