Yesterday while driving home I encountered an unusual problem. While braking both windows decided to open fully. This happened four times within 5 minutes and started to p!ss me off. The car has been fine today but I have booked it in to OPC Mid Sussex to be checked. Anyone else had anything like this? Migration info. Legacy thread was 128671

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The disturbed air flow caused by the open windows acts as an effective air brake - slowing the vehicle more rapidly. Its known as PBOAB - Porsche Brake Operated Air Brake. Migration info. Legacy thread was 128673
No - not heard of this one Dave, but at least it wasn't raining! You would think it must be a crossed sire seomwhere. Migration info. Legacy thread was 128678

What's a crossed sire? Have I missed something? Migration info. Legacy thread was 128683

Sounds like Dave's been mistreating all those horses he has in the back. Migration info. Legacy thread was 128694

Never heard anything like before Dave - maybe the huge breaking forces generated are causing the window switches to be forced forward, thus opening the windows? Sorry, but thats as sensible as can get Migration info. Legacy thread was 128700
Covering up our ignorance with a flippant remark. Do it all the time professionally. Seriously would love to assist, but haven't got a clue. Very weird. Migration info. Legacy thread was 128702
Mind you had someone else posted such a question I would have been the first to come back with something equally flippant . I guess what goes round comes round or whatever it is. I think I will stick to Stevo's explanation 8) Migration info. Legacy thread was 128713
In that case, stand by my boy, you're in for a world of hurt ! :wink: Migration info. Legacy thread was 128719
Are the windows going down at the same time ? When this happens, are you braking very hard ? Are they opening fully ? Did the door lock at the same time ? Did any dash lights come on ? Did it happen on the way to work ? Did the car sit in sunlight all day before you drove her home ? Migration info. Legacy thread was 128732
