I’m all new to this but I have a couple questions about LR. First question is my side mirrors won’t open back up when the vehicle is started. I have to push the button to make them open. Second question, when I go to put gas in my vehicle for the past few times the vehicle doesn’t want to start. It takes a few minutes and then it starts. But I get a warning about “special programs off”.

If you use the buttons to fold the mirrors when you turn off the car they will not automatically unfold. Is this something new to your car?

Usually messages are caused by a low battery that may need charging. Does your start/stop work on the car, if it does not it is the first sign of a low battery.

Thank you for your reply back. Got the mirrors taken care of. It was just a reset problem. The start/stop button is working. It’s weird because the only time it does this is after I get gas. I’m going to have the auto shop I take my vehicle to look at it. Thanks for your help.

In the past some owners where having problems because they where overfilling the tank.

I assume when you say the car won't start after getting gas, that it cranks over but won't start. If that's the case, there can be a few things that could cause that. Like Bill F said, overfilling can do it. It could also be the evaporative emissions purge valve. You could also have some sediment in the fuel tank that gets stirred up when you add fuel and that blocks the filter. Once that settles it can start. This can definitely happen if you've had to get gas at a sketchy gas station. Places with old rusty tanks that don't change their filters can cause all kinds of problems. It could also be a fuel pump going bad. The pump is inside your fuel tank and gets warm when it's running. Adding cool fuel can make a warm, almost worn out pump motor bind up until the whole thing cools off and then it can start working again. Eventually it will quit working altogether.
