bunch of warning lights related to braking system in the morning, went into limp mode, wouldnt shift out of 2nd. believe issue was parked on uphill of driveway and temp drop overnight causing brake fluid to drain away from sensor. parked at slight downhill and went away. code cleared itself after 2-3 startups.

took in car for a couple of things: *rear passenger control arm showing wear per mechanic at last oil change, so getting this replaced and a fresh alignment *major detailing job - after a winter of trips up the mountain every weekend, needs to be polished and waxed and some scratches buffed out. will be like a brand spankin new machine!
