Touareg :: 2006 - Upper Left Hand Corner Of The Instrument Cluster Is Getting Dim?

Having issue with the 2006 Touareg instrument clusters. The upper left hand corner of the instrument cluster is getting dim. Also, my wife was driving to work the other day, and she stated that she heard what sounded like electrical arcing behind the console. Just curious. She has had the touareg in for service for the air bag error, which they had to order a part. Also, a mysterious headlight error keeps popping up, but then goes away. I don't want a fireball touareg.

Toyota - Matrix :: Squeaking Noise Coming From Rear Left Hand Wheel

Vehicle: 2011 Toyota Matrix XR 4-door hatchback ... A few days ago I noticed that my car started making an odd, very noticeable squeaking noise. The noise is coming from my rear left-hand wheel. It's audible from outside the car, and from inside with the windows down.

The wheel makes a squeak each time it turns, so the frequency increases with higher speed. It's audible from ~15km/h, below which the squeak is barely audible, up to ~70km/h, above which I can't hear it any more, maybe because of wind. It makes a slightly different kind of squeak from the same spot when I'm backing up. There is no other noise of any kind (nothing unusual is heard with the engine on, and the car stationary). There are no other problems at all with the vehicle. It's been about 4000km since my last oil change, I have that coming up soon, but I doubt that is the cause of this, since it's coming from the wheel.

What I can do is take off the wheel and take some pictures of the wheel and breaks to show ....

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Passenger Side Thud Sound When Going Over Bumps And Left Hand Turns

My passenger side has been making thud noises on a number of occasions on my 01 Jetta 1.8t:

1. When I go over bumps, the front passenger side will make a loud thud noise.
2. When I take my foot off the brake, there will be a loud thud from the front passenger side as well.
3. When making left hand turns and I begin to turn the wheel back to return it to its original position, there is a thud coming from the front passenger side as well.

It does not continuously click like a bad CV joint would. All these symptoms came at the same time period.

Golf IV R32 :: Grinding Noise While Making A Left Hand Turn

The other day I hit a good size bump at speed, slightly bent a wheel which I didn't even notice at first. The car drove straight and had no other symptoms, thought everything was okay. A couple days later I heard a weird grinding noise while making a left hand turn, it was so faint I honestly thought it was the fender liner. After the noises continued and further examination I noticed that the carrier is rubbing the rotor on the lower drivers side corner.

Lexus GX 2010+ :: Rattle In Left Rear Corner

It took a second trip to Koons Lexus of Wilmington to solve, but the rattle is gone.

It was a very quiet sound, which was only noticeable on smooth roads so it probably was caused by air moving the plastic panels in the wheel well. It took three trips around the block with the Service Manager and technicians to confirm, isolate and diagnose the sound ... driving over rough paving caused enough noise to mask the sound.

This time new clips were secured by screws that force them to expand and prevents them from loosening ... so we were told. Why it only affected the left rear corner and was so difficult to solve is unknown, but our truck is quiet again ... as it should be and as it has been for three years.

Mazda - Mazda3 :: Tapping Sound Coming From Back Left Hand Side Of Car

I got a brand new 2011 Mazda 3 i Sport 4 door sedan in May and it's been great so far. Lately though, I have started to hear a sound coming from the back left hand side of the car. It really closely resembles the sound of tapping one's finger on a counter top. When I'm stopped, there's no noise but when I go I can hear it. As I go faster it goes faster as well and when I slow down it slows down. What is going on?

Touareg :: Driver Side Door Not Sitting Properly At The Bottom Left Corner Along A Pillar

Any spec sheet for installing the doors or aligning them. I have been having a problem with the driver's door not sitting properly at the bottom left corner along the A pillar. This causes the first part of the triple seal system [the Touareg has] to be compromised, thus letting in water if submerged.

