Camry :: 2011 - Whilst Adjusting Seat In Car Won't Sense Seatbelt And Airbag Turns Off?
My mom drives a 4 cyl 2011 Camry le. Basically when I adjust the seat while in the car it turns off the airbag and won't sense the seatbelt. The dealer keeps telling my mom that when I get in the car it knocks the sensor off. I am a big guy 6'7 around 400 pounds so they are saying that the car thinks its been hit and makes the airbags go off. Basically they aren't doing anything and won't refund the car for a new one or anything. They just say oh well just don't adjust the seat when you're in the car and with the key in. Just trying to understand why toyota isn't doing anything. They have been so rude about the whole thing. Is there a "weight limit" for a seat in a Camry?

I am a newbie of the Golf R32. There is something curious when the operation speed of more than 120km On the right side of the engine compartment are as mad as a strange noise.
Quite a loud noise like whistling, as a rapidly rotating. Is this the original R32-sounding? I heard this noise because the sound generator is this true?
Passat (B6) :: Loud Air Whistling Noise From Glove Box
I haven't had my 06 Passat long, but I noticed today that, when the fan is on high, there is a loud air-rushing sound coming from the glove box. I know the glove box has a little port to let in cool air (I guess to keep your owners manual cool), and when I open the glovebox I can feel a square hole with air rushing out.
I am guessing there is probably some gasket that seals the glove box to this vent hold when its closed, and its most likely not sealing correctly.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Loud Whistling Noise Right After Starting
My car has started making this loud whistling noise. It only happens when right after starting it when it's sat for a few hours and fades out within 30 seconds but has lasted for a couple minutes before. It drives fine but I know the sound isn't normal. Here's a video of the noise: [URL] ....
View 1 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: Loud Whistling / Wining Noise When Started It Up
So out of nowhere my car made a loud whistling/wining noise when i started it up in the morning last saturday. i applied some pressure to the clutch and it went away. talked with a vw master-tech buddy of mine and he said it possibly might be the slave/throwout bearing, but couldn't tell me until the car is opened up for inspection.
Fast forward to this morning, car ran fine and the noise was intermittent. get to a stoplight and the clutch pedal travel was 1/2 what it usually is. made another shift and the pedal fell to the floor. i was able to limp it to my jobs parking lot.
Now as we all know, this isn't an inexpensive repair and while the trans is open would be the optimal time for a clutch replacement. However, the clutch felt fine with no slippage prior to this hiccup. I am opting to just replace parts that are no longer functioning, but if i need to replace the clutch. which kit(s) should i consider? my car is a daily driven with occasional runs thru the mountains and canyons.
My mods: blue haldex controller/miltek catback/neuspeed pulleys/neuspeed chip/vf mounts/among other suspension upgrades.
Camry :: Blower Fan Started Making Loud Whistling Sound?
Today in the morning it was slightly cold so I turned on the heat in my car. The fan started making a loud whistling sound and in about 2 minutes it stopped. Is this a sign of a bad fan?
View 2 RepliesAlignment - Acura - Integra :: Loud Rolling Sound From Around The Wheels
I have been hearing this somewhat loud rolling sound lately for my 97 Acura Integra, it usually occurs when it reaches a certain speed on the high way, say around 55/60+ MPH. It seems to be coming from around the wheels. Could this be due to unbalanced tire pressure for the tires, or do I need a new alignment? I did recently poured some generic Power Steering fluid as my PS tank was getting low, could this have caused the rolling sound, that perhaps I should have only used Honda/Acura PS fluid? I had replaced two axles last year, so it is unlikely it's due to that.
View 6 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: 2002 GTI - Loud Whistling Sound On Cold Start
I am having an issue with my 2002 GTI 1.8T. I have tried searching for an answer to this, and found a couple things saying maybe it could be the secondary air pump but wanted to get more opinions before I go shell out money to chase this problem.
When I start up the car in the morning after having it sit overnight, the car does the normal thing where it increases rpm's to about 1100 to warm it up. During this a loud "whistling" noise can be heard. Once the car is warmed up a little bit, the rpm's decline to about 900, and the whistling sound goes away. When this happens though it almost sounds as if a valve or something is closing causing the noise to go away.
Also, I am unsure if this is related to this, sometimes when I am driving, I will be accelerating and the car seems to stop accelerating as strong as it was, boost goes down from around 8 or 9 psi to about 4 and I seem to lose power as if I had let off the gas some. When I put my foot further down the car accelerates harder again and boost goes back up.
I have already changed spark plugs, cleaned MAF sensor, and run the 3m 3 part engine cleaning kit through it.
Acura - Legend :: 1994 - Loud Hum / Bluish Smoke Appears From Under The Hood
OK, so go out to my 1994 Acura Legend, crank it, hear a loud hum that doesn't go away, then bluish smoke appears from under the hood. Immediately shut off the engine and open the hood to release the smoke. Haven't touched it since.
View 3 RepliesToyota - Tacoma - Belts :: 1997 - Loud Roaring And Whistling Noises Mostly When Idle
My Tacoma makes very loud roaring and whistling noises mostly when I am idle and the brake is engaged while the clutch is depressed. Sometimes, she'll rear and balk continuously --- even more loudly --- depending on the outside temperature and her level of activity. I need to get her fixed, but live in the New York City area and am a broke graduate student terrified of getting ripped off. Do you think it's just belts? My transmission (sometimes I can feel the noise in my gear shifter)?

