Dhh3 The front and rear bumper next to the side panels on every side seems to creek and pop upon the slightest touch. It's something I've noticed while cleaning and applying wax and polishing. There is a chance I'm just paranoid because the car is brand new. I compared the spots to my 09 sx4 and they were concrete on that vehicle. That being said the journey to this point is awesome minus a few things I've noticed over the past two weeks. I'm not here to bash... Just trying to get information as I'm on the hook for the next 48 months As stated before I'll post any new info regarding the brake pedal and rear left caliper chirp. I'd also like to pick your brain about the ad mp3 player. Seems I can ask u connect through voice command to play what I want and it does so seamlessly. But when I click things manually it gives a "sd card read error" for a few minutes before playing what I asked. Xm sounds terrible so I've been trying to get my music dialed in. I bought a SanDisk card and just moved files from my computer into it. No iTunes playlist or anything like that.

Will do dhh3. I appreciate you looking into the thread. I'll call the dealer tomorrow and have them note my concerns before our "1000" mile check. The left rear driver side brake makes a chirp noise each time the brake is applied. It's not a grinding chirp or squeak but some sort I'd hydrolic noise. A stuck caliper like you mentioned? I want this car to live up to my expectations. The engine,interior transmission,and exterior looks are fantastic. My brake issue and front and rear panels are not. The 3.6 absolutely hauls this vehicle.

Hey guys, I know this may sound redundant coming from me but I've never had a vehicle's brake pedal feel like this before. I've posted a few times that I get some weird feedback and noise when pushing on the pedal for the first few times. Of course I know the abs will reset upon starting up and first engaging the brakes from time to time but I still get a noise and feel of a spring releasing during my first three or so complete stops. I've also noticed I can get the car to replicate the feeling and noise when the car is off and in park. (Until the pedal can no longer be compressed) it almost feels like something is hanging up somewhere and then releasing. Along my commute it seems to go away until I start it up and head back home. I have 430 miles on our 15 crossroad and its kind of puzzling me. I'll be going back to the dealer in a few weeks but I just wanted to see if anyone has any ideas before I go back. This is something I didn't notice during my two day test drive and its new to me. Other than that the car is great. I have never engaged the parking/ebrake so I have no idea. It could just be the way these vehicles are. Any info or troubleshooting before my appointment will be appreciated. Thanks

I've tried to utilize the sd card slot to play mp3s and it works most of the time. Sure it displays album artwork but it reads "sd card read error" anytime I want to change albums or artists. If I don't touch anything for a minute or two the 8 inch u connect will eventually play what I asked. Is there a particular format or sd card this player prefers to function seamlessly? I can't listen to Sirius because it sounds so terrible.

Indeed!... If you dont have it... That's why you need it..

My bad... Find some new housing builds and steal some scrap 2x4,plastic garbage can,and a circular saw after everyone goes home. Cut the 2x4 to length and strap everything down with ratcheting straps. If available make sure to use your leaf tarp to keep everything dry. Return the circular saw before the morning. Or you could invest in a car rack that would transfer to multiple vehicles in the future for the price of three day admissions to watch 30 yr old actors in parades.

Hey Ryan, I am new to the forum here so I apologize for the delay. Mounting a roof rack is no problem. You need three components: Bars, foot pack, and a fit kit. Since you don't have factory running rails you would need a Thule foot pack 480 and fit kit 1658. The fit kit is car model specific and the 480 foot pack is thules universal foot for almost any vehicle without rails or fixed mounting points. The 480 holds the fit kit and bar into place while the fit kit is contoured and hooks ino the vehicles door. The ONLY car I've come across that needs to be drilled is a wrangler. Any journey with running Bars (sxt or crossroad) needs a 450 foot pack. Here is a link of what you probably need http://www.thule.com/en-us/us/buyers-guide?c=roof+racks&q=vTWnzp6Aq Let me know if you have any questions as I've been installing these for a long time. http://www.thule.com/en-us/us/buyers-guide?c=roof+racks&q=vTWnzp6Aq

Dhh3, Upstate (lake George, saratoga area) where in NY are you from? How did those new brakes and rotors treat you? I only have 300 miles on my crossroad but I've noticed quite a bit of feedback on the brake petal. I know others have mentioned this and I'm not to concerned as I had the same feeling in our last new car. (2009 sx4) I expect to feel the abs while backing out of the driveway or upon the first stop or two, but I get the same feedback quite often during each commute. Again not to worried as of yet, just something I noticed out of the box. Thank you to all who said hello

Good evening, My wife and I just purchased a brand new 2015 fwd v6 crossroad a few days ago. I just wanted to say hello and that I hope to be an active member of this forum. We were able to take this vehicle for an extended test drive as my brother in law works for a local dealership and we were hooked on the second day. It's surprising I don't see more of these around. Our crossroad package has a back up camera on the 8" display,remote start and heated seats and steering wheel. These fluff options were quite difficult to find on a fwd version. I had been driving my wife's first car that she bought in 2000 for 5800 bucks as my everyday commuter (yes the zx2 next to the journey) so even a.c. is amazing. I look forward to meeting, learning, and discussing....
