general problems of the 2007 Dodge Caliber - part 2

I have had constant problems with this car. My key abruptly stopped working last year and I have to pay $500 because the dealership said the computer could no longer recognized my key so I had to get a new one. My gear shaft began to jam and I had to pay $200 to get a chip replaced because it was shot. Now my totally incorporated power module was shot today when I took it to get checked at the dealership today. The cost is estimated to be $1150. I am sick and tired of all the problems this car is presenting in my life.

Driving on the highway at 70 mph and car transmission temperature light came on and the power to the car declined to a coast and I had to try and pull to the shoulder in heavy traffic with snow on the road which almost caused me to get hit by other vehicles going the speed of 70 mph. This has happened numerous times I have taken it in to the dealer whom recommended that I have the transmission service done by the dealer which I paid for and complied to have performed. It continued to happen and still looses power going highway speed of 65. I have taken it to the dealer over and over and they deny any liability and say everything is ok. I have the lifetime powertrain warranty on the vehicle. I am going to end up dead thanks to a faulty transmission in the car. It has never towed anything so no stress is ever applied to the transmission. Now I am pissed because my wife was almost hit when she was driving it on the highway during rush hour and it reduced power on her. I have paperwork showing the dealer checking it and saying it is ok not to mention the numerous times I have gone in and they say they have heard nothing regarding problems with the Caliber. If you look on line there are plenty of us citizens that are plaqued with this same problem.

At approx 6pm on 11/11 while attempting to enter the interstate my vehicle began to jerk violently. The check engine light began to blink and the vehicle would not exceed 35 mph. I took the vehicle to a local autozone to have it diagnost. Multiple misfires on all cylinders. I had the spark plugs replaced that weekend because my dealers repair shop was full. Problem still occurred so I left the car at the dealer for them to check the engine. The camshaft sensor needs to be replaced. This is not covered under the 50,000 miles engine and power train warranty because it is not a moving part. I just had to replace both ball joints and upper and lower control arms on the car in June. It is currently at 42,600 miles. The alignment is off again so I'm suspecting the ball joints are going bad again.

Was driving 35-40 mph when etc light came on and car was jolting forward and losing power back and forth. Belletire wouldn't touch it cuz they said it seemed to them like a recall issue. He said that either the ecu needed reset or the drive by wire system was malfunctioning . This is also after my control arms were bad at 48000 mile. Both of these problems I have had have thousands of complaints online for them and are notorious for these problems.

On approx. Oct. 13, 2011, my 2007 Dodge Caliber stalled and quit running on fwy, and I immediately took to local mechanic. It was determined at that time that a throttle body assembly was needed to prevent this from happening. It worked fine until Dec. 23, 2011 when I was out in the desert making a trip to flagstaff, az. When my car once again died and stalled on hwy i40. I was in front of a semi truck at a speed about 70 mph and it started stalling and then died right in front of the semi. Luckily there was an exit that I veered the car into and coasted into a stop. It was towed to a local gas station where there they could not determine the cause. I was told since the car had cooled over 30 min. It was "ok to drive" about 20 miles to dealership in bullhead city, az. I took it to swantys Chrysler where it was left there over christmas holidays. I returned to be informed that they could not determine problem and the throttle body was in working order and that was not the problem. I was informed I could drive it home, and when this occurs, "to pull over and let cool for 30 min. And resume driving". I was in fear of my life and others taking the 350 mile trip home, not driving over 60 mph. I then filed a complain with Chrysler corp. Where I spoken to numerous customer service, and supervisors. They wanted to me get a second opinion from a CA dealer, because they questioned why I "took it to az. " to be diagnosed. I explained several times that I didn't take it there, it failed there. I can give names and dates from Dec. 28th until now of reps. I have spoken to. When I took it to moss brothers in riverside, they also determined that they could not pinpoint the problem, but suggested a couple of parts be replaced, and "it could help problem:" at the tune of $800. 00, but could not guarantee it would solve the issue.

My Dodge Caliber 2007 stuck in part. I take it to the dealer but they say I must pay for the repair because the gear box is not part of the transmission. The Dodge dealer told me that the chain in the gear box is broken, but I noticed on the internet there a alot of owner have the same problem . I just want to know what I can do to get them (the Dodge dealer) to look in this problem (car stuck in park).

It is about Dodge Caliber sxt 2007 sports I, the undersigned,give you this written information that I have leased the new latest model tempted by advertisement and in order to buy a safe vehicle. Before I went for my first oil change I already posted my feedback opinion online to the Dodge company. I complained about a metallic cracking sound that was coming from the engine which is a strange phenomenon in a new vehicle. When I approached the dealer for the first oil change, it took longer time to do the oil change service. Upon inquiring for the cause, the technician informed me that some vital parts of the powertrain has been recalled from Dodge and is being replaced so it will take a long time to do that. I left the vehicle with you on Friday 14, July, to find out what is this all about. If it is a powertrain recall issue or any parts related to motor vehicle safety standard issues - I feel that this model is not safe and dose not comply with the national traffic and motor vehicle safety act. More over neither Dodge company nor you notified me any potential manufacturing defects or errors until July 14, 2006.
