I have heard some cars have faulty ports, especially the first ones. Never used the port until today, we'll see what happens from now on. It seems the ECU was in a strange state, I went to the dealer on saturday so I don't know if they did something.
My idle was dropping too much when I coasted to a stop and had the AC on, I asked the dealer to check the ECU version but they said it had the latest, no updates were done according to their report.

Didn't check to see if any of the pins was bent, will do that if I continue to have issues.
