2007 DODGE CALIBER Complaints

TAKATA RECALL, THE HEADLIGHT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. ONE HEADLIGHT WORKS AND WHEN SWITCHING TO HIGH BEAM THE OPPOSITE SIDE OR THE HEADLIGHT DOES NOT WORK. IT MAYBE, BECAUSE OF THE FUEL BOX GETTING WATER IN IT. BUT WHEN ON HIGHWAY IN MOTION THE STATE PATROL FEELS ITS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR BEING IN THIS CONDITION

MY MOTHER TOOK HER CAR TO HER LOCAL AUTO MECHANIC IN TOWN BECAUSE THE MUFFLER WAS RATTLING. THE MECHANIC TOLD HER THE CAR WAS UNSAFE AND NOT DRIVABLE BECAUSE THE FRAME IS TOTALLY ROTTED. THE CAR FRAME HAS SANK AND NOW IS HITTING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THAT WHAT WAS CAUSING THE RATTLE. THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO POKE A SCREW DRIVER THRU THE FRAME TUBE. MOM HAS BEEN TOLD BY HER MECHANIC AND A ANOTHER CAR DEALER THAT THE CAR WAS WORTH LESS AND NOT DRIVABLE. VERY FRUSTRATED I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE TO TRY AND UNDERSTAND HOW A 2007 CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND WORTHLESS. DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED TO BRING THE CAR TO A DODGE DEALER AND THAT THEY WANTED TO GET HER BACK ON THE ROAD RIGHT AWAY. WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE RAMSEY DODGE DEALER, SAME PLACE WHERE SHE PURCHASED THE CAR. THE DEALER TOLD US THAT DODGE HAS A CAMPAIGN ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM, OF ROTTED FRAME TUBES AND THAT HER EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS STILL GOOD FOR THREE ADDITIONAL MONTHS. WE HAVE BEEN DENIED A RENTAL CAR UNTIL WE AGREE TO PAY FOR ADDITIONAL RUSTED/ROTTED PARTS AND LABOR TO MAKE THE NECESSARY ROTTED FRAME REPAIRS. THE ESTIMATE IS FOR $1,191.00 IN PARTS AND $910.00 IN LABOR PLUS TAX OF $210.00. THIS IS THE SAME LABOR THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE PERFORMED WITH THE ROTTED FRAME TUBE REPAIR. THE ADDITIONAL PARTS THAT THEY SAY ARE REQUIRED IS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALSO TO RUSTED/ROTTED TO BE REUSED. THIS IS UNCONSCIONABLE. DODGE AND THE DODGE DEALER ARE TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY MOTHER. SHE NEEDS THIS CAR. ROBERT IS THE DEALER SERVICE WRITER AND THE CASE # IS 30051333. HER CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SINCE 9/2/2016. I WILL ATTACH A PHOTO OF THE ESTIMATE. THESE VEHICLES ARE UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

THEN IT STARTED WINNING , IT LOST SPEED EVEN THOUGH I PRESSED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR . THE RPMS WENT SKY HIGH TO ALMOST 6, BUT I WAS MOVING SLOW . SOMETIMES MY BACK WIDOWS DON'T GO UP OR DOWN . PASSENGER HEAD LIGHT DON'T WORK .. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING . THEN I DRIVE IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY CHECK IT NEXT DAY AND THEY SAY ITS FINE.

THE RADIO, PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT AND VARIOUS OTHER PROBLEMS WHICH A MECHANIC HAS TOLD ME ARE CONTROLLED BY THE TPIM ARE NOT WORKING ! THE HEADLIGHT SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE! ACCORDING TO EVERYTHING I'M READING, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR MULTIPLE YEARS AND MODELS OF DAIMLER/ CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. I HAVE TRIED TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT TWICE AND IT'S NOT BROKEN. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY ! IT'S THE POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN OF THE TPIM HOUSING! THE HOUSING HAS MULTIPLE VENT HOLES IN IT AND IT IS LOCATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT THAT IS OFTEN EXPOSED TO MOISTURE! PLEASE HELP, I DO NO HAVE $1000.00 TO PAY CHRYSLER FOR THEIR POOR ENGINEERING OF THE CAR! THANKS

I'M WRITING THIS COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2007 DODGE CALIBER. AFTER NINE YEARS AND ONLY 79K MILES OF WORKING VERY WELL FOR ME, I SUDDENLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON MY WAY TO WORK. AT A STOP LIGHT IN THE LEFT TURNING LANE OFF OF A HIGHWAY, ABOUT ONE MINUTE FROM MY JOB, THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR BUT MY CAR DIDN'T MOVE FORWARD. THE ENGINE WAS ON AND I COULD HEAR REVVING SOUNDS FROM THE ENGINE BUT MY CAR JUST DIDN'T MOVE. I WAS STUCK. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED TO SEVERAL MECHANICS, ONE WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO CHECK THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME I HAD A TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKUP. OF COURSE, THEY COULDN'T FIX IT AND REFERRED ME TO ANOTHER SHOP. THAT SHOP COULDN'T FIX IT EITHER AND MY ONLY CHOICE WAS TO GO TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP! NATURALLY, THEIR PRICE TO FIX IT WAS HUGE AT A WHOPPING $4,500! I WAS FURIOUS WITH THE COST AND THE FACT THAT MY CAR ISN'T EVEN TEN YEARS OLD AND I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION! HOW CAN I PAY ALMOST FIVE GRAND TO FIX IT WHEN MY CAR IS BARELY WORTH THREE? PLEASE BE CAREFUL BUYING A DODGE CALIBER. IT MIGHT WORK WELL FOR AWHILE BUT YOU CAN BET AT SOME POINT IN THE NEAR FUTURE IT WILL FALL APART ON YOU!

FOUR FOUR MONTHS NOW MY CAR HAS INTERMITTENTLY EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL FAILURES INCLUDING STUTTERING, DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF, WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMING ON THEIR OWN AND TOTAL SHUTDOWN ALL WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION AT VARYING SPEEDS. I HAVE HAD MY ALTERNATOR REPLACED TWICE, MY BATTERY REPLACED AND MY SPARK PLUGS CHANGED OUT. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND AM FAIRLY CERTAIN IT IS MY TIPM WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR THAT DODGE HAS DECIDED ISN'T WORTH THEIR TIME TO FIX. I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO THE RANDOM FAILURE OF MY TIPM AND THUSLY FIND IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE ANYMORE.
