Tire Pressure Monitoring System problems of the 2007 Dodge Caliber

I have a 2007 Dodge Caliber with 42,000 miles that I was told was a death trap!! several times I had to exit highways because I felt I was going to lose control of my car. I thought I was in need of tires. Not only was I in need of tires but the ball joints were completely worn. I was told by my mechanic in no way should this happen with a car with only 42,000. He also informed me he has seen many Calibers wth the same issue. The cost to replace the ball joints/arms and tires was $1,000. Dodge needs to do something about this problem before someone is killed. . . . Issue a recall and refund to those who have had this problem!.
