Dodge Caliber owners have reported a total of 2,866 problems for their cars built in the 7 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Dodge Caliber. The 2007 Dodge Caliber cars have the most problems reported (1,381 problems).
| Model Year | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| 2012 Caliber | |
| 2011 Caliber | |
| 2010 Caliber | |
| 2009 Caliber | |
| 2008 Caliber | |

The following chart shows the 26 most common problems for Dodge Caliber cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's suspension (485 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's electrical system (338 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Dodge Caliber of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Caliber model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Dodge Caliber model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
Another way to measure the reliability across the model years of the Dodge Caliber is to use the total number of problems reported during the vehicle's first year in service, as shown in the Table 4.
