Battery Problems of Dodge Caliber

Went shoping came out from shopping my car left me stranded had it towed to the dealer I bought it from after being straned for over 3 hours they had to sent it to a Dodge dealer they said the issue was from a static lock which cased my module to have to be rest but then they told me if it happens again I just need to unplug the positive cable to the battery and it should work which it does but they said they had to reset my key to it so I was charged for them to do nothing and the car is still not fixed it happened again on January 7 2011 and so I called the dealer I bought if from and they told me to bring in and they would look at some componets and install a ground wire well I did that but then the they told me the car couldn't be working so in other words they were not going to do anything to fix this problem I bought it from jerrery kia I need a reliable car to drive and I don't have one and I too will never buy a Dodge again.

Positive battery post on original manufacturer battery came loose from body and released battery acid into engine compartment. Battery acid ate through protective coating on wires to main electrical and caused car to stall and malfunction.

While the vehicle was under warranty, the rear wiper and the radio stopped functioning normally. The wiper did not work at all, and the radio was losing the sound when the engine was running but was normal when on acc. Dealer re flashed the tipm and said if it ever happened again, I should disconnect the battery and hold the leads together for about five minutes and it should function normally again. A few months later, the rear wiper stopped and the radio began to fade out once again. I disconnected the battery as instructed but to no avail. Both dealers I took my vehicle to have gone out of business. The nearest dealer is over 200 miles away. I have lived with this problem now for two years. Now, mysteriously, the rear wiper has begun to function once again all by its self. The radio?. . . . . Not at all. I have been told that the tipm is probably at fault. I suggested that to the mechanic while my vehicle was still under warranty but I was assured that there was nothing wrong with the tipm so Dodge would not replace the unit. This is the second time a Dodge component of mine had failed while under warranty and Dodge would not replace the unit. Dodge would wait until after my vehicle(s) were out of warranty and at that point I was told the unit(s) needed replacement. Is this some kind of scam that automobile dealers run? I feel that Dodge should replace my tipm at no cost to me since I specifically noted this issue while the vehicle was still under warranty.
