Phaeton :: Cracking / Squeaking Sound From Dashboard


Oct 8, 2012

i get a cracking, squeaking sound when I ride over a hard ripple on the road. It's usually from the right side of the Dashboard. How can I remove or adjust the Dashboard? Now that my little one is 8 years old, it's developing squeaking. What parts can i "oil" up to reduce this?

I get a annoying cracking noise when I am driving and it is hot outside, have not noticed it in cooler weather, but as soon as the car has been sitting for hours in the heat and I start driving the dashboard seems to crack every few minutes. it seems like it happened on the corners where the tweeters are. I also get a crackiling sound when driving, sounds like rocks are hitting my window.

Phaeton :: Stock Wheels Cracking?

This is the second wheel that I'm replacing due to a crack in the wheel itself (where it meets the tire). Roads aren't the best, but with mostly highway driving and taking care not to hit any potholes, I'm surprised that the wheel cracked. Had to replace the wheel due to cracking? and by any chance, is it covered under CPO?

Lexus SC430 :: 2002 Cracking Sound From Behind The Air Vents When Accelerating

I have a high mileage 2002 SC430.

I have noticed that when I start the engine on a cold morning and start driving right away I hear a distinct "cracking" sound from behind the air vents (dash area) when accelerating. This only occurs when the engine is cold and when I am accelerating, this does not occur when the car is parked (I have not tried revving the engine when the car is parked, since it doesn't seem like a good idea).

A a side note, I do typically move the temperature setting to the max of 85 degrees on cold mornings, but the cracking sound often comes up 5-10 minutes after I change the temperature setting. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: 2012 RX350 Squeaking Noise From Dashboard When Cold

Got my CPO 2012 RX350 in July, everything has been great

winter has been tough here in the north with -30 Celsius (-22 F) every other week. when it's that cold there's squeaking noise from the dashboard / windshield area. mainly from the intersection of both.

Once the car is out of the garage it's ok for a few minutes then noise starts. this only happens if the weather is colder than -10 C (14 F) (i can't blame the car as my bones squeak when it's colder than-10 ) This is definitely an expansion/contraction issue.

The dealer indicated that they will have to remove the dashboard to fix the problem and recommended that I wait towards the end of the warranty, observe other issues and fix all at once as multiple removal of the dashboard may bring new problems (i.e. snapped pieces may get loose).

Toyota - Camry :: Loud POP And Rat-tat-tat Cracking Sound From Engine When Driving On Freeway

I have a 1999 Toyota Camry 2.2 4cyl with 220K+ miles.

I was driving on the freeway when I heard a loud "POP" and rat-tat-tat cracking sound from my engine. I managed to pull over on the road where the car rolled to a stop. I tried to start up the car and the starter cranked, but the engine wouldn't start.

I thought it might be a broken timing belt since a similar situation happened to a family member (who was driving another Camry) a couple of years ago, and we were able to fix the car by changing the worn down timing belt. So today I spent all day taking things apart and finally got to the timing belt, but to my surprise, the belt looks completely fine.

I fear I might've actually blown the engine but don't know how to diagnose this.

Ford Brakes/Suspension :: Cracking / Metal Stress Sound From Under Truck

I have a '06 F150 King Ranch with a after market lift. I sometimes hear a cracking, metal stress sounding noise from under the right side under carriage, I thought is was my brakes or shocks or something. If I take a right turn down an angle while braking or it happened during a rainy day going straight at a slight downward incline during braking, there's a knocking like pac..pac..pac..pac sound from under my rear or sometimes front passenger side fender well. I've taken it to a brake specialist and had it inspected by a mechanic, but no visible signs of a problem. What this might be? I told my brake specialist to check my anti lock system as the sound is evenly spaced and he said nothing is wrong.

Lexus LS 2007+ :: Oscillating Squeaking Noise Coming From Passenger Side Of Dashboard

Recently (last three months really), I've been noticing an oscillating squeaking noise coming from the passenger side of the dashboard on my '07 LS460. I've troubleshot the problem and have it isolated to coming on only when the A/C is turned on (recirculated or outside air- doesn't matter). When the A/C is off, the sound goes away.

