For some reason, all standard garages don't have the correct equipment to reset warning lights/service intervals (presumably because it's a foreign Lancia in all but name) so I'm going to have to take it to a dealer for services/repairs whenever a warning light is involved.
Oh...and more of a design fault...but the right indicator will click off when you initially turn left (eg when indicating right at a roundabout but initially turn slightly to the left to enter said roundabout.

Passenger speaker has blown so all of my music sounds ruined.
Electric windows rarely do as they are told
Alloys curbed to s
t and I have a slow air leak because of it (previous owner)
ABS light constanty on due to a sensor
Leaks when it wants
Boot light doesn't work
One cloudy headlight and one clear one.
The list goes on, but its my first car so I still believe it to be the best and fastest car ever in the world

Fiat Grande Punto T-Jet.
The bonnet release is pathetic and doesn't "pop" so it gets yanked and the handle gets snapped.
The Radio only works when the engine is off, when it's on I get static.
The blow in the exhaust makes me sound like a chav, but only when I pull away.
The boost gauge doesn't light up.
There's no boot release button on the car, just inside or on the key, funny watching people try and open it when it's in for work or when it's cleaned.
The factory sub in the boot rattles when I go over bumps, and I don't have a socket extension long enough to fit into the hole to tighten it up.
There's no spare wheel.
But it's mine, and I love it.

Front parking sensor's don't always work, so i switch the system off when i start it up now as it throws an error message and stops the full system working.
Sensor's are silly prices and i would need to remove the A bar, headlight guards, headlight's, grill, bumper, front arch liners to get to the loom and sensor's. Which i can't be bothered to do.
My plan is to buy a winch and winch mount which means i will have to get the front's disabled so they will never work again.
Problem solved.

The bulb for the A/C button on my '08 Ka intermittently works - the A/C has always worked, but the LED bulb for the button died when the car was about 2 years old. The only way to fix is remove the control panel from the dashboard, and either replace the unit (£300+ from Ford) or solder a new LED myself. Either way, can't be bothered with that for one little light.
My 350Z starts itself, randomly at night, the engine comes on and idles for several hours.
Well, its just a theory, to explain the fuel consumption as the simple act of driving it should not use that much fuel unless it is doing some kind of Vertical Take off.
Other than that the cd player skips and if you open the window when its been raining it deposits a pint of rainwater down the door card.
