Phaeton :: Brakes Replaced Now Getting Vibration In Steering Wheel


Nov 9, 2010

I got my Phaeton, certified pre-owned, at 23k miles. Until 45k the brakes were flawless. Steering felt solid, no vibration or feeling of shaking of any kind when the brakes were depressed.

At 45k, I got the telltale "squeak" while depressing the brakes. I took the car in, was recommended to replace all corners, pads and rotors. The replace brakes message did not appear but I was pretty sure it was coming.

So I performed the recommended service at my local, Phaeton certified, VW dealer.

Here I am, 4k miles later, I am getting a vibration in the wheel while pressing the brakes. It seems to have gotten worse from 3k to 4k post-service. Also I hear and feel a "rubbing" noise while reversing that seems to respond to the brake pedal. Almost as if the brakes are engaged while reversing even while I'm not pressing the pedal.

I've had several other cars with warped rotors and the vibration in the wheel would lead me to believe that may be the case here. In my other cars this has only gotten worse with time. So I am contemplating discussing with the service manager to see what can be done. I drive the Phaeton quite gently, not aggressive at all.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Vibration On Steering Wheel When Applying Brakes

I have a Santa Fe 2010 2.4 awd 6AT with 20000km, I live in Ushuaia, Argentina, here the use of salt is normal in winter (a lot of salt). I have one winter and the second is coming with this SUV. Today I was in a road at 120km/h (75mph) and I had to apply brakes. In that moment I noted a little vibration on the steering wheel. After release brake pedal, the vibration disappeared. I checked again with same results, is been posible that my brake discs could be damaged or something is wrong with the brake system? I didn't have any light of malfunction. What is the normal life of brakes discs and pads in a santa fe with normal use?

Golf IV R32 :: Slight Vibration Of The Steering Wheel While Applying Brakes?

So sometimes (only sometimes, of course) when I step on the brakes, I get a slight vibration of the steering wheel. Doesn't seem to make a difference if it's gentle or not-so-gentle braking. Brakes cold or warm doesn't make a difference either. Nor does traveling in a straight line or not at that moment.

My understanding is that "warped" brake rotors are mostly a myth these days, especially for our beefy/hefty rotors. The car did not used to do this.

Rotors are "OEM slotted" from ECS, pads are Porterfield R4-S. All are well within tolerances. I know it's not an out-of-balance wheel, because wheels were swapped front to back not too long ago and there was no change.

So what else ought I check out? Tie rods/ends? Ball joints? I don't know all that much about this aspect of stuff..

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Vibration In Steering Wheel When Applying Brakes

My neighbor has a 2010 or 2011 Screw with only less than 10K miles. He complains that the steering wheel vibrates when he applies the brakes; not all of the time, but most of the time. Could it be pads/rotors? With this mileage, and no stop and go traffic, I cannot believe it would be the pads/rotors.........

Lexus GX 2010+ :: Steering Wheel Vibration When Step On Brakes At High Speed?

I purchased a set of new LTX MS2 tires back in October and a week ago a got a nail on the right front tire, specifically the side wall so they couldn't fix it so they replaced the tire with a new one. Now when I step on the brakes at 60 mph, the steering wheel vibrates. Can the new tire be causing that? I looked at the weights and one set of weights is taped kind of crooked, can the balancing cause it too?

Phaeton :: Strong Vibration Developed After Tire Balancing And Wheel Alignment Done

I had my tires rotated about 2,500 miles ago with tire balancing and wheel alignment done. After this the car developed strong vibrations at between 55 and 65 mph. When the speed goes up or down from that range the shaking stops. If I am going at a speed higher than 65 mph and brake the car shudders until the speed is below the 55 to 65 range.

I had the VW dealer do another tire balance, but the problem persisted. I then went to a Goodyear tire outlet and had them do a tire balance and then another one about two weeks later. The problem is still there. The Goodyear people suggested running the car for a while and see if it improves. It has not about 2,000 miles later

The VW tech rode with me and said that it was warped rotors that caused the vibration, but if the rotors are warped, should this vibration also be felt for other speeds?

Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Entune Unit Replaced - Lost All Steering Wheel Controls

I replaced my Entune unit on my 2013 Persona with a Pioneer Avic Z150BH, best decision I ever made. I expected to lose steering wheel controls for the radio and hands free, but I did not expect to lose the steering wheel controls for my climate control and multi function display. I can no longer use the Disp, Trip, and climate control buttons now.

Phaeton :: Heated Steering Wheel Won't Warm?

My year 11 3L V6 Phaeton has the heated steering wheel button fitted on the right side return of the wheel centre hub and it indeed does press in as though there is a switch there, but the wheel never gets warm and no lights/symbols come up on the console.

I guess the simple question is: Do VW fit these switched even if the option is not installed? I've taken a photo of the options sheet from the manual, at the link below: need to decipher some of these codes, that would be good too.

Prius (2010-12) :: Clunking Noise When Turning The Steering Wheel - Replaced Intermediate Shaft 3 Times?

Our 2012 Prius with now 17,000 miles in 8 months has developed a clunking noise when turning the steering wheel, especially far to the right at low speeds.

The first time the dealer identified it as a failed intermediate shaft and replaced it under warranty. Shortly after we told them it was starting to make the noise again, but they claimed they couldn't replicate the sound and anything they heard was normal 'linkage' (whatever that is). Shortly thereafter the clunking progressed so we took it in for now the third time, and they confirmed the problem, spoke with Toyota who said we must have had a bad part, and replaced it again.

Phaeton :: Removing Scratched Badge From The Steering Wheel?

I have just managed to remove my scratched steering wheel badge on my phaeton. It comprises two parts, the metal holder and a thin metal badge which is glued on. (if you look closely you should be able to see the edge of the badge)

I used a small screwdriver to deeply score the badge many times, then once through, the badge can be prised off with a pair of plyers!! I the cleaned the glue from the surface using nail polish remover and am now awaiting a 50mm stick on VW badge from eBay. Hope it looks good..

Phaeton :: Quirky Steering Wheel Retract When Turn Off The Car?

- If I turn off the car with the door closed, it starts to retract but stops as soon as I open the door.

- If I turn off the car with the door open, it retracts all the way.

Why does it do this? My routine is to take out the keys then open the door, and it always results in the steering wheel about half way retracted.