No other squeaking noises at all coming from anywhere else on the car.

I have a sneaking suspicion it's related to the tensioner belt connected to the Air Conditioner, but I'm honestly not sure at all.

Might this be a more relatively simple belt issue? A/C is running pretty much all the time when the car is on- wouldn't be surprised at all if we've simply worn the belt through.

I found this link outlining a similar problem, but again- I'm not entirely sure I want to go the route of the full tensioner assembly replacement if it's likely just a belt: [URL] ....

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Entune / Pandora Popping / Cracking Sound From Speakers

Whenever I use the pandora app on the nav system my speakers always make a popping/cracking sound. It's not too loud but it can get a little annoying after a while. I do listen to my music loud but I don't think it's the speakers because when I switch to satellite radio or listen to my iPod, the popping stops.

Prius (2004-09) :: Cracking Sound Coming From Steering Wheel / Intermittent Vibration

In my 2006 Prius, I just started noticing this recently, but whenever I turn my steering wheel, it makes a weird noise and I can feel something going on through the steering wheel. It doesn't impede my steering, the car steers just fine... It's just an add sound, I don't want to say a cracking sound... but it kind of is? I don't know. I'll have to put a video of it up. & it doesn't matter which way I turn it, it still makes the weird sound and the intermittent vibration... I know it has E-steering and occasionally you can here the motor whirring when you turn it but this is different, it's a loud... popping noise is the word for it! Popping, and I can feel it when it pops through the steering wheel. Again, it doesn't impede the steering ability at all, but something isn't right I'm sure... Or maybe it's normal.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Squeaking Noise From Dashboard When Driving Over Rough Road Surfaces And Speed Bumps

I have an RX 450H and noticed that there is a squeaking sound coming from the dashboard. I looked at other posts where people were experiencing similar issues and noticed one post where someone had a GS 450H and fixed this issue by adding felt between the dashboard and the windscreen.

I would like to know whether this method works 100% and whether I can apply this method to the RX 450H. The noise becomes worse when it is cold and especially when the car is being driven over rough road surfaces and speed bumps.

Phaeton :: No Lights In Dashboard

I have a problem with Phaeton dashboard. There are no more lights in dashboard (speedometer, tachometer, etc.)

The small screen between speedometer and tachometer works just fine. If I use + and - buttons (which are designed to operate dashboard lights), the only thing that works - red arrows. I mean that red arrows in speedometer and tachometer DO LIGHT, but everything else remains black. No matter what position lights switch is in, dashboard has no lights.

It has happened when local dealer has updated engine software, but now they tell me it's a dashboard problem and they have nothing to do about it (unless I will pay for new dashboard). I guess software updating to version 0223 (I have 0220 now) won't work?

Phaeton :: Dashboard Not Illuminated After Starting The Car

The other night after starting the car I noticed that the dashboard was not illuminated. When I moved the headlight switch to the "headlight" setting from the "automatic" setting--the dashboard lights went on.

When I moved the switch back to automatic, the dashboard lights went off again. Adjusting the intensity using the appropriate switches did nothing. An hour later everything worked normally once again.

Phaeton :: Vehicle Too Low Sign Popped Up On Dashboard

I have a 2004 3.2 V6, which I have had for several months now and it's great. This morning when I took the car out of the garage, I heard a beep and a red 'Vehicle too Low' sign popped up on the dashboard. On a careful and steady short drive to work, I noticed that my suspension felt light and that regular bumps on the road felt more pronounced, also the front of the car looks slightly lower than the back.

Phaeton :: Exhaust Warning Light On Dashboard

I have a warning light on dashboard and bleep saying "Workshop Exhaust" and showing orange engine icon.

This first happened when I bought the car in November 2014, then went off after about two days, but is becoming more frequent two or three times a month.

I travel about a mile and a half to work each day, and have a longer run usually once a month, I have been told to select 3rd gear and when warm to drive for perhaps 10 miles to clear any build up of emissions.
