wha ha ha..... i read somewhere else in the forums that if you drop a coin in the center console it can have something to do with it! well earlier i dropped some coins down there so right away i went and checked it out.... took the coins out and bam!!! no more fail safe mode... so now i have to drive it home cuz im at work about 20 miles from home, and hopefully it doesn't come back on! so right now im happy/scared for my car.
