Thanks for the feedback so far guys... It's not a squeak noise, it's a ker-clunk-clunk noise (lower frequency). It's not the clicking noise I hear when the car first starts up and you get that initial ABS clicking. I'll check the wheel lug nuts to be sure and I'll look at the rotors for rust...

Hi All I've noticed a clunking noise when I apply the brake to the car the first few times after it has sat for a while. At this time, I don't know how long the car needs to 'rest' before it occurs. It happens only the first few times the brakes are applied and then for the remainder of the...

Our CX-7 blows a lot of white smoke on a cold start, but I've only noticed it during the winter and it has been quite cold here (Winnipeg) -25C and worse. I look in the rear view mirror and it looks like I'm driving in a fog. When it's been really cold (say -30C) our 7 blows out some black...

@cx7mom Please do. It still occurs in our CX-7 but only when cold. This past Saturday it was only -1C and there was no noise. But it has since dropped back down to -25C and crunching on turns. I only notice it on turns but we're not moving fast (when you slow down to make a turn on a...

Thanks for the feedback guys. It's good, I suppose, to know that it happens to other CX7s under very cold conditions and it's not specific to my vehicle.

Hi All, Just looking for some opinions on the problem and what my service tech told me. I have a 2007 CX-7 AWD with 19,000KM. Here in Winnipeg we're having a wonderful cold snap again and it's hitting -31 (-41 with windchill). A few days ago I heard a clack-clack-clack noise coming from the...

(yippy) Those are perfect, thank you! Looks like all is in place on my CX7. The grille/moulding must be slightly out of alignment in that area. I'll have to try adjusting and readjusting. Thanks for your help! Mark

Here's a photo with the area in question circled in red. If someone wouldn't mind posting a close-up shot of that area for me that'd be great. Then I can combine that with what Shaz provided and see if something is missing. The photo is from someone's gallery sorry I didn't make a note of whose...

Shaz, thanks for the diagram! Emgee

Hi Guys My CX-7 was in an accident back in January, was t-boned by a guy running a stop sign. My front passenger side got shmucked up quite a lot. The front passenger fender was replaced as part of the work and they had to remove the front bumper and refinish it. Anyways, after the accident I...

Steering Wheel Controls... Hi CXRabbit I've been looking at upgrading my unit to a Pioneer as well and with the Scosche dash kit out now, the only thing stopping me is the steering wheel controls (I like having them) :) Anyways, I found this on eBay...

Well, it turns out to be the weatherstripping on the door. It's being replaced under warranty next Monday. I sure hope that does it, because it is soooo annoying. Thanks for the suggestions.

AWmustang How difficult is it (especially in terms of access) to adjust the lights? Emgee

When I get a chance I'll try to snap a photo and post it. It's raining today so most likely not. Thanks for the info.

Hi All When we first got our CX-7 and the Xenon lights kicked in you get that normal distinct 'horizon' line. But as of late, we are seeing a 'stepped' pattern. The 'horizon' line is broken. It is higher on the passenger side and lower on the driver's side and is quite noticable (i.e. it is a...

Oh most definitely not :) This noise just started recently (perhaps a month ago).

Hello Everyone! I'm hoping some here have had experience in tracking down/determining the cause of wind noise and can offer me suggestions on how to go about at least tracking down the cause so I can determine if I can correct it or if I should take it in to the dealership. I'd go to the...

Does the manual show how to adjust doors/moonroof? Hi KatDiesel If you could let me know if the manuals show/explain how to make adjustments to the doors (e.g. to tighten them up so they are snug against the seals) and to the sunroof that'd be good to know for me as I would then order a set...
