hello there,

This is my first post I just bought a 2008 crossfire coupe. I am Getting this crazy loud click. right When I take off a little hard. It also happens in reverse too but worse. I only have 2500 miles on this car. Its sort of a snapping sound from the right rear tire. "like breaking a stick in half sound" I have taken it back to the dealer and They replace both axles free of charge. The problem is still there. any ideas? It also feels like I lost some of the power I had before.

 

it sounds like you may have a problem with your ebrake being engaged.

take it back to the dealer.

if it is non stock rims on it the bolts may be too long.

 

hmmm Its now doing it on both rear wheels and now. im also now getting a squeal at low speeds 5mph from the right rear like the sound you get when the brakes are worn and its hitting the sensor. going to take it in again thursday. I even lost 90% power in reverse last night and had to floor it to get into my driveway. And hope to god they fix it this time. This will be there Third attemp to fix this since I bought it april. Ill fill you guys in on the out come of this. Anyone with an 08 crossfire out there having these issues.?

 

Do you have the stock wheels on the car ? Some folks who have aftermarket wheels have had to cut the lug bolts for being too long !
It's ashame that you're having these kinda issues with a brand new car ! Keep the faith ! They'll get her straightened out !

Oh and welcome to the forum or as I call it your "Perma-grin" Support Group.

 

Hey thanks, Yes everything on the car is bone stock.

 

Update:
Bought car to dealer today. Dealer says both wheel hubs are bad and need to be replaced. I have no idea what those are but I hope it fixes it this time. Mechanic says car is safe to drive so I will have to pick it up sat morning and bring it back when parts arrive. Im currently in a rental a nissan sentra , damn do I miss my crossfire.

 

Just an update:

Dealer finally fixed car after replacing rear hubs, rear diff, axels,and the driveshaft. not bad for an 08 with 3 thousand miles. Thanks for the replys.
