Golf/GTI VII :: How To Stop Rear Seatbelts From Rattling When Windows Open
I have a few questions...
1. How do I stop the rear seatbelts from rattling when I have the windows open?
2. What can I buy to replace the ugly, black plastic 12V plug in the center console?
3. What should I use to replace the dealer license plate frames on my black GTI? What looks good?
Abs - Ford - Brakes :: Pedal Freezes After Only Moving A Couple Of Inches And Car Won't Stop
I drive a 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid. For about three months now, sometimes when I brake the pedal only moves a couple of inches, freezes and the car won't stop. The car also makes a strange intermittent sound like someone humming with his mouth open. Sometimes the brake light comes on the dashboard, sometimes the ABS light, sometimes both, sometimes neither. When I take it in to the garage, everyone reports there is no code for them to read. During this time I have had the bearings (noticed road noise) and the brakes (squeaking) replaced in the rear right wheel.
Before the brakes were replaced, when the pedal froze, I stopped the car by pulling on the emergency brake, putting the car in neutral and/or turning the car off. When I restart the car, everything goes back to normal. Since the brakes were replaced, I haven't had to go to those extremes. I take my foot off the brake, depress it again, and the car usually stops. If the ABS/brake lights are on, I turn the car off and on again, and all goes back to normal. The problem could occur three times in a day or once in a month. I never know when it's going to happen. After reporting these symptoms to my local Ford dealership, the place where I buy my tires and my garage mechanic, they all shrugged and said they couldn't do anything. I'm thinking no one wants to be liable when the crash comes.
Golf/GTI VII :: Rear Windows Don't Go All The Way Down

Pulling into work today and backing into my parking spot, a fellow employee noticed something odd about my front wheels, so he hopped in my car so I could see the issue.
From a dead stop accelerating forward, the front wheels shift a few inches to the rear, and same thing when backing up from a dead stop they shift to the front. Both sides are doing this evenly. I haven't thrown it on the lift yet but I was thinking a possibly bad dogbone mount. The car has 133K on it and the bone has never been touched.

I've done a ton of searches and everyone talks about the 250 rear blocks being 2 inches. I got under my truck the other night and my factory blocks measured to just shy of 4 inches. It seems like everyone says that those blocks only come with the 350s...
is there some sort of package that I might have to come factory with the larger rear blocks?
Golf VI R :: Passenger Window Will Go All The Way Up Then Roll Back Down 2 To 3 Inches
So for some reason today, my passenger (front) window decided that it doesn't want to stay shut when I auto roll it from both the driver and passenger side switches. It will go all the way up, and then roll back down approximately 2-3 inches like it is doing a pinch protection. If it is rolled all the way up manually it stays up. I have visually checked the track and don't see any obstructions, which I didn't expect to find since it will stay up when done manually. Is there something I'm missing or an easy fix?

My passenger side front and rear windows dont work. Both driver side windows work, just not the right side/passenger side.
Also when I press the master door lock/unlock switch on the driver seat, every door except the rear passenger door works. It stays unchanged so I guess it is not receiving a signal or something is not letting the signal reach the lock.
Golf/GTI VII :: Noise Comes From Rear Suspension After Braking To A Stop
I have been enjoying my PP GTI from the time I picked it up a month ago but have recently started noticing a noise that comes from the rear suspension AFTER braking to a stop. Basically, whenever I come to a complete stop and the car SETTLES (not while its breaking, but after a split second after it comes to a stop) on the rear suspension, I get a very noticeable clunk. This also does not just happen with hard stops from speed, it happens also when i creep forward and stop suddenly and the car's rear end settles.
I have thought about what it could be and I have come to two potential conclusions: 1) Break slap caused by the pad settling back into the holder in the caliper but it seems like its making too much noise to be just that. 2) This is related to the dreaded rear suspension noise issues that our friends in Europe have experienced. Relating to number 2, the car does seem abnormally loud when going over rough roads here in Detroit. It doesn't necessarily clunk or rattle but you can definitely hear the shocks working. This seems abnormal to me being a brand new car (my first in fact) which is why I am afraid it could be the shocks/top-mounts.
Passat (B5) :: 2001 - Windows Won't Stop Rolling Down
I have an 01 Passat (old body style) and I know that there is a function on the door that if you use the key to unlock the car you can roll down all the windows that way. The key lock on my door is broken though and has been since I go the car 2 years ago.
For some reason all the sudden now ever time I open my door all the windows roll down. I'm not sure how to stop it or turn off the system. Luckily it hasn't happened in the rain, yet, but I would like to fix it before that happens.
IS F (2008-2014) :: Power Windows Stop Working After LED Headlights Installed
I don't know what's going on with my power windows control on the driver door. Auto up/down function is not working. It cannot roll passenger windows up or down. I checked the other 3 doors and the switches worked. I don't know where to look!
View 8 RepliesSonata NF (2006-10) :: Electrical Malfunction - Windows Switches Stop Working Intermittently
I've been having some troubles with my 2009 Hyundai sonata GLS 100k 4 cyl. Its quite an odd issue I've been having with my power windows. It seems that the switches or relays stop working intermittently however it does it in an odd fashion. First the drivers master switch works for all but sometimes not for the front passenger up nor down . The front passenger switch/relay does not work at times, up nor down, the rear passenger does not go up at all and the rear driver switch does not go down at all. I can't for the life of me fathom what might actually be the issue other than, all the switches breaking at the same time(due to power surge ?) Another theory I have is that is that my passengers and I sometimes place cellphones in the door handle and may have somehow damaged the switch ? I know these are some whacky conjectures but that I can think of.

Have a F350 V10 super duty the power windows intermittently stop working along with the radio. I have replaced the acc relay key switch under a recommendation. I looked over the fuse panel under the dash for corrosion. Still can't find problem. It was worse this past summer than this winter. When it goes bad after driving 30 miles it will start working.

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: 2002 - Radio / Windows Stop Working Occasionally?
I have a 02 PSD, and sometimes after I start it up my radio and power windows do not work. I have a red "security" light on my Kenwood radio that turns on when the truck is off. That light keeps flashing after I turned on the truck so I know it's still getting power, but for some reason it thinks the truck is off, and the windows don't go down. Other days it works perfectly fine, sometimes the radio and windows will stop working after driving normal.
At first it was a routine where I knew they'd start working shortly. But today was the last straw, I drove into work with no radio and windows not rolling down for 30 miles. Of course after I park, I turn off the truck, turn it back on and everything comes on like nothing ever happened. What can be causing this, I have checked all the wiring, no kinks, cuts, nothing. I remember reading something about a relay that can cause this but can't find that info.

When I'm driving and I open just the rear windows - I get a buffeting, choppy, shaking noise - kinda like the whop, whop of a copter blade. The first time it happened I thought I had a flat tire. Is it the cover for the cargo area?
