Bought 2007 Dodge Caliber sxt with 9,000 miles on it and now has 13,000. Love the car but they can keep their cvt2 transmission. When accelerating the car starts to go then suddenly loses power to pull itself. Rpm's hit 5000+ yet not picking up speed. This has happened 4 times and have taken it to dealer where purchased and service department wasn't able to duplicate. The 4th time was on 8-17-2007 when I was making a left turn onto a 4 lane + center lane highway from a stop. The car started to go then suddenly in the middle of the first lane it lost power and would not pick up speed. Rpm's hit 5500+ and still not picking up speed. 45 mph traffic had to brake as I was trying to get out of their way. Mashed gas pedal to the floor and still nothing but the revving of the engine and my family screaming for me to go go go!!! I just bought the car in may 2007!!!! dealer wants to trade me out of it at my cost and loss of money and at a higher interest rate!!!!!! the car in now parked in my garage and will not be driven anytime soon. I am paying for a "coffin" on wheels as I am sure that is what it will turn into before Dodge finds and corrects the problem.
The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Caliber awd. The contact stated that the vehicle would overheat and failed to accelerate past 10 mph. The contact had to pull over and allow the vehicle to cool off. Afterwards, the vehicle operated at the proper speed. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of failure. A brand new transmission was installed in the vehicle on February 12, 2007, but the vehicle is still overheating. The VIN and engine size were unknown.
