TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CALIBER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH, A POP SOUND WAS HEARD AND THERE WAS SMOKE FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS CLOSING FOR THE DAY. THE TECHNICIAN CRAWLED UNDER THE VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY AND STATED THAT THE SUB-FRAME ROTTED OUT AND CAUSED THE FRAME TO COLLAPSE. THE CONTACT CALLED AN UNKNOWN DODGE DEALER LOCATED AT 7400 S. WESTERN AVE, CHICAGO, IL, AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR FACILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 119,000.

SUBFRAME IS OR HAS ROTTED OUT. THE CAR IS A 2011 NEW FROM DEALERSHIP BUT , WAS PURCHASED MAY OF 2012. CAR WAS IN MOTION AT 20 MPH ON A CITY STREET. NO ONE WAS HURT, LUCKILY. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS UNDER WARRANTY, WOULD PART BE REPLACED AND IF OTHER COMPONENTS ARE EFFECTED BY THE FRAME COLLAPSING, WOULD THOSE PARTS BE REPLACED AND REPAIRED AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CAR MANUFACTURE?*DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CALIBER. THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT UNBUCKLED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER NOR A DEALER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

STARTING JANUARY 2019, I HAD SPENT $5K OF UNDERBODY REPLACEMENT: BENT/RUSTY AXLE-F, 2 F-TIRES; FRONT BRAKES & SHOCKS, REAR ROTORS, BRAKES & SHOCKS, FRONT & REAR ARMS. THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL WAS LOCKED & I WAS DRIVING THAT WAY WITH BOTH OF MY YOUNG GRANDCHILDREN 3 MONTHS AFTER I HAD TIRES REPLACED. I KEPT BEING TOLD BY A FRIEND & MY SON, 'HAVE YOU HAD YOUR CAR FIXED YET?' THE SUSPENSION SUCKED; I FELT EVERY BUMP & POTHOLE! THE NOISE IN THE FRONT TO RIGHT TOOK OVER A YEAR TO FIX.

THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER MUST BE REPLACED. THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN SUCH CRASH EVENTS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH.

TRANSMISSION CONSTANTLY OVER HEATS DISPITE HAVING THE FLUIDS FLUSHED AND CHANGED. THE INSIDE LIGHT FLASH LIKE THEY ARE GOING OUT AND THE TRANSMISSION WHINES AND WHINES AT 60 TO 70 MPH. I'VE HAD THIS CAR SINCE 2013 AND HAVE HAD 3 RECALLS. THESE VEHICLES SEEM TO BE EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND I'M NOT SURE WHY THEY'RE STILL ON THE STREETS. ALL OF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE.

OPEN RECALL THAT MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET FOUND A FIX FOR.THE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES.

MY SON WAS AT A STOP SIGN ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. HE ACCELERATED TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN, HEARD A LOUD POP, THE CAR JOLTED AND PULLED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE, THE SUSPENSION BROKE. TOOK TO A GARAGE AND WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE FRAME WAS PITTED AND RUSTED THROUGH. WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH OUR MAKE AND MODEL CAR. HE TOLD US THAT MY SONS WERE VERY LUCKY THAT THEY WERE NOT ON A HIGHWAY OR TRAVELING ANY FASTER, AS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT!!!
