I purchased this 2007 Dodge Caliber rt awd in Dec of 2012. The dealership grand Chrysler Dodge Jeep in lowell, michigan on main st, reported to me the consumer, before purchase, at my request, a vehicle history stating 1 owner vehicle with no accidents. Thank god I did get the warranty because less than 14 days fresh off the lot, the vehicle loss all power and barely driveable, the car, while I was driving it, on the highway around 55 to 60 mph, lost speed real quickly and and could barely drive it to get it off the road. The vehicle coded at service shop 02 censors and catillatic convertor, the vehicle was at the dealer service dept and back and forth from my home for more than a month, until finally the Caliber had to be seen by a service representative from Chrysler/Dodge and now pushing 2 months without the vehicle not only did the 02 sensors and catillatic convertor had to be replaced, but the computer too. Got the vehicle back drove it 3 months and the vehicle had grinding in the front end,electrical seat heating and blinkers systems were malfunctioning, each tim the engine light came on and the vehicle remained sluggish and unsafe to drive, but the dealership lacked concern and made me drive it in the unsafe condition from west olive michigan to lowell. Oct 2014 the vehicle almost caused me to get into a serious rear end accident. I was driving 60mph on the highway and it went from 60 mph to 10 mph just like that cars on the highway swirved to miss hitting me and I was almost rear ended. The car completely stalled. A gentleman stopped to help me push it off the road. . Vehicle and I sat for alomost an hour waiting for tow service. Service dept. Coded the vehicle with a crank shaft censor problem and a recall as well for the front end cross member rusts out and cause bad settling and excessive tire pressure from the errosion not supporting the sub frame.
I was driving and the car stalled out and a car almost hit me. I found out later that the throttle body messed up and shut may car down. . Dodge should really recall this.
After two recent gas fill ups, two separate times while driving at a very low speed and once more from a stop, the car stalled out. The second time that it stalled from a slow speed it stalled two or three times within a five minute timeframe. Car was purchased and built in 2006, the same time that other Dodge and Chrysler vehicles have been known to do this.
I was driving to work going up a hill when the car shook a little and started to decelerate. I noticed there was a blinking symbol on the dash of a lightning bolt between two lines. I was not able to accelerate fast enough to keep my speed going up the hill, and decelerated very quickly. Anytime I was at a stop light it took about 5 seconds before I was even able to move forward. During the 5 seconds, the car seemed like it was going to stall at the intersection. Once I reached work I looked up the light in the owners manual and found it to be an electronic control light. I tried turning off the car and turning it back on only to realize that nothing had changed. This could easily cause an accident and from what I understand there is no fix, only theories.

I purchased this car used from a dealership due to the fact that I have an hour drive to and from work and it appeared to have great gas mileage. Within my first two weeks of ownership the starter was stuck engaged as I drove and caught fire. This I replaced knowing with age, starters and alternators die. A month after servicing the starter, I was driving on the interstate at a speed of 67mph in heavy traffic when a lightening bolt (electronic throttle control sensor light) flashed and the car jerked as if it were to stall. I contacted my local Dodge dealer who informed me that it probably was the throttle body and that I might as well drive the car for a bit because the light was not staying lit. Every since then the light has flashed on atleast once a month with the car violently jerking as to stall. I started the car last week and the idle was miserable so figured the throttle body had gone. Took the car to the local dealership to read codes on the pc. Code was for the throttle body. The throttle body was replaced by a certified dealership mechanic. Within 30 miles and 30mins after leaving the garage the car was jerking to stall as before but the light was not on. Seem to be a serious problem considering stall on interstate at those speeds and hit by a semi would cause instant death. The value of my car is no longer high but you can guarantee the loan and payments are. I am a preschool teacher and make a very small income. Took car instantly back to dealership but I know they will find nothing, charge to much, and send me on my way with a death sentence. Seems as though Dodge/Chrysler has decided that as long as no deaths it is ok to carry on with this refusal to admit that they made a bad product. How about robbing! all I want is my car fixed but of course they will not admit anything. Suppose I will have to call the news, fax the ceo's, and die .
