2010 DODGE CALIBER Complaints

HORN ISNT WORKING AT ALL. CHECKED HORN TO SEE IF IT WAS BROKEN , REMOVED AND TESTED ON ANOTHER TRUCK, THEY WORKED. CHECKED FUSES AND THERE IS NO POWER TO ETHER FUSE. THERE IS NO HORN RELAY. IT IS PART OF THE TIPM. THE RELAY IS ON THE TIPM UNIT. VEHICLE WAS PARKED. WHEN I FOUND OUT THE HORN FAILED.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS GOING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHILE I AM DRIVING. IF I AM ON A HIGHWAY FOR A DISTANCE THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF UNTIL I BRAKE OR HIT A SMALL BUMP THEN IT WILL DING AND COME ON AGAIN. WHEN DRIVING ON CITY STREETS IT WILL GO OFF AND ON QUITE A BIT.

OK SO LET ME START BY SAVING LIVES THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH ALL THESE CALIBER THE SUBFRAMES ARE ROTTING IN HALF I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE 3 OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS STUPID CAR AND THEY RUSTED IN HALF ON THEM ALSO THINGS TO ADD TO THIS CAR IS THERE IS NO UPPER BALL JOINT WHICH CAUSE THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS TO GO BAD IS THE SHOCKS ARE BAD I HAD TO REPLACE PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING AND ALSO HAD TO REPLACE CVT 20K MILES INTO THIS HUNK OF CRAP CVT IS BAD AND THE BANDS THEY USE ARE CHEAP BUT ALSO SEEMS TO BE A COOLING PROBLEM WITH THERE SET UP FOR TRANSMISSION WITH CAUSE THEM TO HEAT UP AND BURN FLUIDS CHRYSLER SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS CRAP AND HONESTLY YOU WILL SEE ALOT MORE OF THESE CARS CAUSING PEOPLE TO DIE SERIOUSLY TAKE A LOOK ONLINE AND SEE FOR YOURSELVES IT'S PRETTY SICKING TO ME AND I FEEL LIKE Y'ALL AIN'T DOING YOUR JOB MY 30 YEAR OLD CAMARO SUBFRAME NEVER ROTTED LIKE THIS AND SAT AND DRIVEN IN ALL WEATHER

THE CROSSMEMBER OR ENGINE CRADLE RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING A LOT OF CREAKING NOISES WHILE BEING DRIVEN. UPON DIAGNOSIS IT WAS RECOMMENDED TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.

THE FRONT AND REAR SUBFRAME ARE ROTTED/RUSTED TO THE POINT IT IS READY TO COLLAPSE IN HALF AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THERE WAS A WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THE VEHICLE THAT EXPIRED IN DEC. 2019 AND ORIGINALLY WAS EXTENDED BY 5 YEARS IN 2017. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS IS ADEQUATE DUE TO THE POTENTIAL HAZARD THIS WOULD POSE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH. BIG SAFETY CONCERN AND THEY DON'T PLAN ON HELPING IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM DUE TO BEING 6 MONTHS PAST THEIR 'EXTENDED' WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED SINCE THIS SUBFRAME ISSUE IS KNOWN FROM 3-4 DIFFERENT DODGE/CHRYSLER/JEEP MODELS AND NOT ADEQUATELY COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER. SHOULD BE A RECALL, NO RUST ON THE VEHICLE BESIDES THE ROTTED FRAME. KNOWN ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES AND NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED/COVERED WHEN SUCH A SAFETY CONCERN. MORE PICTURES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST

2010 DODGE CALIBER WITH HEADLIGHT FAILURES CAUSED BY FAULTY FUSE BOX (TIPM). I REPLACE BULBS AND ONE HEADLIGHT WILL NOT LIGHT LOW BEAM OR HIGH BEAM. ALL THE FUSES ARE GOOD. IT HAS ALSO AFFECTED HOW THE CAR RUNS AND HAS STALLED ON THE ROAD. THIS IS THE 4TH OR FIFTH INCIDENT I HAVE HAD WITH THE CAR, HEADLIGHTS, STALLING, TURN SIGNALS, AIR BAG INDICATORS. THE HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT WORK MOVING OR SITTING STILL AND TURN SIGNALS.

I'VE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BUT THE DRIVER'S HEADREST STILL BROKE. WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CALIBER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THEIR SON WAS DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT, THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE'S SUBFRAME WAS REPAIRED, THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER WAS REPAIRED, AND THE VEHICLE RECEIVED AN ALIGNMENT. THE REPAIRS WERE RELATED TO MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION WITH NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10140027 (SUSPENSION, STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT DUE TO THE REPAIRS BEING COMPLETED OUTSIDE OF AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THERE WOULD BE NO REIMBURSEMENT. A CASE WAS OPENED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT TO YOU IN REGARDS TO A FAULTY AIRBAG THAT WAS INSTALLED AT YOUR YORKVILLE, NY CARBONE LOCATION. ON DECEMBER 28 ,2018 I WENT INTO THE YORKVILLE, NY LOCATION TO HAVE AN AIRBAG RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. THEN I HAD TO RETURN TO CARBONE IN YORKVILLE, NY ON DECEMBER 30 , 2019 BECAUSE MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. THEY CHARGED ME $107.66 TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME AN ADDITIONAL $438.50 FOR A FAULTY AIRBAG THAT THEY INSTALLED, STATING THIS WAS MY PROBLEM NOT THERE PROBLEM. HOW IS THIS MY PROBLEM WHEN IT WAS AN AIRBAG THEY FIXED AND NOW MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON DUE TO A FAULTY AIRBAG THEY REPAIRED THAT I HAD NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH BEFORE THE RECALL. I THEN HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO MAUGERI'S IN UTICA, NY FOR THEM TO FIX THIS FAULTY AIRBAG. PARTS WERE $150.00 AND LABOR WAS $82.50 WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $232.50. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED BY CARBONE THE TOTAL OF $232.50 TO FIX THE REPAIR AT MY MECHANICS AND THE DIAGNOSIS FEE AT CARBONE'S WHICH BRINGS IT TO THE TOTAL OF $340.16. AGAIN THIS WAS A FAULTY AIRBAG THAT CARBONE IN YORKVILLE , NY. THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO INSTALLING A FAULTY AIRBAG AND NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING IT FOR FREE. AGAIN I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED MY $340.16 FOR A FAULTY AIRBAG RECALL THAT I HAD TO FIX MYSELF.
