2007 Dodge Caliber

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.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED WITH A 90 DAY FULL WARRANTY AND 2 YEAR POWER TRAIN. IN THE FIRST 90 DAYS I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO TOYOTA USED LOT WHO IN TURN TOOK IT TO DODGE TO INVESTIGATE THE LOOSE STEERING AND ALSO THE STALLING ISSUES. DODGE REPEATEDLY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG. TO DATE, A YEAR LATER, THEY WONT FIX THE FUEL PUMP WHICH I HAVE LEARNED IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THIS MODEL/YEAR AND CAUSES STALLING. I HAVE STALLED ON THE FREEWAY AND HAVE CHILDREN.... ITS VERY UPSETTING.

OUR CAR WAS PURCHASED USED TWO YEARS AGO AND ALWAYS HAD AN ISSUE WITH HESITATION WITH BOTH ACCELERATION AND IDLING AFTER COMPLETELY FILLING THE GAS TANK. LAST WEEK IT STARTED HAVING THE SAME HESITATION/SPUTTERING ISSUE BUT WITHOUT HAVING RECENTLY FILLED UP THE GAS TANK. IT SPUTTERS/HESITATES TO ACCELERATE WHILE GOING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 20-30 MPH (WE DID NOT TAKE IT ON THE FREEWAY OUT OF FEARING IT WOULD DIE GOING FASTER SO WE ARE UNSURE HOW IT DOES AT HIGHER SPEEDS). IT ALSO STARTED TO STALL WHILE IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT. IT STARTED UP AGAIN FINE BOTH TIMES IT DIED BUT CONTINUED TO HESITATE WHILE ACCELERATING. OUR RADIO HASN'T COME ON A FEW TIMES WHEN WE START THE CAR (THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY TEN TIMES SINCE WE'VE HAD THE CAR) AND THE FUSE IS FINE. WE POP THE FUSE OUT AND PUT IT BACK IN AND THE RADIO STARTS UP FINE AGAIN. WE ARE TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC ON SATURDAY TO HAVE THE SYSTEM "UPDATED" BECAUSE WE SAW THERE WAS A BULLETIN ABOUT OUR MODEL OF CAR NEEDING AN UPDATE, BUT I'M FAIRLY SURE THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE TIPM AFTER READING OTHER PEOPLE'S STORIES ONLINE.

WAS DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT AND MY CAR STARED LOSING POWER AT LOWER SPEEDS. AFTER GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE AND TURNING LEFT FROM A COMPLETE STOP MY CAR DIED. THIS STOP, GO, DIE CYCLE CONTINUED ALL THE WAY HOME NEXT MORNING GET READY TO GO TO WORK AND NOTHING. TURNED OUT THE FLUE PUMP AND WIRE HARNESS HAD MELTED AND BURNT UP. LUKY WE DIDN'T BURN UP TOO. WITH I COULD UPLOAD PICTURES HERE.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 DODGE CALIBER WITH MY TWO YOUNG KIDS IN THE BACK MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AFTER BUYING A E.T.C. AND HAVING IT REPLACED ABOUT 12 MONTHS LATER THE ETC WENT OUT AGAIN THIS TIME ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DOING 65 MPH MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE THE ETC HAD RUSTED CLOSED AGAIN. LIKING ONLINE SOME OF THESE CARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR AN ISSUE WITHTHE ETC. I'M AFRAID FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY THERE'S NO WARNING OTHER THAN A LIGHT AND MOMENTS LATER YOUR CAR IISNO LONGER ACCELERATING.

MY CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. STARTED IN DECEMBER 2014 CAR STALLED AN I TURNED IT BACK ON BASICALLY TURNING HEAT OFF. SINCE THEN IT RANDOMLY SPUTTERED. DRIVING A MONTH LATER IT SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING, I TURNED HEAT OFF AGAIN THINKING IT WAS THAT. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. A MONTH LATER ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AN CODE IS THE ONE FOR GAS CAP. I BOUGHT A NEW ONE, 2 WEEKS LATER WHILE PARKED WAITING FOR MY KIDS TO COME OUT OF SCHOOL MY CAR DIES ACTING LIKE IT WANTS TO START. LATER TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM IS THE FUEL PUMP! THE WIRES INSIDE FUEL PUMP AND THE HARNESS WERE BURNT UP ! IT'S REALLY WIRED AND FIXED. I DIDN'T GET A NEW FUEL PUMP JUST NEW WIRES. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LET ME KNOW THEIR SITUATION! I'M SCARED TO EVEN GET BACK IN THE CAR ESPECIALLY WITH TWO KIDS WHO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT
