My 96 F150 got parked one day and the next it wouldn't turn over. I replaced the starter with a working/used one, and the truck still won't turn over. Every time you turn the wheel it just clicks. I hear the fuel pump turn on and I charged the battery. Is there still a voltage regulator on this year ????
View 1 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: Backwards Thumps When Car Was Parked
2005 Prius w/90,000 miles.
This morning I got in my Prius and started the car. I was waiting for my son and almost absentmindedly I put my foot on the gas enough to get the ICE revving up. The car was parked with a very slight incline forward (a few degrees at most). After a few seconds the car thumped backwards. It then continued to do that continuously with a thump about once a second. It's not a hard thump, but it's very noticeable.
It is almost as if a very small amount of power is being applied in reverse and then released quickly. I shut the car down and was able to replicate the issue. There are no error codes on my OBD2 and no unusual engine lights. Is it normal?

View 13 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Car Died After Parked For Sometime
So, I went to a hotel tonight and gave my car (2010 Prius II) to the valet. When I came out about 4 hours later, a different valet guy said they had a problem with my car and that it had no power. But, somehow, they were able to drive in reverse and park it near the entrance. This must have happened shortly after I left the car with them.
The car would not start, but a dash light was blinking that looked like an outline of a padlock (it was blinking too quickly for me to tell). Also, strangely, the vents were blowing air (albeit, at a very low setting).
Someone with the hotel came out with a battery charger and we hooked it up to the terminal in the front engine. As soon as the battery was attached, everything in my car lit up and I was able to start it up.
Prius (2004-09) :: Squeaking When The Car Is Parked
I recently discovered a squeak when the car is parked and I move the car forward and backwards. The harder I push, the more it squeaks. I went to a mechanic who told me the struts were "bad" and needed replacement.
View 6 RepliesSaturn - Sl :: 2000 - Moving When Off And Parked
Over the past couple days my 5-speed 2000 Saturn SL1 has been doing something very strange. The other night around 11:30 pm I heard a big crash in my garage. I ran out to see what it was, and the car had moved forward about 4 feet, knocking down some boxes in the process. The car was in first gear, and had been off for at least 6 hours. The freaky thing is it moved forward against the grade of the garage. That’s right, the car was off, in first gear, with no one inside, and moved uphill on its own. A couple days later it did the same thing but with the emergency break on! It crashed into my parents garage door. The car managed to move up a steep driveway with the e-brake engaged. Again it moved about 4 feet.

I just noticed today that my Golf VI 1.2 TSI (manual gearbox, 86 horsepower) is producing weird sounds when parked. (Never noticed that, probably started doing it today).
Here is the sound in question on SoundCloud: [URL] .....
The car is 3 years old and it was serviced just two weeks ago. I am not sure about what may cause this weird noise.

View 24 RepliesPrius (Gen 3) :: Low Whirring Sound When Parked In Garage
I parked the little dear in the garage about 9:30 last night. I went into the garage this morning around 6:30 and I noticed how still and quiet it seemed. I then opened the garage door and went outside for a few minutes. When I came back in, I hear a low whirring sound. I went back outside to listen, but it was definitely coming from the Prius, perhaps near the back, underneath.
The hatch was open; I closed it, but the sound didn't change. The fob was in the house, and I didn't open the driver door, so it wasn't the brake pump. It lasted at least 2-3 minutes, at which time I was too bored to continue listening, and I went back to weeding and watering.

The horn came on solid about 10 minutes after parked. This is not alarm, as horn is blowing solid. Tried all things to reset the alarm, started engine, locks, etc. Only way to get to stop blowing was to disconnect battery. Re-connected, still blew, disconnected 5 minutes, reconnected, and was ok.
Since that time, it has started going off randomly, even when driving on road.
Camry :: 2008 LE Leaks When Getting Rained On And Parked
2008 Camry LE 2AZ-FE - With sun roof
Basically, my car leaks when it's being rained on and it's not moving. If I'm driving at any speed, it doesn't leak. It only leaks when the car is getting rained on and isn't moving (parked)
What is allowing this? The door weather strips? The sunroof weather strip? The windshield?
I want to avoid maintenance that isn't necessary.
Prius (Gen 3) :: Hybrid Battery Downs The Bar When Car Is Parked
I've had my 2015 Prius Two for almost 6 weeks now, and so far am loving it. However, I noticed something strange today. I'm pretty sure that when I parked at work this morning, the hybrid battery was nearly full (two bars shy of full, I think). When I came back to leave work (~6 hours later) and started the car, the hybrid battery was down to only two bars (as in two bars above empty mark).

View 4 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: Car Won't Unlock After Parked For 2 Days
I just had my 90K service done, drove my '04 prius home and parked it for 2 days.
I tried to open the door like I always do (no remote key, just touching the handle) and the car would not unlock.
When I got into the car the GPS screen did not come up, the Info screen and energy consumption screens are also not working.
Before I took the car in for service everything worked fine.
I'm contending that the service people jostled something they should have just jiggled, or possibly jangled something they should have jingled.
