1 Electrical Jack problem of the 2007 Dodge Caliber

Failure Date: 03/27/2017

Had a loud grinding sound coming from rear of car thought it was the breaks, put the car on jack took tire off off and noticed that subframe of the car was completely rotted out. Now when I rotated the tires before winter I noticed typical surface rust now there is a big hole and completely unsafe. I went on line to look it up and noticed a lot of people commenting on an extended warranty. I called Dodge and was told to call corporate, corporate explained that as of August 2016 my extended warranty was expired. They told me to bring the car into Dodge call them back and they would see if they could get an exception. Since 3/27/17 I've been waiting for a call back, I called 3/30/17 to find that they denied my claim when I asked for a manager they stated it would be another day before anyone would call me. Now I call them back and I keep being put on hold being told they cannot transfer me. This is a good car with a lot of life left and now Dodge won't do anything for me when I've been a loyal customer. This is obviously a safety issue they know about and should grant some kind of good will assistance. Dealer ship wants over $1200 to do it. This is crazy. Any help I could get would be appreciated. I much like everyone else making the complaints cannot afford to do the work myself and can't afford to just go buy a new car.

2 Electrical Jack problem of the 2008 Dodge Caliber

Failure Date: 05/19/2013

It is raining in my vehicle. Rain is pouring in through the sunroof and entering my car through the dome light, passenger and driver side support pillars, and onto the passenger and driver side floor and seats through a faulty drainage system. There is already a service bulletin out for the 2007 model for this issue. I went to Dodge today and they will not fix my car per their service bulletin: 23-043-06 subject: water leak from headliner, because it is out for the 2007 model. They said the extended warranty I bought through Chrysler will not cover the parts or labor and they will not apply the service bulletin to my vehicle because I own a 2008 vehicle. The issue, not taken care of leads to electrical problems, as reported by other owners on various blogs that pertain to this same problem. This company has irresponsibly produced a 2008 model with the same problem as the 2007 model, however, they will not fix the problem. In addition, the particular dealership I went to at 9600 atlantic blvd, jacksonville, FL, wanted me to pay at $105 diagnostic fee in addition to the warranty deductible of $100 if the warranty was to cover the problem that Dodge created in their counterproductive manufacturing methods.
