2007 DODGE CALIBER Complaints

BOUGHT CAR USED IN 2014. WITHIN A WEEK THE MANIVERTER NEEDED REPLACED. DASH LIGHTS RECENTLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. CANNOT SEE SPEEDOMETER OR OTHER GAUGES AT NIGHT. TRANSMISSION STOPS WORKING WHEN IT IS HOT OUT , TRANS TEMP LIGHT COMES ON AND TRANS SHUTS DOWN WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. CAR STALLS SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILLING WITH GAS CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHEN DRIVING ESPECIALLY PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. CONTROL ARMS AND BALL JOINTS ON FRONT OF CAR REPLACED WITH PARTS FROM DODGE DEALER AND ARE BAD FOR A SECOND TIME . WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CALIBER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL FAILED. THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR BLINKING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000.

CROSSMEMBER DETACHED FROM VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING DUE TO FRONT DRIVERS WHEEL AND AXLE BECOMING DETACHED. TOOK OUT CONTROL ARM,CV JOINTS , TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES. IT LEFT SKID MARKS IN PAVEMENT WHERE THE TIRE DUG IN. ACTUALLY RIPPED THE TREAD ON NEW TIRE. COME TO FIND OUT THIS IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH DODGE. HOWEVER IF YOUR NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE YOU MAY NOT BE NOTIFIED BECAUSE IT IS NOT A RECALL.

YESTERDAY I HAD MY CAR CHECKED FOR A LEAK. THIS WAS FIXED AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED THROUGH. THEY HAD ME LOOK AT THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I SAW. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF THIS CAR, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT WITH SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE CHECKS TAKEN. THIS IS ALSO VERY FRUSTRATING TO ME AS I JUST HAD MY CAR FIXED (NEW MANIFOLD ALONG WITH VALVES, GASKETS, O-RINGS, OIL CHANGE, RADIATOR CAP AND RADIATOR FLUSHED AND RE-FILLED) BY A DODGE MECHANIC AND WAS NOT INFORMED ABOUT THIS. THE CAR WAS SEEN AT DODGE IN FEBRUARY (RE-CHECKED IN MARCH AND APRIL) THEN TAKEN TO ANOTHER MECHANIC IN JUNE. THANKFULLY I TOOK THE CAR SOMEWHERE ELSE OR I MIGHT HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT, MALFUNCTION OR OTHER ISSUE. HOW DO I GET THIS ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF...IT SHOULD NOT HAVE RUSTED OUT LIKE IT DID. NOT WITH THE KIND OF CARE I GIVE TO MY CARS.

MY 2007 CALIBER IS PARKED I WILL NOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE THE FRAME IS RUSTED OUT SO BAD IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME AND MY KIDS. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME TO NOT DRIVE. THIS CAR IS NOT EVEN 10 YEARS OLD IT DEFINITELY SHOULD NOT BE RUSTED LIKE THAT! VERY DISAPPOINTING.
