I've seen other posters mention loosing their trip history, but I don't think I've seen a definitive way to reproduce the error.
After 3200 miles on my '02 Touring/Nav, it finally ocurred. The one thing I noticed that I'd never done before: I left the gas filler compartment door open, started the engine, and drove off.
So here's the experiment to prove it (some of these steps might be extra, but I think at first I'd go through them all to try to reproduce the problem, then take steps out):
1) Fill your tank.
2) Put the filler cap back on, but leave the compartment door open.
3) Get in, shut the cab doors.
4) Start the engine.
5) Let nav computer finish booting up.
6) Press the joystick to get rid of the disclaimer screen (that's what I usually do instead of pushing the onscreen OK button).
7) Press the AC/trip button.
8) Note whether the history is erased or not.
By the way, my "reset on refill" option (or whatever it's called) was also magically changed to OFF.
Naturally, since my history just got lost, I can't try this myself for awhile.