Accent LC (2000-05) :: 2002 - Clicking Sound Coming From The Left Hand Side Under The Hood

I have a 2002 Accent that has this clicking sound coming from what sounds to be the left hand side under the hood. The click sounds like two marbles colliding. The car runs ok otherwise, but I would like to know about that sound.

I took a video, but its kind of hard to hear it. But if you listen close enough, you can hear it.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Steering Wheel Controls On Left Hand Side Intermittently Stop Working

I've got a 2011 Sonata Limited that I just purchased used, 20,000 miles. Everything is great besides the fact that the all the controls on the left hand side of the steering wheel will intermittently stop working. I brought it to Hyundai the first time I noticed and they replaced all the buttons but the issue persisted. So, I just picked it up today from them replacing the entire clockspring and the wiring behind it now. It worked great all day until just as I was pulling into my driveway and it happened again.

They basically told me this would 100% fix it because it's the only other thing that could be the issue. However, my gut keeps telling me it could be an issue with the radio itself. I've read a bunch of stuff on here about the issue but there was only a few responses of fixes (all of which I have tried).

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Right Side Rear Is Set Back Further Than The Left Side Rear

I Have had my 99.5 jetta for 4 years now, car drives straight, no tire wear issues, but from day one I have noticed by looking in the wheel wells of both rear tires that the r/s rear is set back further than the l/s rear, l/s rear looks centered in the wheel wheel and the r/s rear looks to be back further and not centered, no evidence of any rear damage from a previous owner, car drives straight as an arrow , I'm stumped, all four tires have worn even in the past 3 years.

Passat (B5) :: Rhythmic Clunking And Clicking Noise Around Right Hand Turns On Left Wheel

The car is a 2.8L w/ a manual tranny. The car was making a rhythmic clunking and clicking noise around right hand turns on the left wheel. So when the weight of the vehicle is applied to the left, that's when the noise occurs. The car has been in the shop for 6 days and the technicians have replaced both axle shafts (it was time to do so anyway) but the noise is still there!!! What could possibly be making that noise other than bad CV's? The rhythm of the noise coincides with the rotation of the wheel/shaft which is where they have focused. Could it possibly be bad strut mounts? This is driving me crazy!!! They tell me its perfectly safe to drive (how do they know this when thy don't know whats wrong?) but I can't imagine this can carry on much longer without something breaking.

Prius Plug-in 2012-15 :: Faint Buzzing / Rattling Noise Coming From Left Corner Of Dashboard

I am experiencing a buzzing rattle coming from the left corner of the dashboard in the area near the horizontal speaker. It's not loud but it's annoying. It only happens when the car is moving. It doesnt seem to be affected by the audio system being powered on or off. The best thing I can think of to describe it the sound a Geiger counter makes, but not as loud.

Ford - Explorer :: 2007 XLT - Clunk Noise While Making Left Hand Turns At Slow Speed

My wife informed me about a noise coming from the chassis of her truck.

2007 Explorer XLT 4x4, 4.0 OHV, AT, 89,000 miles on the odometer.

We took the truck to dinner last night so I could investigate the problem. This occurs while only making left hand turns at slow speed.

There is a definite clunk sound AND feel. It actually sounds and feels like we are driving over a loose manhole cover, and IT DOES feel like metal to metal contact on the driverʻs sids of the truck.

Accent RB (2012+) :: Whining Sound Coming From Somewhere On The Left Side Of Vehicle

I have a whining sound coming from somewhere on the left side of my Accent HB SE 2013. 6 months old...it isnt audio related, and is intermittent - sometimes I can hear it, sometimes I cant. It can only be heard above say 40km/hr... and gets higher pitched with speed... lower and whirs out to silence when coming to a stop.

It sounds almost clutch related, but my guess is fuel pump related. A visual inspection shows the belts are fine.... I tried to see if it was hand-brake related by pumping a few times before pulling off... no dice. Now I'm trying to keep fuel above half to see if that has an effect on cooling the pump....
