general problems of the 2007 Dodge Caliber

The air bag light and sound are going off without any collision or accident type. Just randomly started going off. Airbags have never been deployed and goes off with or without weight on the seats.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Caliber. The contact stated that while it was raining, there was water entering through the sunroof and doors into the vehicle. The air bag warning light was illuminated. The contact called the local dealer, who stated that there were no related recalls for the failures. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that there was no recall coverage for the failures and the contact was referred to the NHTSA hotline to report the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

My son drove my car one night and he said he didn't like the steering because it act like ilose and tires about to fall off I told him I know cause it was eating up the out side of tires fast to wear wires were seen on both sides of the front tires and later eveny son had a wreck and total out car on the seen where the wreck happen it didn't make sense to me and my son didn't have his seat beat on and it threw h out and I believe iif he did it would of killed him he don't remember nothing cause I think it put him in shock I have not received the police report but I have taking pictures and I do know there was a alot rust underneath I only had the car for two month the car is at a salvage place and I can't get it and I am going to have to pay for it I just think something was not right on the steering and supention it was on hwy on a straight away.

This problem occurs when the vehicle is stationary and in motion. The vehicle will start to freak out by losing all of its gauges and controls, also the air bag, electrical, abs and check engine will come on. There was no warning signs when this initially occurred. I took it to a dealer and they claimed the it was the tipm (total integrated power module) and its super common with Dodge products. I was informed that there is a recall on other Dodge products for this very issue but not the Caliber. I do not understand this nor how if this is a problem on other models from the same year it can be covered under warranty but not for this car.

The contact owned a 2007 Dodge Caliber. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact's vehicle was involved in a head-on collision, which was no fault of the contact. The contact's vehicle was damaged to the front of the vehicle and on the passenger's front side of the vehicle. The contact stated that the other driver's vehicle crashed into the contact's vehicle at a high rate of speed. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was towed to a local tow yard. The paramedics and the local police arrived at the scene. A police report was filed, however the report number was unavailable. The vehicle was deemed total loss. The contact was the only occupant in the vehicle. The contact was transported to the local medical center, however due to the severity of the injuries and the specific treatments that the contact required, the contact was transferred to a medical center that specialized in the contact's required treatments. The contact sustained injuries included but not limited to traumatic brain injury, seizures, impaired speech, physical and mental disabilities, intermittent paralysis, damage to the spinal cord and amnesia. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

My airbag did not go off on my car want to know why the hit was bad an nothing went off there been no recalls so now I think something should be done I am lucky I am not hurt I hydrated planed on the water and hit a poll the police officers couldn't believe it didn't go off what can I do and hope no one else get hurt.

My husband was driving and I was the passenger. 12/23/15. The car was a 2007 Dodge Caliber. Approx 80,000 miles on it. No prior accidents. A car turned into driver side. My husband was not hurt. Both cars going approx 10 miles an hour. I was hit with air bag. I received a broken rib, new bridge completely knocked out(or should I say in. ). My back, neck, ankle still give me a lot of pain today. My body bruised head to toe. Concussion.

Horn and airbag both failed making the vehicle unsafe. Dodge refuses to fix the problem.

Vehicle was involved in frontal collision with run off tire from a trailer being pulled by a pickup truck. Frontal driver side received damage to electrical wiring harness which shut down onboard computer system. Upon impact the vehicle seized operation and shut down air bag deployment. Steering control was lost due to half shaft joint was sheered apart.

The car would not start (lights worked, but engine would not turn over). After replacing the throttle cable and box, as well as some broken wiring, the car still would not start. The mechanic then towed the vehicle to a Dodge dealership, where the computer was reset. The car ran for another week after it was first "fixed," and then again did not start (same problem as before). Additionally, the light to indicate that the air bags were not functioning turned on prior to the vehicle not starting. This is more frustrating because we have had extensive issues with this car (replaced all tie rods, bushings, control arms, have a broken door from the hinge breaking, and had multiple tires wearing unevenly due to the car's suspension problems) already, and have sunk well over $6000 in repairs this year alone.

My wife was in an accident today in her 2007 Dodge Caliber sxt. She was travleling about 35mph and another vehicle slid across the road in front of her and she hit the side of that truck with the front of her car. It done a significant amount of damage. It busted the front clip off the car and you could see the metal bumper behind the front clip which was severly bent toward the engine and did bust the radiator but no air bag deployment happened. She did rceive some brusing on her neck and shoulder from the seatbelt.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Caliber. While driving 65 mph in the right hand lane, the contact slammed on the brakes to avoid an animal in the road. All four wheels locked and the vehicle began to skid to the right. She attempted to turn the wheel to the left to avoid striking the embankment, but the vehicle continued to skid. She attempted to turn the wheel again, which caused the vehicle to roll over once before finally coming to a stop. There were no injuries and none of the air bags deployed. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed and could possibly be destroyed. The current and failure mileages were 68,000.
