Touareg :: V6 Jerks Back And Forth When Started And Reversed Out

Our 03 V6 Touareg has had this problem for a while now and the dealer doesn't seem to be able to do anything. When first started in the morning and reversed out of the driveway the car JERKS back and forth really bad. So bad that if you're standing outside the car you can see the car rock back and forth. We use 93oct in the car. There is also hesitation during acceleration. Has done this since day 1.

Touareg :: 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?

Ford :: 2004 Escape Occasionally Jerks While In Park Or Brake

I have a 2004 Ford Escape that has never caused any issues...except now. I have recently noticed that occasionally when I have my foot on the brake, my car makes a forward jerking motion. It never slips out of gear. It just jerks forward. It's not all the time either. Also this morning, my husband went to start the car and while it was still in park, he said it did the same thing. Like I said, the car never shifts out of gear and I never hear grinding gears when I do shift.

It smooth as ever just as long as I don't touch the bake

Ford Excursion :: 2000 - Won't Move Forward - On Acceleration Jerks - Brake Pads / Hoses?

I have an issue with something when I stop. When I apply the brakes and come to a complete stop, right when the forward motion is completely stopped the ex kind of rocks back on the shocks. When that happens the ex jerks just a little. Kind of like if the brakes were sticking to the rotor, or the shocks are sticking. Then when I start to accelerate it jerks again. How can I tell if the brake hoses are bad, calipers are bad, or if it's the caliper slide pins, or if the shocks are bad?

Passat (B6) :: Wipers Did Not Start (Code P0688) - Sometimes Car Jerks

It snowed yesterday. While a good amount of snow was on car I put it in garage with a small heater at 45 degrees ambient temp.

This morning I take the car outside to -10 degree weather and driving down the road I tried to wash the windshield. Wipers did not start. No hum no click no movement. Washer fluid worked tho.

Looking up some info I noticed it could be fuse. Checked fuse. Fuse ok. At a loss here.

Driving again I get a speech through speakers from Torque and the elm327. Missed what it said because of music. So I ran the diagnostic and got the P0688 open circuit. Checked online but nothing definitive as to a fix for this except j271.

Another note worth mentioning. Sometimes when I punch it the car jerks almost like it misfires once or loss of traction. Completely random but maybe its associated with this. Wipers worked yesterday...

Touareg :: 2004 - Foot Brake Depressed Brake Light Stays On?

I have a 2004 Treg with 28k miles. This car has the air suspension and the dashboard with the LCD display.

When the foot pedal break is released, the break light remains on and the center display sounds off the alarm that the foot break is on as the car begins to roll.

After half dozen additional pulls of the break release handle, the issue goes away. This is now happening almost every time the foot break is used.

Subaru - Forester :: Jerks / Lurches And Makes A Loud Noise When Shifting On Cold Start

I have a 2006 Subaru Forester automatic with about 40,000 miles on it. When it gets cold out, I notice that when I first start driving the car, it jerks/lurches and makes a loud noise when shifting from first to second and second to third. When the car warms up after driving for awhile, it doesn't do it anymore. It's much colder here (high today of zero), the car is doing this much more often. I brought it to the dealer and they completely flushed the transmission fluid (which they said looked yellow instead of red/orange??), but it is still making the noise and having trouble shifting in the cold. They said need to take the transmission apart, so I've been leary about taking it back. My husband thinks I should just drive it until it dies and then get a new transmission if needed.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2004 F350 - Truck Shakes Or Jerks Forward On Start Up

It's an 04 F350 6.8L This past winter when it was cold I would start it up and it would rock forward and bounce back as is you shifted in to park while rolling. Now that it's warmed up it won't jerk forward but the whole body shakes only at start up. As much as I like the idea of of the raw torque being so powerful the truck twists with power I don't think that's the case.

Touareg :: When Parking Brake Released In MFI Got Warning Parking Brake Fail To Release

Had my car parked outside of work for about 12 hours yesterday, and in the NYC cold front, the parking break must have stuck on slightly. When I started to move, despite the fact I'd released the parking break, I received a warning in the MFI that said PARKING BREAK FAILURE TO RELEASE. I pulled the handle again and heard it pop just a little more off. Everything worked great after that. If I hadn't received the alert I probably would have driven off with it on. I'd probably have noticed the hesitation and checked the break again, but the alert was useful. Some of the warnings in the MFI can appear to be a pain at times, but it's amazing how thorough a job VW has done monitoring the cars systems and giving real time information if something doesn't work. You just have to make sure you don't get info overload from it all!!

Touareg :: Brake Sensor Just Went Off

My brake sensor just went off at just above 30k miles. She's due in for the 30k service anyway. I've already got the front and rear pads and front rotors ready to install. Those were ordered from Geoff at Allretta some months ago. How long before the remaining pad is worn down completely? Or is this like a "bring it in right away" thing?

I was hoping that the rear rotors would have arrived prior to my sensors going off. Now I suppose I'll just have to swap out the rear pads and reorder new pads when the rotors are available from Allretta.

Touareg :: 2004 - Brake Light Is On

So, my buddy has an '04 Touareg. He went to the local dealer (who are well known for ripping people off) since he had the brake sensor light on. They told him he would have to replace his brake pads AND the rotors as well, for the 4 wheels, coming up to almost $2K. His car only has 36k miles, and I told him I thought they weren't being honest. Why would rotors go bad so early? He drives like a little girl, with no strong braking at all, in dry conditions... He hasn't seen any signs of vibration or lethargy regarding braking, the only indicator being the sensor light. I am trying to convince him on getting a second opinion before he gets mugged by the dealer.

Touareg :: Check Brake Pad Warning Came On - MFI

I washed the Touareg this weekend and when I got in to go to work this morning the "check brake pad" warning came on. It was quite cold after the car wash and the vehicle sat for 12 hours. Could the washing then sitting in the cold have something to do with this warning?

Touareg :: Brake Light Burnt Out?

I know that brake light usage varies by driver. However, this driver has never had to replace a brake light on any car I've owned within the first three years. I know this because several have been leased and I never had to replace any bulb.

My Treg brake light went out last week and I had to replace it. Is a shorter brake light life par for the course here? Any fancy reason? How many brake lights have you replaced?
