I was just wondering if anyone had more information on the related TSB or a similar experience. Right now my crossfire makes a creaking or squeaking from the front end when making slower speed right or left turns. No noise is happening during straight driving or when getting in and out of the car. Right now the car has 8,500 miles on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you definitely know if there is a TSB, or are you just asking if there is a TSB?
If there is a TSB, take it to a competent dealer, no worries.

 

I just got my crossfire back from the dealership today. I took it to Parkway Chrysler Jeep in Clinton Twp, MI. It was a beautiful and clean dealership since its only 6 months old. Then when I asked about the number of crossfires they service, the answer was "occasionally". However, the communication with the service rep. was frustrating. I had to call to get updates on what was happening and when I did call the service rep. never had details on what was happening or information on how they were going about fixing the issue. But a day and a half later, the service rep said the only thing found was a loose suspension rod. So I have my fingers crossed that tighten that rod fixed the issue.

I was told by the dealership that I go to that it is the pads moving around in the calipers, and of course that this is normal. I could see that being the case because, like yours, mine only makes that noise when the brakes are applied while turning left or write at slow speeds. I wonder if some aftermarket pads would alleviate this?

People with the Rotex gold pads, do you experience these sounds?

 

I had the same squeak, and then I put aftermarket pads on...end of problem.

 

New pads is something I'm going to do once I use up the existing factory ones. Next time I drive my crossfire I'm going to check when I am braking and if the noise reoccurs. The only other detail is that the noise seemed to happen when the weight of car would shift during a slow controlled turn around neighborhood speed. The dealership said they were able to recreate the noise, which was nice to hear. However, I'm sure the techs had a fun time recreating the problem since there was an extra 10 miles on my car when I picked it up. But, I appreciate the suggestions.

my suspension was really squeaky, i had a local mechanic lube the chasis and it helped quite a bit.
