Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2011 F350 Engine Braking / Downshifting Not Working - No Tow Engage
First off I want to say I love my 11 f350 6.3 srw she's a awesome truck. I pull a small 7x14 trailer for my biz..
(3600-400) is the usually weight, I always use my tow feature. One day last week I start out hit my button in go, but I notice the engine braking/down shifting wasn't working. The trans still shifts smooth n normal the light is on the dash but no tow engage.
I check the transmission wire plug to make sure it'd getting a good connection, it does. I take the rubber boot off next to the shifter look at those wires they look ok not pinch or nothing, so I'm stumped.
Touareg :: V8 Jumps Forward And Engine Revs While Downshifting
I have a '05 V8 T-Reg (loaded with Air, NAV, and the like) and have the local VW dealership perplexed. The problem is when I am going up a hill and slowing down. While downshifting the T-Reg lunges forward while moving from 4th to 3rd gear or 3rd to 2nd. The car jumps forward and the engine revs. If I don't have my foot on the brake I would smack into the person in front of me.
Initially, the dealership (Day Imports, Monroeville, PA) determined it was the valve stems and replaced them (after keeping the car for 4 days). The problem came back and now (going on 6 days in the shop) they cannot find a solution. They tried a new shifter plate but the problem still exists. I'm waiting to hear back from the service manager about what VWoA should try next.
The T-Reg has 72k miles on it...
Golf V R32 :: Braking Malfunction When Downshifting
When I downshift while braking, especially in the lower gears, it feels like the brake pedal depresses further. And why does this happen?
Also, do people find you get cleaner downshifts if you have the gas pressed down a little, or do you downshift while braking, or just downshift without either?
Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Downshifting From 5th Gear To 1st While Braking
The downshifting while braking is very obvious during braking, I can literally feel the gearshifts going down from 5th Gear to 1st as I brake. I have driven a wide range of cars but haven't experienced this earlier. Is there any modification that can be done or added to change this and make it smoother like usual cars?
View 28 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Rough Downshifting When Braking At Higher Speeds Particularly On Inclines
My 2006 3.6 awd has developed a propensity to roughly downshift when braking at higher speeds particularly on inclines. The VW shop cannot replicate the problem, but a tech is driving the car for a few days. What might be the cause of this?
View 8 RepliesTouareg :: Engine / Transmission Surge At End Of Braking
When stopping (say, at a stop sign or red light), there is a considerable surge just as the car stops. If your foot is lightly on the brake, the car will actually ease (or even, lurch) forward a few inches. More aggressively applying the brake will prevent the movement, but there is still a noticeable and audible engine/transmission surge. I don't mean to imply that this is really terrible - just a little weird and disconcerting. My most recent "VW" was a 2001 Audi 2.7T V6. I didn't notice this in that vehicle. Perhaps it is just an inevitable result of the engine/transmission combination in this case. Dunno.
View 24 RepliesTouareg :: Bang When Downshifting From 5th To 4th Gear
I have been having this problem for the better part of a year, about 80% of the time when my transmission tries to downshift from 5th to 4th gear I hear a loud thud/bang which shakes the vehicle. The other 20% of the time the donwshift is smooth. I have tried manually shifting and get the same result. The problem does not seem to be getting worse. I have adjusted my driving and when accelerating in 5th gear at moderate speeds I accelerate just enough to keep tranny in 5th, so I don't get the thud.
View 4 RepliesTouareg :: Transmission Malfunction - Jerks When Downshifting
VW replaced my entire transmission and it still jerks into gear when downshifting to a stop or hitting the gas hard while coasting!
Also, I swear there is now binding while turning a la moteur stepper. New tranny. New rear drive shaft. Allegedly new transfer case (I cannot confirm this though). New new new programming. And still the darned thing vibrates by butt with a downshift that a Bettle with 300,000 miles on the clock would not dare make.
Any reference to the operation of the transmission and the sequencing of the various clutches and other coupling devices with respect to gear selection and engine conditions?
Touareg :: Transmission Groan On Downshifting Under Acceleration
I took my Phaeton in for a transmission noise and they are saying it's "normal" for V8 Touaregs and Phaetons to have this noise on downshifting under acceleration from 4th to third at around 40 MPH. Yes?

When my TREG is downshifting from 3rd to 2nd gear, it sometimes blips the throttle just a bit before settling into 2nd. Almost like one would do when down shifting a manual transmission.
View 3 RepliesPrius V :: Low Beam Don't Provide Outstanding Illumination
My headlights provide outstanding illumination in the Hi Beam mode, but in Lo Beam they just don't provide adequate road lighting. I was wondering if it is possible to adjust them? Also, I noticed my Navigation Map lighting is too bright at night. I checked my settings and they are in the Automatic Mode for lighting. The only way I can get the Navigation Map to dim at night is to put it the Manual Mode. I just went over 5K miles on my Prius V and it's a great car.

My '08 Ford Fusion and '07 Jeep Wrangler do this but for some reason my '10 RX 350 does not.
I tried looking in the vehicle settings but could not find anything. I just want the vehicle to beep at me when fuel mileage gets low as I've gotten within less than 10 miles the last few tanks before I noticed that I need to fill up.
Prius C :: 2014 - Heated Seats Don't Provide Consistent Heat
I have a 2014 Prius C Four. It just ticked over 5000 miles on the odo and I really like this car so far. There are a few annoying things, one of which is the way the heated seats work. In my other car, the heated seats had three heat levels. Once you set it, the seats come up to temperature and stays there. The Prius heated seats are just on/off. The annoying part is that when you turn it on, the heat is really inconsistent. For the past few winter months, I pretty much leave the seat heaters on all the time. During my commute, the seat temperature will go up and down about a dozen times. The temperature will rise to an almost uncomfortable level then drop back down to where you can barely tell they are on. The temperature cycles up and down and it's really annoying.

So I noticed my Treg makes a clunk when I break when backing up. If I hit the gas, then brake, 'clunk'. Sounds like its coming from the rear or undercarriage. Hopefully not serious but its going in for service soon.
View 10 RepliesTouareg :: When Braking Both Of Caravan Indicator Lights Also Come On
I've just had a brake controller fitted to my 2006 Treg R5. Everything is working fine however when braking both of the caravan indicator lights also come on too (but not on my treg). The tow bar was fitted by the VW dealer and the brake controller was fitted by my local tow bar specialist. After spending two and a half hours checking wiring etc yesterday, we're no closer to a fix .
View 7 RepliesTouareg :: Brake Dust / Noise When Braking
Have a lot of noise when braking? If I stop the car quickly with heavy braking I generally have no squeaking until about the last second when I am letting back up off the pedal.If I am just stopping slowly, the brakes will squeak for the entire distance of the stop.I don't have excessive brake dust showing up on my rims. And it doesn't really work if I wash the rims and spray off the pads and rotors. It may squeak less for the first time braking but will be back to its normal self by the time I brake the second time. I am at 8K miles right now and I'm pretty sure this has been going on since the beginning.

I get an audible 'clunk' whenever I brake while in reverse. The sound reminds me of my old 4X4 when I would back up to take it out of 4 wheel drive. I searched for some existing posts but didn't get the keywords right or they don't exist.
