You might try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes then re-connect, to see if that will clear the system.

You sure the button hasn't been punched, "off" ...

I brought the car back to the dealership today since the thing is less than a week old and after they checked it, decided they would keep it for the night... They really didn't know what the problem is so we'll see tomorrow I guess

Actually I haven't yet, but I'll take note not to go looking until the temperature gets back up again...

When you are stuck in traffic while leaving a highway, you aren't exactly expecting TC to be an issue... I never usually touch the TC on the road but I was stuck in traffic... Blame it on my ADD
