2007 Dodge Caliber Complaint Log

I WAS SITTING AT A STOP SIGN WHEN MY ABS AND ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND THIS ANNOYING DINGING STARTED I MADE A LEFT TURN AND MY TIRES WOULD BE OUT OF CONTROL MAKING ME THINK I WAS HAVING A STEERING PROBLEM ,JUST PARKING WOULD BE A PROBLEM AND THIS ANNOYING SOUND WOULD STAY ON UNTIL U PARK THE CAR THIS WAS DONE ON A HIGHWAY I WAS TOLD BY A DODGE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS MY ABS MODULE AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SO I CHECK FOR A RECALL AND FIND OUT THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR ON A LOT OF OTHER CARS BUT NOT MY VIN#.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE K MEMBER JUST BROKE AS HE APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION. IT IS NOW ON A TRAILER UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN.

FRONT SUBFRAME IS RUSTED SO BADLY THE BOLTS ARE BARELY ATTACHED TO THE STEERING COLUMN, SO CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MILEAGE: 126,000. DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE CLAIMS THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY THROUGH 2016 TO FIX THIS, BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE NOTICE AS I HAD BOUGHT IT USED IN 2014 FROM A NON-DODGE DEALERSHIP. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC IS QUOTING $1200 TO REPAIR, INCLUDING $700 FOR THE SUBFRAME ITSELF FROM CHRYSLER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE FROM MANY OTHER DODGE CALIBER OWNERS, SO THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.

THE ENTIRE SUBFRAME IS RUSTED THROUGH AND IS STARTING TO CRACK, AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS, WHILE THE REST OF THE CAR IS IN GOOD CONDITION. WHEN I TURN LEFT, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR MAKES A "CRUNCHING" SOUND DUE TO THE RUST ACCUMULATED ON THE SUBFRAME. THE RUST THAT HAS ACCUMULATED HAS MADE THIS CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AS IT IS STARTING TO CRACK AND COULD CRACK COMPLETELY THROUGH WHEN I AM DRIVING. OTHER DODGE CALIBER 2007 SUBFRAMES HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THIS ISSUE, AND THIS VIN SHOULD DEFINITELY BE ADDED TO THAT RECALL.

THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE CV AXLE PULLED OUT BECAUSE OF THE RUSTED SUB FRAME. THE CAR HAS 137,000 MILES ON IT AND THE REST OF THE CAR IS NOT RUSTY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MY GIRLFRIEND COULD'VE BEEN HURT. SHE HAS KIDS THAT COULD'VE BEEN HURT IF THEY WERE IN THE CAR. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. REIMBURSEMENT OR A PORTION OF MY $1300 WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED BACK.

WHEN IN CRUISE CONTROL AT BETWEEN 70-75 MPH AND GOING UP A LONG INCLINE (CAJON PASS) THE ELECTRICAL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR QUITS RUNNING, AND TO DATE STARTS AGAIN AFTER LOSING ABOUT 5MPH AFTER SEVERAL HEARTBEATS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW WITH LESS THAN 6000 MILES ON IT.

AT FIRST, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WOULD BEGIN FLASHING WHEN I HIT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND I LOST POWER. COULD NOT GO OVER 35 MPH. THEN BY THE TIME I MADE IT OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE LIGHT STAYED FLASHING ALL THE TIME. AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REGAIN PROPER POWER AT ALL. IT USES A TON OF GAS AND WHEN SITTING IN PARK, IF I PUSH THE BREAK PEDAL, THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE UNDER WHERE THE SHIFTER IS LOCATED. WITH LOSING POWER ON THE HIGHWAY, OTHER TRAFFIC AND MYSELF WERE IN DANGER. I LOOKED ONLINE AND MANY MANY PPL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO LUCK OF FIXING THE PROBLEM EVEN AFTER HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AT THE MECHANIC. ALSO, MANY HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS AND HAVE GOTTEN NO WHERE AND VERY NEGATIVE RESPONSES WHEN CALLING DODGE. I DONT HAVE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR REPAIRS AS I AM ON DISABILITY. HOPE THIS HAS BECAME A RECALL ISSUE AND I DONT HAVE A HUGE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. I TRAVEL TO DRS ALOT

WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE I HEARD A NOISE FROM THE REAR OF VEHICLE, I TOOK THE CAR TO A GARAGE, THE MECHANIC CHECKED IT THEN CALLED ME ' NOT TO DRIVE IT ' THAT THE REAR AXLE/SUSPENSION CRADLE WAS ROTTED OUT. I CONTACTED A CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER CORPORATION EXTENDED THE WARRANTY DUE TO THIS ISSUE FOR 10 YEARS WHICH ENDED IN 2017. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ONLY TO FIND OUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLS, I ASKED HOW CAN THAT BE SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND I ASKED WHY WASN'T THE OWNERS OF THESE CARS NOTIFIED TO GET THEM CHECKED (NO ANSWER), I TOLD THIS WOMAN THAT THEY KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM (USING SUBSTANDARD STEEL) AND I KNOW THAT SOMEONE WILL BE HURT OR KILLED DUE DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE.

