YES MY DAUGHTER HAS A 08 DODGE CALIBER BUT THE MANUFACTURER DATE IS 11 07 THE ENGINE CRADLE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. MECHANIC SAID THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. HE SAID POOR ~METAL QUALITY CAUSES THIS. SHE NEEDS HELP WITH THIS. SHE IS STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS.SHE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.THE CAR IS SETTING NOW.

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 BOUGHT A 2007 DODGE CALIBER FROM A YOUNG MAN COME TO FIND OUT HE ONLY PAID $325 OFF OF A CAR LOT HE HAS A DEALERS LICENSE AND HE WAS THE ONLY OWNER BEFORE ME AND DID NOT TELL ME ABOUT THE STRUTS, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THEM ALSO HAS BAD SENSORS ( GAS, ENGINE COOLANT AND PCM INTERNAL SENSORS) SOLD THE CAR KNOWINGLY AND DID NOT GET THE RECALLS DONE WHEN NEEDED I NEED SOMETHING DONE I HAVE FIVE CHILDREN AND ONE GRANDCHILD WHO ARE AT RISK ME DRIVING AND HAVING A WRECK. I DO NOT HAVE A DOCUMENT ABOUT MY STRUTS BUT I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY SEVERAL MECHANICS

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

THE TRANSMISSION ON THE CALIBERS OVERHEAT. THIS CAUSES MECHANICAL PROBLEMS THAT COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS, INJURY OR DEATH.

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. WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A BUSY STREET I HEARD A LOUD 'SNAP' AND LOST ALL CONTROL OF MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CALIBER. WHILE HAVING THE FRONT WHEEL ALIGNED AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT CROSS MEMBERS WERE SEVERELY RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

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.
