lipspoiler Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Several times while driving, my radio has turned its volume up on its own. I will see it out of the corner of my eye on the display; the vol. goes from 6 to 7, or whatever. Just one notch up. There are no steering wheel controls, so there's no way anything is accidentally touching anything. Wierd!!! Anyone else had this happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmm def Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 A lot of us have had the ghost. It happens on my car every 4 months or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subatwo Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 yep...happened to me before too. I posted a msg awhile back, but no one responded. so i figure i was hallucinating or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2.5GTurbo Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Same happened here. I also posted a thread about my instrument illumination turning itself up and down and the stero and HVAC controls not lighting up on occasion. Weird stuff... or bad circuity? At least my GT starts everyday and can out run most other cars I run into... That's more than I can say about most of my other cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyjojoe Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 well as long as it's a friendly ghost, it's fine right? seriously, the issue 2.5GTurbo is talking about has been addressed in about a hundred other posts. if you experience that, most people just turn the car off and then on again and it goes away. if you're really concerned, take it to the dealership and ask them to check all the wiring and harnesses. for your volume problem, i've never heard of this before. i would contend that your knob is actually not settled and some vibration or something pushes it into the next stable point. i'm just guessing, and my only indication is because it only goes from 6 to 7 and not to 15. if it starts jumping more than one, then it's time to call an exorcist.

elle Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Hey, Â I just started getting the same problem.. except the volume goes up and down more significantly than that. I just called my dealership (planet subaru) and they said that i should let the mechanics know about it when i come in for my first oil change. (22nd). PM me if you want any updates on it. He said they'd never heard of the problem before, but that since it sounds like a problem with the internals of the car it'll only get worse... way to make me feel good. he also said that i still have warranty on it, so i should be ok for the time being... what do i do after the warranty? =P oh geez...

If you're going to keep the car awhile, have your dealer extend the warranty. I have 5 years/100,000 miles on mine. Covers EVERYTHING other than normal maintenance/wear&tear items. Only cost $1200. You figure you're definitely going to spend far more than that over the course of 100,000 miles!!!! They call it Gold Plus coverage from Subaru.

NonovUrbizniz Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Mine does the same stuff... It A. Switches to CD while listening to the radio B. The volume goes up and down on it's own  A. has happened like 15-25 times B.

NonovUrbizniz Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I don't even want to get into it... Rear seat headrest is stuck won't come out or go down. Idle is lumpy as hell. Milage is like a turbo for my non turbo. Car SMELLS at EVERY opportunity it has... clutch, brakes, cats, smells like gear oil sometimes (rarely) and a couple of others I can't really identify Burns oil abt .5-1qt every 3k miles. Misc. Trim pieces have fallen off or broken. TERRIBLE fit and finish on the car... there is not ONE door or adjustable panel on the outside of the car that lines up correctly besides the rear bumper. I've got EVERY rattle/Noise issue EVER posted here... IE Clutch squeek and rattle, windshield rattle, my pass seat shakes like it has tremors at certain RPMs/Speeds... Basically I got this car because I was tired of driving my 93 civic with mods because it was too loud and rattly... I now daily drive the civic again because after a couple of hours of work it runs smoother and better with 206k miles than my brand new subaru does... Oh did I mention it was shipped with 2 bad o2's that were SOO bad that there was SOOT on my tailgate after driving maybe 20 miles.

Oops- gotta stop drinking at lunchtime  I didn't get any flack about the raped pic except for the one guy who felt "personally offended". I should have just apologized and told him I didn't consider that maybe some people on here have done time (besides donjaun ).

Lotus Guy Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Hate to drag up an oldie but this is happening with my 06 LGT too. I thought it had happened a couple months ago, but wasn't positive. It happened last night for sure though, jumped one notch and then a couple seconds later started jumping and dropping several notches. I moved the volume myself and it went away. Seems like an odd issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydrew Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Tsi hit the nail on this one previously. At first I sort of doubted it but whenever you adjust the volume be sure that you leave the volume dial in a notch (click) it's easy not to. Since being mindful of this, volume fluctuations have not occurred. ProTUNED by RaminiSports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
