Check ESC and Electric Vacuum Pump Warranty Denial

Disclaimer: Not my picture, but this is what it looked like.

While I was visiting family 4 hours from where I live the “check ESC” & “electronic vacuum pump” warning lights popped up as well as the parking brake light when the parking brake was not on. I drove a few miles and then turned it off then started it again about a day later and drove home. The car drove normally for the entire four hour trip and my drive to work this morning. The light popped up again as I was turning my car off in the driveway about an hour ago.

I made an appointment originally when it first came on and the lady on the phone told me that if the light wasn’t actively on the dash they would not honor the warranty in fixing it. Does anybody else have experience with this or an issue similar to this?

Am I just supposed to drop everything that I’m doing when the light pops up and drive straight to the dealership so they can fix it? The lady said they can get a reader and tell that the code was thrown before but they won’t fix it because there’s “not actively anything wrong”.

Edit: I bought the car new in November 2025 and it has 11,000 miles on it.

I (26M) fear it has begun…

The first three pictures are the front, side, and back of my head. The last three are with my hair dry and not styled, pulled back and forward, and wet fresh out of the shower.

My dad and my mother’s father have been bald my entire life. I have had my hair long for the last couple of years so I never really noticed my scalp showing until I took a picture after a shower.

I just want to at least make it until 30 before it gets really bad.

Edit: I forgot to add a picture of my hairline. My hairline is very much an M shape. My hair is just currently long enough to cover it up. The temples are about an inch further back than the middle.
