Medabum Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I finally got down to my dealer after a busy start to the month to check out out the brake noise and spring feeling in my booster. After explaining that you can push the pedal with the car off to replicate my main concern within 30 minutes the service writer came back apologizing that they didn't catch it the first time. A new booster and rear brakes are on order to be replaced. Previously I posted concerns and a quick video of what I was experiencing. However I do partially attribute the first diagnostic of "everything is ok" to me sending the vehicle down with an employee who probably didn't explain the problem properly. Thank you for all the responses of people who commented on how their brakes feel. I was able to pump the brakes of 4 other journeys on the lot and none of them had the problem that mine had. (just my shitty luck I guess) The service writer did however find it odd that the parts are back ordered with no eta, so I might not be the only one out there experiencing this problem. Again this is a new 2015 crossroad with only 300 miles before I noticed this. I will keep everyone posted on the progress. Bummed I'm going through it, but happy something is happening. rolly and daddyRT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medabum Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Btw, I killed some time on the lot and the new challengers are friggin sweet. If only I didn't have two big dogs and a potential family......sigh.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj cowboy Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 The booster fixed my 13. We looked at Challengers and couldn't get two car seats in the back. Lol. I tried and tried... dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 The booster fixed my 13. We looked at Challengers and couldn't get two car seats in the back. Lol. I tried and tried... That surprises me... they are fairly roomy for what they are. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj cowboy Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 It will be doable once he's in a forward facing seat. The youngest is 8 months old. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I think that if you chose a Hellcat, the booster seats would be pushed so far back into the seat that there would be plenty of room! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj cowboy Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Lol. My wife wants one as much as I do. Actually, I have to talk her out of it. I'm starting to think I need to give up my man card...I need my pants back dammit!! Medabum, dhh3 and Trains123 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 You could always cover the Hellcat logo with black electrical tape! dj cowboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhh3 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Popular Mechanics just rated the Hellcat engine #1 on the list - top ten. The Pentastar was no longer on the list. All the engines listed were either turbocharged or supercharged. I'm saving for an Alfa 4C. I'm hoping that my back will cooperate and let me get into it!

Medabum Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Lol. My wife wants one as much as I do. Actually, I have to talk her out of it. I'm starting to think I need to give up my man card...I need my pants back dammit!! She sounds awesome! Please retain your man card and hold on to that one. I had to justify mpg's on the v6 journey to the wife because I only drive 5 miles a day. Your man pants are fine. Is there anyway you can put one leg into her pants and create ultra mega super resonable yet "let's go fast" smartie pants? However once she took the v6 dj with all the sweet stuff. She wanted the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
