Electrical annoyances / glitches
What are yours?
Sometimes, my driver door doesn't unlock when I press the fob unlock button. The lights come on, but the door stays locked. I don't even hear the doorlock trying to move. Other times, it works just great.
A couple nights ago, I started my car and then turned the headlights on. The PIAA driving lights came on, but the headlights did not pop up. I turned the light switch all the way off again, and then back on, and the headlights popped up just fine.
Still, I guess it's not quite as bad as my truck, whose windshield wipers will turn on full speed at random times.

I can help on the light problem as I had this happen to me. The switch will need to be replaced soon. It is not cheap as you need to buy the whole "stalk" to fix it. No a hard job but I think it was well over $100 part.
What happens is the switch will trip the parking lights (which will turn on your tail lights and driving and parking lights) but the connection on the actual headlight is never made. You may be able to get by for a while if in a pinch by fliping the switch on and off but if it starts to happen more frequently then I would get a new switch ordered.