THIS IS THE 2ND COMPLAINT I FILLED WITH CHRYSLER CORP. THRU NHTSA CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, 1ST COMPLAINT WAS #11186050 CONCERNING THE REAR CROSS MEMBERS/REAR AXLE CRADLE ROTTING OUT (CHRYSLER ACTION 23-012-14 THIS ACTION EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS). I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS ACTION THRU TALKING WITH A FRIEND WHO WENT THRU THIS SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER CORP. CONTACTED ME TO STATE "THAT ALL OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED !" THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2007 AT BERGER MOTORS IN HAZELTON, PA. NEITHER BERGER MOTORS OR CHRYSLER CONTACTED US ON THIS ISSUE, SO HOW CAN CHRYSLER CORP MAKE THIS STATEMENT THAT ALL OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED !!! THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 75,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT !

THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TIPM IN THESE VEHICLES AND THEY HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME TIPM WHEN THIS MODULE FAILS THE HEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING AND THERE IS NO REPAIR OTHER THEN PAYING DODGE TO FIX IT AND THEY WANT 1000$ THEY HAVE RECALLED OTHER MODELS OF CHRYSLER JEEPS AND DODGES WHICH HAVE THIS SAME MODULE BUT NOT THE CALIBER. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. MY LIGHTS FAILED WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT. SO THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE.

LOWER FRONT SUB FRAME ROTTED OUT CRACKED AND WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THAT IT WAS RECALLED IN 2017

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CALIBER. WHILE DRIVING UPHILL, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE REAR AXLE CRADLE WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,900. THE CONSUMER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. *JS *AS *AS

STUCK IN LIMP MODE

THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY LOSE ALL ACCELERATION AND POWER WITH NO WARNING. EVENTUALLY THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE BUT WILL EVENTUALLY GO OFF. THE GAS PUMP AS BEEN REPLACED, THE THROTTLE CONTROL HAS BEEN REPLACED, AND THIS IS STILL HAPPENING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE ME TO GET REAR-ENDED AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. IT'S EXTREMELY SCARY BECAUSE THIS WILL HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND GOES NO WHERE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS AS WELL. ALSO, I'M PREGNANT. I AM AFRAID FOR MYSELF, MY CHILD, AND THE FATHER OF MY CHILD BECAUSE WE ALL RIDE IN THIS CAR EVERY DAY!!! THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!! SEARCH THE INTERNET, THIS IS HAPPENING TO EVERYONE, NOT JUST ME!!!

WHILE DRIVING CAR, IN MY EXTREMELY BUSY CITY, A CLUNKING SOUND STARTED TO OCCUR FROM UNDERNEATH. THE CAR BEGAN TO FEEL UNSTABLE TO DRIVE AND IS ESPECIALLY BAD WHEN TURNING CORNERS OR HITTING A BUMP. AFTER TAKING IT TO GET A POWER STEERING LINE LEAK REPAIRED, THE MECHANICS INFORMED ME THAT THE K FRAMES OR SUB FRAMES WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND WOULD NEED REPLACED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN HOPES OF GIVING IT TO MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER WHEN SHE GETS HER DRIVER'S LICENCE NEXT MONTH. AFTER LOOKING FOR RECALLS, I SEE THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED JUST LAST YEAR. I NEED TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR. AT ONLY 119,000 MILES THIS SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AMONG DODGE CALIBERS AND IS VERY UNSAFE!

RED LIGHTNING BOLT ON SAID THROTTLE BODY SO REPLACED THAT ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY STILL NO POWER ONLY GOES 25 MPH WAS TOLD ELECTRIC ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT NOT SURE SO MANY PEOPLE WITH ISSUE ON SAME CAR I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A BACK ROAD WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING VIOLENTLY. PULLED OVER AND SAW THAT THE REAR PASSENGER TIER WAS LEANING INTO THE WHEEL WELL. THE CAR WAS MOVING. I BELIEVE THAT THE REAR CHASSIS RUSTED AND CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING I CONTINUED ABOUT THE SAME SPEED( USING MY TACHOMETER) FOR ABOUT 3 MILES AND MY CAR ABRUPTLY LOST ALL POWER ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET HIT. I MAKE IT OFF THE HIGHWAY TO THE SHOULDER AND THE CAR WILL BARELY IDLE AND HAD NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION CAUSED BY A FAULTY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (THROTTLE BODY) THAT IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE BY CONSUMERS AND DEALERS

THIS IS MY THIRD TIME THAT THIS CAR HAS NOT STARTED. FOR NO REASON WITH A NEW BATTERY IT WON'T TURN ON AND HAS NO POWER AT ALL. NO POWER TO THE LIGHTS, LOCKS, RADIO OR DASH. NOW IT HAS LOW POWER AND WHEN IT'S TURNED OFF WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION IT'S MAKING A TICKING NOISE EVERY 30 SECONDS. I HAVE TO WAIT AGAIN TO GET THIS JUMPED AND I WANT OUT OF THIS VEHICLE. I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE IN THIS CAR WITHIN 10 MONTHS AND THE FUSE BOX DOESN'T WORK FOR THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF THIS CAR WITHOUT THE DEALERSHIP COMING AFTER ME.

STRUTS AND BALL JOINTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES SINCE OWNING THIS CAR THE PAST 5 YEARS. CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AFTER SUBFRAME BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. DID SOME RESEARCH AND APPARENTLY THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE. NOT ONLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING WHEN IT BROKE, I HAD MY KIDS WITH ME.
