On Nov. 22, 2016 I was driving to work at 6:00 am. My Caliber started making a hissing noise, after about 2 minutes of this the engine shut off and I lost all electric power. The car was towed to the shop and the starter was replaced. 2 weeks later the same thing happened. This time nothing was replaced, due to the car starting at the garage. Again on Dec. 20 the same thing with the exception of I was on my way home. The started was again replaced. This reoccurred on Jan 9, 2017. The started was replaced again. It happened again on Jan. 20, again the starter has been replaced. According to the mechanic, they cannot find anything else wrong. This is a serious safety issue. Luckily I haven't been driving at a high rate of speed, but if this would occur at 65 or 70 mph it could cause serious problems. After doing some research on-line, I have found several other complaints about this problem.

While driving on highway and street the oil light will flash and make a ding then engine shuts down with out any reason or warning. You can start the car again but is very unsafe. There are no other lights on like engine light of any other warning light.

The car has just shut down 3 different times now (while driving) and has left us stranded in the arizona desert each time. We will be driving and suddenly no matter how hard I press the gas pedal the car comes to a stop and will not turn back on until about 10 minutes later. I took it to brakes plus after it happened the first time and they said nothing was wrong. It then happened again a few months ago, and now again today. I am scared to put my family in the family car. Something has to be done about this. I'm going to call Dodge and get to the bottom of this. I came on here to see if anyone has had the same issue. Apparently they do. I will never buy a Dodge again unless they come up with an answer to this.

I bought this car on 4/11/2011, and this car shut off while driving the first time at 402 miles , it has happened another four times. The car dies like the key was shut off no warning of any kind. I took it to the dealer 06/22/2011 and as usual they could find no problem with it. I do know that Dodge had this problem with the 2010 caravan, (falty win module) so I would think that someone would be able to figure out that this is the same problem. This situation must be taken care of before someone get's killed because their car died while in traffic.
