I always reset my trip meter to zero when I drop a vehicle with a valet. I also flip it to another display too, so it's not obvious. It should always show something, but shouldn't be more than a couple 1/10ths of a mile. If it displays more than that, or was reset to zero again, the Valet has some explaining to do! Keeps them honest!

 

Just checked my mpg and it says 11.2 wtf?? Its never that low. Its always around 17-21. And I forgot to check how much gas I had. But I did feel if up on my way home because the gas light went on.

 

For it to drop that low, the jeep must have been idling for a long time.

 

It must have. I mean I don't care anymore since the light hasn't came back on, but will never use valet again. This is the 2nd incident with valet here in Denver. I work at a place where we have valet as well. I hear some crazy stories. I should know better

 

People have reported that code, and often an ETC light, from extended idling.

 

and thats why i dont valet my jeep

 

One of the reasons I OWN a jeep is so I don't have to worry about things like a valet driving it. They are supposed to be tough, right? My '13 has had the light illuminate twice in the first 150 miles. Dealer checked it out, reset it, no worries. All new vehicles (not just Jeeps) tend to have stuff like that happen during break-in as 02 sensors, etc get themselves sorted. I feel sorry for the valet.

 

Valets know this trick, believe me, and will just reset it again at the appropriate point. That said, my company uses valet services routinely and those are good gigs for the parking attendants. It's not like the "old days" when joyriding customer cars was commonplace. These guys make good coin for easy work and don't want to jeopardize their jobs.

 

No need to feel sorry for the valet. I stoped and asked him nicely if anything had happened because my light was on. He right away got snotty and said I must have took it off roading today and that since its lifted it happens all the time... The guy is an idiot if you ask me. That's no way to get a customer to believe nothing happened...

 

Yeah, I get it. I'm in the service biz and I have ZERO sympathy for snottiness.
