Every time when I would be going over any kind of bump,driveways at speed bumps or just driving the car. I would always here shaking or rumbling noises in my front suspension. Recently I had to get a clutch installed in my Caliber. And my mechanic informing me that my control arms were coming loose. Which means that if it persists the wheels can come off so that's the sound I am hearing the wheels shaking when it goes over bumps!. And then he followed by saying with Dodge Calibers control arms always seems to go bad early in the life of the car no matter how you drive. I only have about 91,000 miles on my car which are about 90% highway miles. I used to drive for ups drove trucks for living when he comes to changing gears and driving the car I am extremely capable. So for a clutch to go back in just seven years is absolutely ridiculous. My parents had a 1987 Volvo station wagon with manual transmission. And we never had transmission problems!!! hey Dodge this is how a car is supposed to work!! you buy it works till you sell it. With a few maintenance fixes down the line. (not control arms transmission and electrical and gas pedals. ) so for control arms going bad at this time is absolutely ridiculous. I went on other forums of people who has the same car as mine in about 600 people or thousand people were saying exactly the same thing but they had to spend a lot of money to get these things fixed. I understand that things go bad cars over time but this is extremely too early. I have went to 3 to 4 other mechanics and all say the same thing about the Dodge Calibers. Control arms are a major important thing is safety of a car extremely basic an extremely simple to understand that conforms do not go back and just seven years. Note my control arms aren't as bad as some others.

We parked our 2008 Dodge caliper for three days and when we drove next the head light switch would not activate the head lights at all, the auxiliary driving lights would not work, the wind shied wipers will not work (front or back) the wind shield washer will not work. The head lights do come on automatic when you start the vehicle and then they stay on until you turn the ignition switch off. The hazard lights will come on and flash but that is the only thing that is connected to the driver’s column that will work. This is a safety problem because of the lack of lighting capability, the wind shield washers not working. I have goggled this problem and the same problem has happened on the Dodge avenger and there are several entries of the problem happening on the Dodge caliper.
