Passat (B5) :: Just Cranks For Long Time / Won't Start - Cannot Even Hold Idle
Tried to start it, it just cranks for a long time, it can't even hold an idle. After 5 minutes of cranking and trying to get it running, it starts up just fine like there isn't even a problem. It just started to happen today. I have a 2004 v6 2.6 glx, completely stock.

I just bought a 2002 Grand AM, and the radio displays 'LOCKED'.
I tried: p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }
Looking at the face of your GM Delco radio, hold down the preset buttons 1 & 4 OR 2 & 3 (Depending on year and model) for approximately 10 seconds or until a set of 2 or 3 numbers comes up on the display. Write the numbers down. But the radio continues to display 'LOCKED', and no numbers appear.
Chevrolet - Equinox :: 2005 - Replacing Hold Ups / Carrier Bearings On Drive Shaft?
My mechanic tells me that the hold up or carrier bearings on the drive shaft of my 2005 Equinox need to be replaced. He says that about half the time this cannot be accomplished and that I might have to replace the entire drive shaft. From the research I have done, it seems that a press (?) and blow torches are needed to replace the bearings. I can't afford the new drive shaft, but I could afford to replace the bearings if I could find someone who was sure they could accomplish this.
View 8 RepliesChevrolet - Malibu :: Brake Check Flashed On First Time / Check Oil And Battery Light On For Second Time
Started having problems with my Chevy Malibu (1999, with 95,000 miles on it) while driving two times this week. Both times an alert warning flashed on my dashboard. The first time, flashed the brake check and ABS warning on the left side of the dashboard, and the second time the check oil and check battery warning on the right side. In both cases, after the warnings flashed, the car was still running, but stepping on the gas pedal resulted in no acceleration, but brakes still worked. The steering wheel also locks-up to the point where I can't turn any more. Both times, I stopped and shut off the engine, waited about 30 seconds and restarted, after which everything is fine and normal. The brake pads were changed recently, but not the rotors which may not be in very good shape.

I've noticed that after sitting over night my battery for the hybrid system is not charged enough to operate the car in EV or for the first mile or two it does not seem to use as much electric power to supplement the car. After a couple miles it is charged or near charged and I see more use.

Took 2011 Prius to an oil change service. The "oil change required" message had come on to stay.
Afterward, on the multi-display (I have the smaller, "headsup" display), I see the message, "Settings (Press and hold)". I figured out how to enter the Settings menu, and I have tinkered with every option there-- "Eco", "Steering OFF", etc. But no matter what I do, the "Settings (Press and hold)" message will not go away.
Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Jerking From Time To Time While Driving
I am new to the world of maintaining my own car. I had an issue this morning when I drove my 2011 Elantra. The car started jerking from time to time while i was driving. So I ended up going back home and swapping cars. Other than a coming up oil change, what could the issue with my car be? I am at about 43k miles.

The other day I backed out of my garage and didn't notice that the parking brake was still engaged. The car rolled out without a problem.
Only when I put it in drive did I realize that the parking brake was on, since the car didn't roll forward. I also got an audible alarm.
Elantra MD (2010-15) :: E-brake Does Not Hold The Vehicle Solidly - Buzzing Noise On Highway
I have a new 2015 Elantra GL Manual that seems to have an E-brake that does not feel like it holds the vehicle solidly. I know that the E-brake is probably a small drum brake setup in the rears only but feel like an adjustment can be made to really ratchet that lever up better?
The other issue is a humming, buzzing, vibrating sound in the front passenger side area at hwy speeds. Maybe a vibrating splash shield or rock stuck under the shield?
I was also able to get some new alloy rims for a good price (FAST brand) from the dealer (believe it or not). They aren't the sexiest things to look at but I needed another set of rims anyway to winters and the price was better than plain steelies. I'll probably use the OEM steels for winter now and alloys for summer. The alloys are a little wider at 7 inches than the OEM 6.5 inches and much lighter. I plan on getting Michelin X-Ice soon.
Touareg :: Radio Goes On Every Time On Startup
Is there any way to stop the Nav / Radio unit from turning on the radio each time I start the truck, even if I had previously shut the radio? If I wanted the radio on, I would have turned it on! I can't find anything in the MFI.

