✅ Solved Anybody else have a car that farts at them every time they open the door?

Solution
What the hell 😂
Customer states: Car farts on me when closing door.
Observed: Accurate description, 10/10

I guess there is some unhappy pressure release valve somewhere. I think it's installed behind the passenger side seat, near the subwoofer. Test this by closing the door with the windows down.

Side note: It seems your window drop glass function wasn’t activated by your dealer on PDI. To activate: Get in the car, door open. Hold window switch up two seconds (supposedly there is a click to be heard , never heard it). Release and lower fully, but keep the button pressed down for 2 seconds after full down position is achieved. It should do that click again. Repeat for other side.

Thinking about it the window drop being disabled might be the reason for the over pressure in your case. The window immediately seals instead of giving the air a second to equalize after closing the door. Still sounds excessive 😂

It’s still just a random guess

Thanks for that!
 
Update…. Took it in for a 1000mi post break in service. Reported the fart noise to dealer. They indicated it was not the first time they had seen this issue. They ran a software update in the hopes it would fix it.

It did not.

I’m not super worried about it. Will report it again at next service visit.

Unfortunate to hear that the farting continues :) 💨
