MY HEADLIGHTS WAS NOT WORKING SO I BOUGHT A REPLACEMENT BULB. THE LOW BEAM WAS OUT THE HIGH BEAM WORKS. THE BULB REPLACEMENT DID NOT WORK. I TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND HE LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS MY FUSE BOX. THE ENTIRE THING NEEDED REPLACED. BEING IN THE BUSINESS HE SAID IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. THE COST TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE THING IS COSTLY SINCE THE IS BASICALLY THE COMPUTER OF THE CAR... THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX WITHOUT REPLACING THE ENTIRE FUSE BOX. THIS FUSE BOX CONTROLS A LOT OF THINGS THAT COULD BE SAFETY ISSUES AND LIGHTING TO ME IS VERY IMPORTANT. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A FUSE BOX. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE WAS NONE. I BEGAN LOOKING ONLINE AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS ASTOUNDING BUT I GUESS UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT CHRYSLER WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND PURGE SOLENOID AS THE CAR KEPT STALLING AFTER I'D PUT GAS IN THE CAR WHEN I'D LEAVE THE GAS STATION. VERY UNSAFE AS I'D BE AT A RED LIGHT RIGHT AFTER PUTTING IN GAS AND WOULD STALL. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING CONSISTENTLY THE CAR WOULD DRIVE FINE.

I HAVE A 2007 CALIBER WITH CLOSE TO 127K. IVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT NOT STAYING LATCHED. YOU CAN CLICK IT IN AND PULL ON IT... THEN RANDOMLY IT WILL UNLATCH ITSELF. HOW IS THERE NOT A RE CALL ON THIS ISSUE?

I AM CONTACTING YOU REFER TO DODGE SERVICE BULLETIN 23-012-14. THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED INSPECTION. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT COVERS THE REPAIR EXPIRED . I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO ASK FOR COST ASSISTANCE IN COVERING THIS EXISTING PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP AND CORPORATION DENIED MY CLAIM. CASE ID 33139538. I THINK IT'S REASONABLE FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN KEEPING THE CAR ROAD WORTHY. THE VEHICLE HAS 161K, THE LACK OF REPAIR WOULD MAKE THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE INEVITABLY ENDING THE USEFUL EXISTENCE OF IT.
