My car locks and unlocks itself when i stop, is this something i should be concerned with or is it just an annoyance i can forget about the car is cheap so not wanting to spend alot of money on it.
View 10 RepliesThis started happening a couple days ago, after turning off the car and attempting to lock the car with the handle button, it will lock (no beep) then unlock- the same way it would if there were keys left inside. The only other set of keys are at my house, so I know that's not the issue. Doesn't do it all the time, but enough to be annoying. Same thing happens if I use the remote- lock, no beep, unlocks. The only way I can get it to beep and stay locked is to open the pass side door and lock it with the pass side door button.
View 14 RepliesI just got my beautiful accent but the locks sometimes lock and unlock on their own! I think its just a grounded out wire. It doesn't happen all that often but I would like to get it fixed. Also the window switch doesn't work on the passenger side. The only thing that will make it go up and down is the switch on the drivers side.

I just programmed a new eBay key fob today and it works fine to lock/unlock the car (programmed using the 1 key in ignition, other in door method). It locks and unlocks all doors including the trunk, but when I try to start the car with it, it starts, then dies right away...guessing something to do with Immo2?
When I use the fob to lock the '02 Santa Fe, the passenger door lock (only when hot outside) locks then unlocks. You can tell because you hear the locks cycle twice in rapid succession. If I use the key in the passenger door and lock the car, no issues; or if it's cool out no issues so something is expanding or dragging when it's hot. Where do I start the trouble shooting? The lock, the cables, the actuator?

View 9 RepliesBought the car 3 days ago, 2013 40000m silver SE 5spd, manual ... pretty nice over all, but those rear door locks trying to lock every time I stop and go over 10mph is driving me crazy. So after researching, I ended up to the conclusion that I have to replace them both, and put the sleeves/covers that they came up with.
View 5 RepliesOne thing I'm not liking quite as well with my Passat as my previous car is that in my old car when I turned off the engine it would unlock all the doors. The Passat only unlocks the drivers door. I'd like to have the other doors unlocked as well for when I have the kids with me. Is there any way to set it to do this?
View 5 RepliesHaving issue with the paint on either the radio buttons or unlock buttons or any in general were they are peeling? Mine look terrible now and was wondering if there is a way to fix them. Do they sell any pre-cut adhesive ones?

View 1 RepliesMy 99 passat has this very annoying habit of rolling down all the windows and unlocking the doors some random amount of time after I lock the car. Could it be a bad ECU under the driver's seat? I'm ready to push the car off a cliff!
View 3 RepliesI've got a 1997 F-250 that as soon as you put it in gear to go forward, the doors lock as is the norm on these "new" vehicles. My complaint is that when you stop an get out, the drivers side unlocks, BUT the passenger side doesn't. THEN invariably I go around to get something out of the passenger side and its LOCKED. That's when my blood pressure goes into orbit. A trip to my dealer yielded no cigar. He stated that some models could be tricked into unlocking, but not this one.
View 4 RepliesI have a 1998 Honda CRV and the power locks stop working. I have tried both remotes and neither remote works. The control on the drivers side door doesn't work either. The back door doesn't work either via the remote only by pushing the button inside. In order to lock the car, I have to use the key.
View 4 RepliesI tried to start my 2005 Prius this morning and a high pitched noise started (the same noise that happens when you hit the power button without having your foot on the brake). The emergency light was locked on as well as a message on the display screen about setting the emergency brake. This has happened one other time an after about two minutes the noise stopped, and I was able to start the car. This time the noise and lock remained for about 20 minutes until we disconnected the battery in the back. We re-attached the battery after we removed the ignition key and after a few moments all the power seemed to be gone. The fob doesn't work at all and the electronic lights and dash flickered and faded out. Our gut instinct is that the battery needs to be replaced. Was it the 12V battery?
View 5 RepliesI have the problem that my 1996 ranger 4x4 has a break problem. When it comes to a stop it feels like one of the tires locks up, feel wired. Ihad the problem before i changed the front breakpads and it still continues. Air in the lines? ABS module?
View 6 RepliesI'm driving a 2006 4cyl LX Sonata. Just started past 3 months. Intermittently and usually after long freeway driving, the pwr steering locks-up as I come to a stop. Example is driving off the freeway via a ramp and stopping . Steering breaks loose if I apply pressure and goes back to normal. Fluid has been checked for level but not replaced.
View 3 RepliesI have a 2011 Camry LE and recently both rear door locks stopped responding to any form whether using the key fob or driver door controls(I have to manual lock and unlock the rear doors)However the rear windows work fine, which indicates the rear doors receiving power. This is really inconvenient. Looking for a clue to what's going on? Only the front doors (driver and front passenger) are operating properly.

View 2 RepliesThis morning when I tried to start my passat I got a number of errors. The car was running fine last night. I had to use all of my keys I had to get it started. At first there was a Air Bag Fault message, and the car would turn over but it wouldn't let itself run. After changing keys I got it started, however none of the gears show up on the LCD. At that time I got the stop low oil pressure light.
When I tried to start the car a third time it told me the car was immobilized. Since then I managed to get the car in the driveway, and now it starts up every time, not like it is immobilized, but I still get the air bag fault and the low oil pressure. Further the RPM's go up when the care starts but then the gauge bounces from 0 to around 1,000 when it is started, and the temp gauge is non functional. The engine itself holds a normal even idle.

When I turn off the ignition, the drivers door lock unlocks or pushes the arm through the door for up to 30-60 seconds over and over again. I would say like 10 times and it is annoying as hell.
Is the only part in the door that controls this the actuator or is there something else that can be doing this?
I have a 2003 B5.5 1.8T. Recently i started hearing a weird noice in the back of my car like something is loose or rolling around. Had the brakes checked and everything is fine. You only hear it when you stop real sudden or take off real sudden. You can hear it on the inside too but its much louder with the window down.
