2012 Dodge Caliber been having problems with the throttle control, car will not drive, it jerks it you try to change gears. This has been a problem for these cars for years, and it seems the company will not look into it, not only 2012 models but later models too.

Electronic Stability Control problem #3

My oils and fluid levels were fine. I have about 74,000 on my vehicle, and just had a recent oil change about 300 miles or so ago. While driving around 35 mph on a local street, my vehicle''s check engine light and abs light came on. The steering went out and I immediately lost the ability to steer or maintain speed. I coasted my vehicle into a wendy's. I immediately restarted my car, and made it into the parking lot before losing the ability to steer and manage my speed, again. I managed to get it the 2 miles or so home. I got it towed, and I am waiting to hear from the dealership.