I have 2009ls AWD. If I have my radio on, and the GPS announces turning directions, both the radio and the GPS audio are on. This can be very confusing, and dangerous. Is this normal? Is there a fix?
View 2 RepliesGolf/GTI VI :: Radio Starts Autoplaying Every Time Turn On The Car
I have my disc changer loaded, but each time I get into the car, the vehicle starts playing the last disc that was playing - even if I had another input selected.
I usually run music/waze through my iPhone during my commute, but when I get back into the car to go home, boom: music from disc starts blaring.
Is there a fix? I've looked through the menus and haven't found anything about CDs autoplaying. The easiest fix is probably going to be just to remove all of my CDs, but I was just curious if I was overlooking something.
Subaru - Outback :: 2006 - Radio / AC And Blower Went Out At The Same Time
2006 Subaru Outback
I am driving along and my radio go silent. the AC & the blower go out at the same time. I drop off the car in to the Subaru dealer in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. they call me back in a couple of hours and tell me I have bad radio that might work for a while longer but they recommend replacing it. $350 plus tax & labor.
I get the car back and the scan button no longer works & the buttons stick. does this seem right?
Golf/GTI VI :: 2013 - Satellite And Radio Signals Go In And Out All The Time
I am back in a GTI, after totaling my MK4 a year ago, and I just got my new '13 Autobahn, and I have already noticed that the satellite and radio signals go in and out all the time.
Is this a common issue, or is there a fix for it?
Camry 2012+ :: Satellite Radio Reception - Lose Signal All The Time
I bought, new, a 2012 Camry back in 2012. I got the satellite radio option. The reception with satellite is horrible. On the clearest of days, I lose signal all the time making it useless trying to listen to it.
Yes, I understand vegetation can hinder reception. But, it shouldn't to this extent. Not long after I bought the Camry, I purchased a 2010 Ford Fusion. It, too, had satellite radio.
I think, in the 2 years I had the Fusion, I lost signal 2 times. On the cloudiest, foggiest, snowiest, and raniest of days, the Fusion never lost sat signal.
I had the dealer check out the system and they found nothing wrong. I've let my subscription to Sirius expire since I can't even get a decent signal. Is this typical of the satellite radio with Camry's???
Lexus IS 2014+ :: Radio Open Music In ITunes Every Time Turn It On?
Every time I turn on the radio, or even change the volume, it starts to play a random song in iTunes from my Bluetooth paired iphone. Even if I stop it, and close the app in my phone, if I alter any input on the radio, it begins to play the song on it's own. I've tried to alter settings in the phone (nothing actually applies) and I can't seem to find anything other than disconnecting the phone that will stop it. I do want to have both the phone and music usable..any hints?

Wife said the info screen quit for a block this morning. The radio also stopped at the same time. After a block it came back to normal. Is this a sign of something coming? We have a 2005 genII with 80,000 on it.
View 1 RepliesCamry 2012+ :: Radio Cuts Out Every Time When Antenna Float Dust
2012 Camry SE w/ XM radio. My radio cuts out every time a spec of dust happens to float by the antenna. In other words, it's range is absolutely atrocious.
I love everything else about the car, and maybe this is picky, but man is it annoying to have constant cutout while listening to satellite. Now granted, some of my ride to and from work is tree covered, but mainly on one side of the street and I've owned other cars where this wasn't a problem. And maybe it's magnified due to the stupid static-like sound that Toyota built into the radio every time the signal is lost.
Camry 2012+ :: Sync Navigation Volume With Radio / Control Both At Same Time?
Or am I just missing it? Seems kind of crazy that you have to adjust the volume for the radio and navigation separately, with no option to control both at the same. This is on a 2013 SE with the non-hdd setup.