I recently upgraded from my '14 IS 250 to a '15 GS 350. So far I am loving the car except for one thing. When driving above 50mph, there is a very loud whistling/squeaking noise coming from the driver side mirror area that is driving me crazy when the window is open. If i close the mirrors, it goes away.
I plan to have the dealer look when i go for the 5k service.
Azera HG (2011-16) :: Whistling Noise From Rear Window At 50 Mph
Just picked up my 2013 Tech. Noticed a whistling sound at the rear window at 50 mph. It is constant at that speed. If i press the recirculate air button to recirculate the air in the cabin it stops. Bring in fresh air and the noise it there again... I sat in the back seat today and tried to find where it was coming from, not able to pinpoint but it is definitely around the back window.
View 13 RepliesFord 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: 2003 - Turbo Whistling Very Loud At Idle / High RPMs?
So I just purchased my first diesel a couple weeks ago (2003 f250 Lariat). I love it! However, I'm having concerns about my turbo whistle on it. At idle and while in higher RPMs is sounds ridiculously loud (even at 0 PSI in the boost). I've been doing my research on it and I know the 03's have the loudest sounding turbos because they have less vanes than the later models. I know without a video it's going to be hard to diagnose, but I am wondering if a loose boot would cause a turbo whining sound through the exhaust? I have yet to hear ANY other diesel in person that has a turbo whine as loud as mine.

I've got a 2011 F350 Lariat crew cab and when i get up to 75 mph with a cross wind, there is a whistling noise. it sounds like a turbulent whistle as if its blowing across the ribbed portion down by the wipers. I tried to get audio but for some reason my phone wont pick up the noise, but its extremely loud at times. Sometimes it will wake up the kids if they're napping in the back seat.
View 14 RepliesSonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Whistling Noise Emanate From Passenger Side Windshield Area
I have a new 2013 Hyundai Sonata SE. At speeds of 50 mph or more, there is a high pitched whistling noise which seems to emanate from the passenger side windshield area. I believe the noise is caused by a faulty windshield seal. I recall a similar whistling noise when I had a windshield replaced on a vehicle years ago by. I called Safelite Autoglass back, and to their credit, they sent someone out to re-seat the windshield, which resolved the problem. So I'm assuming the dealer will be able to do the same. I hesitate to call it wind noise because all cars have that to one extent or another.
View 9 RepliesAcura - Integra :: 1987 - While Starting Loud Noise Produces - After Starting Runs Smoothly
1987 Acura Integra Automatic, 160k I have been noticing - mostly for every start (there are a few in between that did not have that sound).
When starting, a loud sound (some what unbearable) heard and was hesitant and then the engine starts. Once started it runs fine. It is not the usual sound that the ignition makes when going bad.
What seems to be the issue? Right after I drained and filled AT fluid, it heard the first time. I have been doing AT fluid since nearly 10yrs ago with Honda fluid. I only did drain and fill and it went smoothly. In 2007, the tranny was replaced. After starting, the car runs smoothly - it is only when starting or just before engine try to start. Batt and alternator tests fine.
It hardly did it today - I might have once heard a girding sound just before starting.
Camry :: 2010 Shakes When Reaching 90mph
just yesterday I took a long trip with my camry and noticed that when I reach 90mph I started to feel the steering wheel shake which makes me think that the engine standoffs need to be replaced?
Also I just found out that the dealer hid damage to the paint by putting their sticker over it, I bought the car a month ago but I dont know what to do?
Prius (2004-09) :: New 2007 - Faint Pop When Reaching About 70 MPH
I got into a situation on the expressway last night where I had to floor it from a dead stop and keep it floored. I was reaching about 70 MPH when I heard a faint "pop". The exclamation point came on, the check engine light came on and the car immediately started slowing down. I switched to the screen where it shows if the motor is running and it wasn't. I thought I blew the engine. I got to an exit on battery only and shut it down. Opened the hood and couldn't see anything out of the ordinary and no oil under the car either. Also checked the oil and it was fine.
I got back in, tried it and the motor started but the exclamation point and check engine light are still on. Now I'm scared of it.
It's got 110,000 miles on it and bought it used.
Suzuki :: 2008 - Harmonic Noise Upon Reaching 50 To 60 Mph
2008 Suzuki Grand Vitari V6 4WD. What could be causing a harmonic noise upon reaching 50 to 60 mph? It is intermittent and can last for hours on a long trip. It doesn't matter if AC is on. It sounds like a piece of plastic is stuck in the air vents, a high pitch.
