Passat (B5) :: Lower Half Of The Windshield Has Distortion
2000 Passat windshield was replaced yesterday by an independent service station after being hit by a rock on Rt 22 in New Jersey. The new windshield is made by XYG (Made in China). The lower half of the windshield has incredible distortion -- looks like a fun house mirror. I've never had any kind of problem like this with any vehicle I've ever owned. I will, of course, call the repair shop tomorrow morning.

View 1 RepliesPhaeton :: Distortion In Infotainment Screen?
A few times over the past several months, I've found a weird distortion ocurring in the screen on the infotainment display (not the small screen on the dashboard). It looks like an old CRT / TV screen that has gotten un-aligned / un-synched - a rolling and diagonally stretched image. It goes away if I stop, shutdown, remove the key and restart the car.
I'm thinking that it is being caused by interference generated by my Blackberry handheld, which I have a tendency to stick in the driver's side cup holder - angled toward me, so the antenna ends up pointing toward the infortainment unit screen, but the distortion doesn't disappear simply by moving the Blackberry.
Camry :: 2007 XLE - JBL System Bass Distortion
Our Camry has the premium JBL system with the amp under the passenger seat. Any song regardless of source that has a lot of bass drives both rear speakers into distortion. Treble and mid and bass settings are on zero. Even when bass is set on -2 or -3, I still hear significant distortion especially when playing something like Queen, Enya, or with a lot of bass. Problem is there whether Aux input, CD or FM. Someone suggested adjusting gain on amp. How do I do that? And isn't it a stretch to think that would make any difference? Is the amp the most likely source of the problem?

I've noticed a slight distortion on my driver's side mirror. If I move my head left to right and back, I can see some 'wobble' across the face. I wonder if the cold has anything to do with it?
View 9 RepliesGolf/GTI VII :: Slight Distortion In Windshield Glass
I've had my GTI for 2 months but just tonight I noticed some slight distortion in the passenger side of my windshield glass. It almost makes things like slightly "wavy". It would be hard to notice unless I pointed it out, but it's there. Now here's the funny thing, it can only be seen from the driver's side of the car. I sat in the passenger side and it looked totally fine. I also noticed that only the windshield is made by Vitro based in Mexico, the rest of the glass has Sekurit stamps, based (made?) in Germany. I'm wondering if this is considered normal or at least acceptable.

View 3 RepliesSubaru :: 2013 - Windshield Distortion - Cannot Drive The Car In Sunlight
I recently purchased a new 2013 subaru crosstrek, and noticed an optical variance in the windshield that is giving me migraines ( it feels like my eye is being pulled out through my right ear). I took it back to the dealer and (after several visits trying to convince them it existed) they replaced the windshield. With one that's worse, and now I'm stuck. I can't drive the car in sunlight, only in the dark or on days its precipitating. My husband says he sees it, too. But the Dealer wants nothing to do with me. We tried to find an aftermarket windshield, but apparently, the car is too new.

Just upgraded from an 07 NF to a 2015 LF (Canadian GL with the 5" stereo) and I'm having an issue with bluetooth audio streaming. Music and audio in general sounds distorted/staticky especially in the higher frequency (kind of sound like a tweeter is blown but audio is fine using other sources). I have tried 3 different devices and same issue with all. Adjusting the eq and volumes on the phones/head unit does not work. Never had this issue in the 07 which had a JVC Bluetooth head unit. My brother also just got the same car and is having the exact same issue. Is this a common problem and if so is there a fix?

View 13 RepliesPhaeton :: 2008 - Sound System Malfunction / Distortion On Loud Notes?
We continue to be delighted with our 2008 V8, it's like having wings. I drove to England across France from Switzerland for 100 kms recently, had a wonderful day there and back. But when I play our iPod with WAV files through the sound system there is some distortion on loud notes, even at low volume. Strangely, when a young friend attached his iPod and then replaced mine, it did not distort. There is no distortion when using the CD changer or the Hard disk drive, but I prefer the large choice and full files on the iPod, given the great quality of the standard sound system. Now the sound distorts again when playing music on the iPod, and even if i detach the cable and replace it any number of times there is little difference.

View 3 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Car Has Very Low Turnover
On my 2001 B5.5 V6 4motion, the recall includes the fuel tank vent valve. Sometimes it will give a hard time...it wants to crank, but just won't turn over and it may take a few times like that before it will actually turn over and start the car...and occasionally it will turn over but only has very low RPMs and you have to turn it off. Also, we have been getting the misfire in cylinder 4 code. I have a new fuel filter to put on, but i don't think that is part of the prob.
View 1 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Headliner Comes Apart
On my 2006 Passat the headliner comes apart. I talked to my dealer and contacted VWoA 3 times. They claim that it is not a manufacturing issue. I was surprised, because as I saw pictures of 2006 Jetta's in the vwvortex forum where VW covered exact the same problem 100% or at least 75%. The dealer want to repair it and not replace it. I wonder if this is any good, because there are several locations where the headliner is sagging.
