dunno, never done that. Maybe these new fangled electronics are meant to do that?
Is it possible that the "little black box"
(that stores the last 5sec of info from the pcm)
was triggered pretty hard and thats whats making the electronics screw up? That way your forced to go and file the crash with the dealership?
Just my little half-cocked conspiracy theory
