1 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem of the 2007 Dodge Caliber

Failure Date: 12/06/2016

I have been experiencing difficulty in filling fuel into the gas tank. Fuel must be entered very slowly in the filler neck or the handle from the pump will "trip" and not allow any further flow of fuel. After doing some research and talking to others I thought this problem might be due to a clogged evap hose or its charcoal canister. I took it to an nationally known service station who diagnosed the problem to be not in the evap system but in a defective "rollover valve" which is internal to the fuel tank. It is essentially a "check valve" which prevents fuel from spilling back out of the tank in the event of a rollover accident. If this rollover valve is stuck "partially closed" during filling, then it could also be stuck "partially open" and allow fuel to dangerously spill backward through the filler neck in the event of a rollover accident. I took my vehicle to an authorized Dodge dealer to investigate the above. They checked into their database and found this defective part to have caused a recall on some other 2007 Dodge vehicles (avenger, dakota and I believe ram's) but the frequency was not justified for Dodge Calibers. It is my belief that my problem described is one and the same as those models listed above (and may very well be the same affected part) and that my defective "rollover valve" should be replaced at Dodge's expense. The repair involves replacement of the entire fuel tank.

2 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem of the 2007 Dodge Caliber

Failure Date: 07/16/2016

Bought car used in 2014. Within a week the maniverter needed replaced. Dash lights recently stopped working while driving at night. Cannot see speedometer or other gauges at night. Transmission stops working when it is hot out , trans temp light comes on and trans shuts down when driving on highways which has almost caused numerous accidents. Car stalls several times after filling with gas causing dangerous situations when driving especially pulling out into traffic after filling gas tank. Control arms and ball joints on front of car replaced with parts from Dodge dealer and are bad for a second time . We will never buy another Dodge vehicle.

Failure Date: 04/15/2016

The vehicle stalls at red lights / intersections after filling the gas tank. It does stop after some of the gas is used. It has not occurred when driving on a highway, only on city streets. In having the car examined, there is a faulty value on the gas tank, which appears to be a common problem. It in speaking with Chrysler, they are unwilling to assist.

4 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem of the 2007 Dodge Caliber

Failure Date: 03/05/2016

Upon completely filling the fuel tank, the engine repeatedly stalls after I've driven it for a few minutes. It doesn't matter if I'm on the freeway or in the middle of an intersection trying to make a turn, the engine just dies. This issue has the potential to create a very hazardous if not life threatening situation.

5 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem of the 2007 Dodge Caliber

Failure Date: 09/11/2015

Our car was purchased used two years ago and always had an issue with hesitation with both acceleration and idling after completely filling the gas tank. Last week it started having the same hesitation/sputtering issue but without having recently filled up the gas tank. It sputters/hesitates to accelerate while going anywhere between 20-30 mph (we did not take it on the freeway out of fearing it would die going faster so we are unsure how it does at higher speeds). It also started to stall while idling at a stop light. It started up again fine both times it died but continued to hesitate while accelerating. Our radio hasn't come on a few times when we start the car (this has happened approximately ten times since we've had the car) and the fuse is fine. We pop the fuse out and put it back in and the radio starts up fine again. We are taking it to a mechanic on Saturday to have the system "updated" because we saw there was a bulletin about our model of car needing an update, but I'm fairly sure this has to do with the tipm after reading other people's stories online.
