Was wondering if anyone is having the same issue as me? I keep on getting 2different messages randomly after driving for a long period of time (40min+)

1st message is Battery consumer switch protection on. No clue what this is, but happens either when I turn on the car or after a long period of driving. Air Condition shuts off while driving and can't be turned on unless I restart the car. Gets annoying when driving in 90+ weather on the freeway and have to pull over to get my AC back on.

2nd message is Auto Start/Stop function deactivated. I disabled the feature since day 1 of owning the car, but after driving for a while, the message appears. When the message comes on, the fans on the car goes crazy and it sounds like a Jet engine. Can't activate or deactivate the auto start/stop function. Again becomes ok after I shut the car off.

The car has been to the dealer 2 times for the problem and it still occurs. 1st time they couldn't duplicate the problem. 2nd time when the message came on, I drove straight to the dealership. They blamed it on the hardwired radar detector I had, so we took that out. Now it is still happening. I have one of the earlier 2011 TT and have 20,000 miles so far. Wondering if anyone is experiencing the same thing?

 

Damn sorry.

Not similar issues from mine.

Best of luck, sorry I'm no help with this response.

 

I had the same issue right before my belt came off ( long story tech made a mistake). Have them take off the belt and inspect it all the way around. You cannot see it unless it is taken off. IF the belt is off just a little bit you will have problems

 

Only time I saw the message"battery protection on"was one morning after having left the low beams on all night
I did not mind it, cause when i turned the fob,my pepper started right away with that lovely throaty rumble
