WOW my Car has so many quirks! but i have no idea what any of them ARE or DO!
So my car has like 6 Quirks at this point But far as can tell NONE OF THEM actually seem to do anything. At least nothing immediately noticeable. As a result i am completely CLUELESS has to what to input into the Tuning machine to Fix them. And gathering enough Energy to INVESTIGATE all of them is not exactly something I wish to do.

So.... Anyone got any idea what these quirks might be and how to fix them?

you can upgrade the quirks finding station, it will allow you to spend stable energy to reveal some aspect of the quirk.

but yeah half of the time it's so minor you won't noticed it

I have. But yeah its like "Um.... what exactly is wrong with the car? Seems Fine". I guess you can just sit in the garage and FLIP every switch and PRESS EVERY button in the car till you notice something ODD happen.

one of the quirks i found was "every door closes > dome light opens" lol might aswell only actually investigate when its noticeable

It's also worth noting many quirks are so minor they're not worth noting. I factor them into three tiers, and I'll list some examples for each.

Easily ignored: these ones have effects to minor you may not notice them at all. One I had was when the wheel was turned right, the headlights got brighter. I never noticed this one. Had to hint my way through it.

Minor annoyances: these will be easily noticed, but won't do anything to harm your car's performance. I had one where if the wheel was sharply turned left, the radio would toggle on and off. Another one was if the windshield wipers were on, the fuel indicator would start "wiping" back and forth with them. Again, nothing that will hurt you, but may annoy you.

Major problems: these can and will cause major issues if left unchecked, and if you're out on a run, you'll probably want to get back and fix these asap. The two examples I have are: "when the shifter is in park, the trunk opens" and "when the car hits anything, a random door opens." These not only remove your in-car protections (if your settings are on "when the doors are shut") but also increase the damage these doors take, and risk even falling off the car entirely.

Very true. The best 2 Areas to investigate are certainly the 2 PARTS lists. That is 2 Stable energy to narrow it down (for both lists). So you can figure out WTF is going on.

Turns out most of those Quarks really didn't do anything and SOME might have actually been helpful. Like "steering wheel > turns left > headlights > Brighten" or "When Battery is Full > heads up display starts up faster". WHY IS THAT LAST ONE EVEN A QUARK?!

Well i managed to fix em all, and yeah most of them where Easily Ignored. Some i dare say where even helpful.

This. I have 4 or 5 quirks at the moment and only know what one of them is (open the hood and the right front door opens). They don’t seem to affect my typical gameplay so I’m ignoring them.

The problem with leaving too many minor quirks unresolved is they become an obfuscation in identifying a major one that requires resolution in order to keep safely navigating the zone.

It's really annoying when that happens, so I've gotten into the habit of solving them as soon as they come up, no matter how small, benign, or even beneficial they might be.

They seem to “respawn” as quick as I solve them. I could solve them all and easily come back with 2 new ones, possibly worse ones.

It’s also worth noting that quirks can and seem to eventually fall off and go away on their own. I had one where putting the car in park opened the front passenger door. I left it since half the time I was parking was to go get an anchor and so I needed that door open anyway. It eventually cured itself and one day I realized it wasn’t happening anymore.

You can discover the quirks without fixing them. That way, if you get any new ones you can easily narrow down which ones you know not to fix.
I had one that was "Steering wheel hard turn headlights dim". It was a pretty annoying one at night.

Yeah, but see, the point I'm making is that simply identifying quirks and not resolving them does not remove the affected components from being identified as "quirky" on the diagnostic screen. So, when there's a new quirk that happens to be affecting the same or connected components in a different, more undesirable way, it gets trickier to suss them out from the ones you already identified.
