The vehicle shut down the air condition was still blowing but the acceleration lost power! I noticed the odometer was no longer displaying or working when I shut car off and turned back on! I was leaving my neighborhood residential area coming to a stop.
On Nov. 22, 2016 I was driving to work at 6:00 am. My Caliber started making a hissing noise, after about 2 minutes of this the engine shut off and I lost all electric power. The car was towed to the shop and the starter was replaced. 2 weeks later the same thing happened. This time nothing was replaced, due to the car starting at the garage. Again on Dec. 20 the same thing with the exception of I was on my way home. The started was again replaced. This reoccurred on Jan 9, 2017. The started was replaced again. It happened again on Jan. 20, again the starter has been replaced. According to the mechanic, they cannot find anything else wrong. This is a serious safety issue. Luckily I haven't been driving at a high rate of speed, but if this would occur at 65 or 70 mph it could cause serious problems. After doing some research on-line, I have found several other complaints about this problem.
While driving on highway and street the oil light will flash and make a ding then engine shuts down with out any reason or warning. You can start the car again but is very unsafe. There are no other lights on like engine light of any other warning light.
