I think the Engine Coolant Sensor has gone crazy, as the temps are fine when I pop the hood.

I'm not sure if it's the brake fluid that's missing or something else is up, VDC, ABS and slip lights only go on when I'm doing a u-turn or something, hope it's not the 4WAS acting up.

Oh and it looks like your dash is peeling up in the top left corner. Have the dealer fix it if you're gonna be taking it.

Even after several hot laps around the track my temp needle doesn't rise that high.. Definitely time to take her in Sam.

Did you ever take your car in to the dealership Sam? What was causing this problem? Curious? Hope you got it fixed.

Sorry for not updating this thread, turns out there was some sort of leak in of the coolant hoses which confused the temp gauge

Some ABS related sensor was also malfunctioning and was replaced

All under warranty
