Two problems related to front suspension wheel bearing have been reported for the 2008 Dodge Caliber. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2008 Dodge Caliber based on all problems reported for the 2008 Caliber.
Had the vehicle in for replacement of a rear wheel bearing and the shop informed me that the subframe is nearly in need of replacement. The 2007 Dodge Caliber subframe coverage was extended to 10 years, but not for the 2008. Vehicle had approximately 135,000 miles at time of inspection.
There is a serious growling road noise coming from the wheel bearings. If you check "car forums and automotive chat" there is a fix under chat labeled "stwsti" date 10-19-2008. . . I feel this is a serious enough problem for Dodge to recall these vehicles or at least to notify owners of the problem of bearing failure at hiway speeds. . .
