  1. I was thinking the same thing, pop it off and hit the sharp edge with a file.
  2. There are three fuses on the top of the battery terminal. Did you check those?
  3. I PMed you about this, check it please and get back to me.
  4. Mine is a 2014 Sport and it works fine. I just step on the brake and push start. Looks like a dealer visit for you buddy.
  5. Do you have the part number handy? I want to see if these will fit my 2014 Sport
  6. It sounds like you may have a bad CV joint. When the bearings go bad you develop play in the joint. Jack your car up (ramps are better) and grab your half shaft(s) and wiggle them. There should be no play. Good luck Nate
  7. So I just received my Kensun HIDs that I ordered from Amazon this week. I also ordered the relay and will be posting the install in pictures. I ordered with the assurance that there is a 2 year warranty on the kit and lifetime on the ballasts. It is a 55w/5000K kit and I paid $70 shipped. The ballasts are the digital slims, and they are fairly weighty. The wiring is of a pretty thick gauge and the kit seems generally well put together. I'll let you know as I go. Nate
  8. Sorry bro, that's $200 over the new price on EBay. You might want to drop that price and you'll get some takers.
  9. So this is a one week impression of the AWD sport. First off, mileage, I started out at about 14mpg, added a K&N panel filter and now I'm sitting at about 18.5 after 500 miles of break-in. I had a 2011 Sport FWD base model for a year and I must say that the features on my new one (which is completely loaded) are awesome! BLIS, driver convenience key, powered tailgate and the Vista Roof are all great. The AWD is also really nice to have as I always thought that my previous Sport was having a really hard time putting power down, now I just punch it and it goes! I've got quite a bit of boxes coming, DriveBright tails-DRLS-HIDs, magnaflow exhaust, ADDCO sway bar and H&R springs. There is a local tuner here in Phoenix that wants to try to adapt the Mustang supercharger, but I'm worried the PTU won't take the power. We'll see. Cheers Nate
  10. Thanks, just little tricks learned from years of mistakes.
  11. Try this. Buy a can of waterproof silicone lubricant, take off your front wheels and spray the area where the spring meets the top strut hat where the rubber bushing is (no WD-40 or oil based lube!). Also spray at the bottom where the spring meets the lower strut collar and see if the noise goes away. A little trick you can do is to buy some spiral cable loom, jack up the front to uncompressed the spring, and thread the spiral loom onto the bottom where it meets the lower strut collar.
  12. Wow, that's a lot of issues. Conversely, I have a 2011 Sport with 60,000 miles that has never has 1 issue. No PTU seals, no audio or Sync issues, nada. As for performance, I put an AFE dry filter in it, and my GTech pro says 6.5-6.7 to 60 consistently. With a Tribeca running about 7.8 to 60 under perfect conditions, I doubt you get "smoked". But hey, good luck with the repairs and remember that you would spend $10-20 thousand more for a comparable import such as an X3 Sport, X5 sport 3.0, Audi Q5 3.2, ML350 or the like and have just as many or more issues. My "other" car is a 2012 Grand Cherokee SRT8, maybe you should take a look at that, I smoke everything under an $80 grand window sticker (except those pesky Corvettes). I get 12 MPG doing it, but its fun! Good luck
