Lexus LS 2007+ :: Scratch On Steering Wheel?

Don't know how I did it as I don't wear a wedding ring (yes she is ok with it), but I have a deep scratch about a half in long on my wheel. It is right through the clear and deep.

Any thoughts on fixing it? Just want to cover it so it doesn't get any worse.

There is a scratch on the top outside of the plastic rear window divider. I don't know if it was vandalism or some flying road debris. I know how we all love the divider, however this is not nice on a car with less than 1000 miles

Touareg :: Driving In Deep Sand

I decided to take the day off and run out to Melbourne Beach...there are a couple of places off A1A with beach access - but there is some mighty deep sand too...
I locked the differential, jacked it up and turned off the ESP...didn't have any problems at all - but there was a moment...

I guess that the best advice for getting through sand is to keep up your momentum and turn in little bits. I guess I could have deflated the tires a bit, but I'd like your opinions...

Golf IV R32 :: Inconsistent Deep Hum / Drone For A Few Moments

Everyone month or so, for a few seconds at highway speeds I will get a hum/drone that is very loud. Its not consistent on when, or where I am driving as it has happened 3 or 4 times in different areas but all on the highway and between 60-80mph.

It lasts a few seconds and increased/decreases with speed but tapping the brakes does not affect it. Even changing speed or switch gears does not fix the issue, but eventually if I drop below 60ish mph then speed back up, it will go away, but even that is inconsistent and I may have to do it twice or more for the drone/hum to go away.

I would think it would be a weird position the wheel bearing gets into, but all the wheel bearings up front have both between replaced in the last 10 months. It does not sound like its coming from the rear.

Summary:

-Tapping the brake doesn't stop the noise
-Changing speed makes it louder or quieter and eventually when slowing down significantly it goes away
-Changing gears at speed does not affect it
-Inconsistent - once a month at most
-Only lasts a few moments
-Only at speeds 60+

Golf IV R32 :: Deep Growl Of Stock Exhaust?

I was running errands yesterday, left the car for an hour, then got back in and noticed that the deep rumble of the exhaust that I love was suddenly gone. The car seemed fine when driving, but the wookie growl only showed up for a few moments. No CEL. What could be causing this?

Honda - Accordhybrid :: 2005 - Low Deep Hum Comes On Intermittently

We have a 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid that has a hideous hummmm...a basal sound, a very low deep hum. It comes on intermittently - when idling, when driving. You have to rev up the engine to make it go away. The dealer can't replicate the noise...but we have a line of other passengers who can attest.

Golf IV R32 :: Deep / Reverberating Noise From Rear

I have a very deep, reverberating noise coming from the rear of my car. It only happens at very low speeds, when performing sharp turns, (mostly to the right), such as parking lot maneuvers, turning in/out of my driveway. I don't hear it any other time. Of course, it will not make the sound at the dealer. I first thought perhaps it was a low tire, but it's not. Then, while having other work done, they found part of a front wheel well liner loose and repaired that. However, the noise is still present. Wondering about differential, haldex or wheel bearing possibilities? The other thing I seem to notice is when I'm taking a sharp turn, merging onto freeway, and being aggressive about it , the car just doesn't seem to want to 'sink in' and grab like normal. I have new tires so that's not an issue.

Elantra XD (2001-06) :: Deep Rattling Sound Along With Very Low Idle

When I am driving my elantra (engine warm), say I pull up to a red light or I am in a 'drive thru' my RPM's will go to under 500 and normally go under 400 which causes the whole car to shake and sound like it will stall. The car also has the issue with the Air Conditioning on that makes the vehicle have a deep rattling sound along with the very low idle which follows with my lights dimming or lightly flickering.

Milage: 177,000

P0422 (catalyst 2 efficiency below threshold bank 1)

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: AC Deep Groan / Growl Sounds

2011 Sonata GLS

Sometimes the AC will make a deep low vibrating sound like a groan or growl. It will go away after a minute. Or if I turn off the AC then turn it back on it stops making the noise.

Mostly it happens at idle or in gear but car is stopped. Or a very low road speed. Occasionally it will go away if engine speed is raised (driving faster or revving engine in PARK). What's going on? Any known issues or TSBs?
