When I went out to my Touareg on my second day of ownership, I unlocked with the key fob and then heard this buzzing/humming sound from the back half of the vehicle. I would equate it to an electric antenna raising or lowering. It lasted about 4 seconds. When I stopped, locked and left the car for a few hours and returned, it did not happen.
View 8 RepliesThe back seat of my B6 rattles (more like a buzzing noise) when going over bumps. It makes that noise over bumps even if the seat is folded down.
View 5 RepliesOn more than one occasion, when I have gone in my garage at around 5 a.m., I hear a hum/buzz coming from the back end of my Prius. It has to come from the battery pack because the sound seems to come from under the back end of the car and is not as audible when I open the hatch.
View 2 RepliesEvery so often, and only when turning left at a very slow speed, just for a spilt second there is a high frequency buzz that I can feel through the steering wheel. It makes no sense but I can only assume that it has something to do with the power steering. I have driven a lot of vehicles in my life and this is a new one for me.

View 1 RepliesStarted losing pressure on my clutch pedal yesterday. When I would push in the clutch pedal it would not push back up to the reset position. It would only come back up half the way. Now today I have a steady ABS light and ASR light on. Checked for fault codes and found no trouble code. Checked brake fluid resevoir for leaks; still has plenty of fluid. Checked slave cylinder bleeder valve for leaks and looks dry. The only thing I think it could be is the clutch master cylinder. If I drive the car for a few minutes I am able to build pressure back up in the clutch, however the ABS light and ASR light still remain while driving. Turning the car off and back on again shuts off the light for a few minutes until I start driving, but the clutch pressure starts back low again.
View 3 RepliesI'm seriously getting fed up with this car. From the day we took delivery of it in July 2006 it had the dreaded b-pillar rattle that took OVER a year for the dealer to diagnose and fix. The final repair took over a week and we were graced with a horribly crappy rental car. The passenger rear door felt like it belonged on a 35-year old ford F-150 and it required a day at the dealer and lube and adjustments.
Then We've had random CELs and rattles and recently had to go in for a new A/C Compressor. That took 2 days of us without the car. That was AFTER it was in a week previous for a CEL that required a part inside the intake runner. That took ANOTHER 2 days to diagnose/repair. Now the rear hatch doesn't close? I've never needed this many repairs on a car that doesn't even have 35K miles on it.
Just tonight my wife said the parking brake didn't engage and a warning light for THAT just came on. Previously I had planned to trade in the GTI for a better family car, but its turning out that maybe the car we need to replace is in fact this one... Its saving grace are a fantastic engine and utility that is second to none. If only it worked!
Top of the back door is hitting the garage while opening inside the garage and getting all scratches, Is it possible to open it only 1/2 way as I can see that option in other SUV's but can't find any setting in the manual. Is it possible to do on 2013 RX 350?
View 1 RepliesWent down to my garage after the Prius had been off for at least 5 hours and heard a whirring kind of like a fan in the back half of the vehicle. I had never heard this before and it went on for at least 5 minutes then quit. My garage was probably around 60 degrees for most of that time, fwiw. Seems like the area of the battery fan but why would that need to run?
View 2 RepliesI have a 1993 f150. Problem is that the steering wheel can wobble back and forth about a half inch or so. I took the wheel off and it looks like there is a lock ring holding everything in place. I just wondered if there was a solution to this to fix it
View 1 RepliesWhen I turn the dial on my sunroof control just a click or two, the roof opens to a little more than half open. Basically, the roof has maybe 3 positions between 1/2 and all the way open despite the multitude of click positions on the dial. It's nowhere near precise. I'd like to be able to open it just a little sometimes (not tilt, open).
Is this just the way it is or will my VW dealer be able to adjust something?
fuel gauge does what it wants? It goes down to half way then goes back to full or sometimes even empty. Not a big deal for me because I have gotten used to it. But I would hate to have my wife in here and she thinks it's good and run out.
View 14 RepliesI have an '08 Touareg. The automatic door motor on the rear tailgate is having an issue. It closes with no problem when you push the button. However, when you try to open it, the door opens about half way and then cuts out. It is rather difficult to open the door manually. Is it a motor issue, or just a fuse or relay issue?

View 1 RepliesMy wife tried to close the hatchback door on our 2010 Prius I, something was in the way, she forced it and now I can't get the door to unlock. I tried the manual door release which is small metal lever on the lock assembly (as covered in the user manual); however, the lock won't release the striker. I've unbolted the lock assembly to see if the striker was jammed in the lock mechanism. I can now rock the lock assembly back and forth and I don't see any foreign objects in the locking mechanism, but still cannot open the lock. How to manually open the lock mechanism (is there somewhere I can apply pressure to force the mechanism to open and release the striker)? Again, the metal lever discussed in the user guide does not work.
View 3 RepliesI have a 1997 Astro van and recently I shut the back doors (two door version) and now they will not open/unlock. I tried the power locks as well as the key. I read where you can take off the speaker cover in the door and reach thru and unlock/release from there. That did not work either. Not sure WHY Chevy decided not to put interior release handles. Any trick to opening the doors so I can see what the problem is?
View 17 RepliesI'm so frustrated after running several errands in the rain yesterday, and being unable to unlock the Touareg (V6) using the remote key fob unless I'm right next to the car and in a certain spot. It's been an ongoing problem since we got our car in November, but I'm at the end of my rope. It's also embarrasing to be standing in a parking lot circling the car trying to get it unlocked with the remote key fob. This is affecting both the doors and the rear hatch. What solutions are available?
View 3 RepliesIs there anyway to make the remote unlock/lock the car from a farther distance? Mine doesn't work unless you're about 3 feet away from the car!
View 21 RepliesI bought my treg a couple of months ago and it came with the stock roof rack. I never thought anything of it, since I barely use it. But the other day I wanted to see what it looks like if i separated the rack. It looks like it takes a key to unlock it, i thought it was the cars ignition key but it's not. How I could unlock it or get a key to do this?
View 4 RepliesThe rear doors on our '07 V10 no longer unlock when the handle is grasped. They also refuse to respond to the unlock button on the key fob. They will unlock in response to the button on the inside of the driver's door.
