Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Alarm Going Off Randomly In The Middle Of Night

So far three times this week the factory alarm went off in the middle of the night. This happened before and the problem just went away. I have pulled the fuse for the horn so I can at least get some sleep.

How to troubleshoot this? Bringing it to the deal will be useless since I can't duplicate the problem.

This is an 08 Santa Fe limited edition.

Cavalier :: 96 - Key Started To Randomly Get Stuck In The Middle Ignition Position

Quite awhile ago my key started to randomly get stuck in the middle ignition position but it was happening very rarely and some gentle jiggling was letting me take it out easily. Well a few days ago that went from very rarely to each and every time I start the car.

Now its a tossup whenever I go somewhere whether the key will pop out like it should or I'll have to fiddle with it for anywhere up to ten minutes.

The car never has a problem starting, its only when I have arrived somewhere and need to take the key out that is an issue. I've managed to remove it every time so far but it has taken a fair amount of WD-40, jiggling the bejeezus out of the key and steering wheel and plenty of patience.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Beep Five Times Quickly Randomly In The Middle Of Night

I am very happy with my 2010 corolla, except for the annoying beeping. I live in a very quiet townhouse row and the cars are parked right in front of the houses. So, when I get up in the morning to get in the car, it beeps when I unlock it and on good weather days when the windows are open, there are at least 20 units that can hear it. It is very embarrassing. What is worse, randomly in the middle of the night, at 230 or 3am, it will beep five times quickly. My neighbors want to kill me! The engine light has been on for a few weeks because I am due for an oil change. Could it be related to that? And how do I turn this thing off?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Turn Signal Stalk Doesn't Go Back To Neutral

So my turn signal stalk doesn't go back to neutral after a turn.. also, I don't hear the usually " clicking when turning the wheel that you hear when it goes far enough to re-set itself. What controls this action? Its not the clock spring thing commonly referenced to the airbag airbag is it?

Golf IV R32 :: Inside Lights Turn Off Randomly When Driving

My lights inside (not the dome lights but the dash, and speedo/tach lights) sometimes turn off randomly when driving, or sometimes don't even come on when i turn the switch. they eventually come on, or come back on after going out.

Also the display (that tells mpg avg. and what not) turned off yesterday too and hasn't come back on. that always stays on even when the other lights go out, but for some reason it shut off and has yet to return.

Golf V R32 :: One HID Headlight Bulb Will Randomly Turn Off And On While Driving

This just started happening a few days ago. The right bulb will turn on normally with the rest of the car, but as I'm driving it will randomly turn off for a second, then power back on. Some nights I won't see the issue at all, other nights it will be doing this every other couple of minutes or so.

Golf IV R32 :: Wipers Randomly Go On And Off / Headlights And Turn Signals Won't Work Either

So after a pretty harsh storm last night I was driving today and my wipers came on. Went to turn them off and nothing. My headlights and turn signals won't work either. When I pull the stalk to turn my high beams on my wipers go off. Parked the car and the dash lights stay on without my key and the wipers randomly go on and off. The blinkers in the rear remain lit with the car off as well. At work right now so nothing came up when I searched briefly but do any of you have any insight as to why my car is possessed? Going to check grounds when I get home.

Ford - Explorer :: 2013 - Grinding / Rubbing Noise In The Middle Of The Turn

My new 2013 Ford Explorer Limited (5000 miles) recently started making a grinding/rubbing noise with a slight to significant braking action in the middle of turns (typically left turns, at moderate to slow speed, e.g., at stoplights) when my foot is on the accelerator, not the brake. Lasts about 1 second, happens once a day or so, typically when the car is cold. The dealer was flummoxed, tried replacing the steering gear, but the same thing happened as soon as I drove out of the lot. Apparently no codes showing on brakes or ABS.

Golf V R32 :: Rattle From Vent On Top Of The Dashboard In The Middle

Have a super annoying rattle from the top vent on top of the dashboard in the middle. I can put my wifes handbag on it in order to stop it. Told the dealer about it the past 4 visits and get different answers every time but no fixes. Passed 15k miles and now they say rattle warranty is over so how hard is it to take the vent off so i can doctor some foam tape or something in there?

Prius (2004-09) :: Could Not Shift Out Of Neutral Or Turn Car Off

We love our 04 Prius (190K, still original brakes, etc.). Today we encountered a strange problem. My wife was driving and pulled into a parking lot. She could not turn the car off , remove the box key, or shift out of neutral. No warning lights.

After about 10 min. the car would drive again. We've now cycled about 5 times (i.e. driven somewhere) and it seems OK. We replaced the 12V battery a couple of years ago and haven't seen any problems in that area.

Golf V R32 :: Intermittent Metallic Clicking Noise From The Middle Of The Car

I think I have a bad prop shaft CV joint. The car has been intermittently making a metallic clicking noise from the middle of the car. It can happen at any speed, a slow crawl to the highway. The frequency is completely tied to speed over the ground and seems to be once per revolution of the prop shaft. I put the car up on a lift yesterday and slid back the heat shield under the CV joint and bearing in the middle of the prop shaft. There is grease there that looks like it was thrown off of the shaft. Can the CV joint be replaced by itself or am I looking at replacing the entire prop shaft assembly?

Golf V R32 :: Slight Click / Rattle Noise From Middle Of The Car

New R32 owner here. TR with 45k miles purchased 11/12. Lovin it thus far minus a few quirks. One that is pretty significant - when I was in a drive through the other day, close to a wall w/ window down, going from window 1 to 2, lifted my foot off the break and let the trans engage w/o hitting the gas. This produced a slight but noticeable click/rattle noise from what seemed to be the middle of the car. Once i left, couldn't duplicate the noise until pulling into the garage when I was stop/going again without using the gas. The tranny is covered for another 15k or so, so want to get it checked out before that, just wondering what in the world it could be.

Golf/GTI VII :: Slight Rattle From Middle Or Right Side Of The Dash Only Under Acceleration

My GTI is a few days old. Pretty much since the first day I noticed a slight rattle coming from the middle or right side of the dash/engine bay, only under acceleration (I'm assuming under boost). You need all the windows up and radio off to hear it, but it is definitely there 8/10 times I push the gas. I know others have talked about the fuel line rattle, are the symptoms the same?
