2011 DODGE CALIBER Complaints

I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME TWICE NOW. THE FIRST TIME BACK ON 9-4-13 AND AGAIN NOW 11-18-13. FOR SOME REASON WHILE DRIVING IT I WILL LOOSE ACCELERATION IT WON'T GO MORE THAN 5 MILES WHEN APPLYING THE GAS. THE FIRST TIME I WAS A LIGHT GETTING READY TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. AFTER MY TURN I NOTICE THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FASTER THEN 5 MILES, EVEN WITH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. AND AGAIN THE OTHER DAY, I GOT IN IT AND BACKED UP, PUT IN DRIVE AND THE SAME THING. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE CAR. NOW DEALERSHIP IS SAYING AGAIN THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. PLUS I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER AND NOT GETTING MUCH FROM THEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY OWN CAR, I HAVE A CHILD. THIS IS A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

HAD BEEN TO DEALER COMPLAINING OF SAME TYPE NOISES THEY ALWAYS SAID NO PROBLEM FOUND. 300 DOLLAR TOW TO NEAREST DEALER. SITTING THERE NOW. WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM IN THE MORNING. *TR

IT WOULD NOT EVEN MAKE NO NOISE TRYING TO START IT. WAS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND DRIVER WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED. THEN ON 8/12/2012 WAS AT GAS STATION AFTER GETTING GAS AND IT WOULD NOT START MADENO NOISE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START IT, FINALLY STARTED AFTER REMOVING AND REINSERTING THE POWER PLUG LOCATED UNDER STEALING COLUMN. TAKING INTO DEALERSHIP IN MORNING HOPING THEY FIGURE IT OUT. *TR

SQUEALING BRAKES FROM REAR BRAKES STARTED AFTER 9,000 MILES. DROVE IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED IT WAS NOT A MAJOR ISSUE AND WAS COMMON. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR AND TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND THE ISSUE WAS LOUD SQUEALING WHEN STOPPING. THEY INSPECTED THE BRAKES AND COULD NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND HAD NO FIX FOR IT. MY CAR NOW HAS 11,800 MILES AND THE ISSUE STILL HAS NOT CHANGED. PEOPLE CAN HEAR THIS FROM SEVERAL FEET AWAY SINCE IT IS NOT A QUIET SOUND. IT IS GETTING TO A POINT THAT IF THEY CANNOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE, I WILL GET RID OF THE CAR. *TR
