SUSPENSION, STEERING
MY VEHICLE WON'T STAY ALIGNED. AND NOW IT HAS A BAD JERK IN IT. YOU CAN BE GOING 10 MPH OR 50 MPH AND IT STILL JERKS YOU TO THE LEFT. YOU CAN FEEL IT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. WE HAVE PUT NEW TIRES ON IT SO MANY TIMES. WE HAVE BOUGHT TIERODS FOR IT AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE HELPING IT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I FIRST EXPERIENCED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL PROBLEM LAST MONTH WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AND LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE SAID HE WOULD LOOK AT IT.. WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK HE SAID HE CLEANED THE THROTTLE SENSOR AND SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES PAID $75. WELL A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS ON THE ENTIRE DAY THEN WENT OFF. NOW WHEN IT CAME BACK ON AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT CAME ON WITH IT. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 2 MILES AS I WAS DRIVING TOWARDS THE LIGHT I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURN BACK ON. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE AT THE LIGHT BEHIND ME WHEN I DID THAT. BUT I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SEEN THAT MANY OTHER HAS HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR CARS DATING BACK 2007. MY CAR IS A 2008 WHICH SEEM TO HAVE BEEN FINE TILL NOW. I HAVE HAD THE ALTERNATOR GO OUT AND REPLACED FOLLOWED BY THE BATTERY BEING REPLACED THAT SAME WEEK. I'M AFRAID TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CAR NOW. IT'S KIND OF SCARY TO BE ON THE ROAD AND HAVE THE CAR JUST STOP ON YOU. AND HAVE SOMEONE BEHIND YOU NOT PREPARED TO BE STOPPING SO QUICKLY. I PICK MY GRAND BABY UP FROM SCHOOL AND I WOULD HATE TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN WHILE SHE IS IN THE CAR. I WANT TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE TO LOOK. I HAVEN'T PUT THE MILEAGE DOWN BECAUSE IM AT WORK PUTTING IN THIS REPORT AND ITS DARK. BUT THE MILEAGE IS WELL OVER 150,000. *TR

AIR BAGS
IT W APPROXIMATELY 9:20 AM ON MAY 12, 2014 WHEN I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM MY SONS HOME IN ROCHESTER, NY TO LIVONIA, MI. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY LEFT DRIVERS SIDE BACK WHEEL IT THE GRAVEL IN THE FAR LEFT LANE NEAREST TO THE GUARD RAIL. I TURNED MY WHEEL AND WHEN I DID THE CAR STARTED TO SPIN HIT THE GUARD RAIL HEAD ON AND SPUN AGAIN AND I WENT HEAD ON INTO A DITCH AND TOTALED MY WHOLE FRONT END AND MY INJURIES WERE DEVASTATING. MY ENTIRE AIR BAG SYSTEM DID NOT IMPLODE. MY FAMILY IN NY TOOK ALL PICTURES FROM WHERE THE CAR WAS TOWED. NOT ONE THING WAS BROKEN IN MY INTERIOR NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF AND EVEN THE STATE POLICE AND WITNESSES AND EMS STATED TO MY FAMILY THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW I DIDN'T GO THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD BY THE GRACE OF GOD. I FRACTURED MY BACK AND HAVE LOST L2 & L3 IN MY SPINE WITH A LUMBER FUSION FROM L5 TO L12. THE SPINAL SURGEON WHO SAYS I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THIS SEVERE OF A BACK INJURY AND HEAD INJURY, OH YES MY HEAD INJURY. I HIT MY HEAD SO SEVERE I WAS IN THE PYSCH WARD FOR 4 DAYS BEFORE THEY COULD DO MY BACK SURGERY.MY TIME IN BUFFALO WAS SO AWFUL. I DIDN'T KNOW ANYONE I THOUGHT I WAS KIDNAPPED BY [XXX] AND THE SIBERAN LIBERATION ARMY AND I WAS BEING HELD CAPTIVE. I WAS GIVEN A CT SCAN AND ONE MONTH AGO AS MY MEMORY AND SPEECH HAS BEGAN TO GET WORSE ALONG WITH MY PERMANENT WALKING AND DEFECTIVE SPINE. I AM ENCOURAGED BY MY SPINE DOCTOR AND MEDICAL DOCTOR TO SEEK ADVICE ON THIS PROBLEM OF THE AIR BAGS NOT IMPLODING. THEY ALL FROM BUFFALO TO HERE IN MI HAVE SAID THE AIR BAGS WERE THE REASON I HAVE THESE INJURIES. I AM ALIVE TODAY BY THE GRACE OF GOD AND MY SEAT BELT! PLEASE FOR THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS SMALL VEHICLE CHECK OUT THE AIR BAGS AND LET US KNOW WHAT IS THE REASON THEY DIDN'T IMPLODE. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE INSIDE AND OUT AND WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATIVE OF YOUR HELP. GOD BLESS.

POWER TRAIN
MY 2008 CALIBER HAD A REAL BAD TAPPING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AREA, WHEN I WAS READING ONLINE WHAT IT COULD BE I FOUND THAT THE ADJUSTER PULLEY ON THE ALTERNATOR WAS THE CULPRIT, SO I REPLACED IT ONLY TO STILL HEAR WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR MAKE A GRINDING NOISE LIKE RUBBING METAL TOGETHER FROM THE TRANSMISSION, I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND WATCHED THEM INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION, THE MECHANICS TOLD ME IT IS THE GEARS IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT, AND OF COURSE THE WARRANTY IS UP, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T HELP AS USUAL. BESIDES THE PULLEY AND THE TRANSMISSION THE BODY HAS CORROSION UNDER THE PASSENGER DOOR AS WELL AS IN THE HATCH AREA. I STILL HAVE 4 MORE PAYMENTS ON THE CAR AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TRANSMISSION OR BODY FAILURES WHEN THE CAR IS NOT EXPOSED TO HARSH CONDITIONS AND HAS 70,000 MILES. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE/CHRYSLER VEHICLE AGAIN. *TR

AIR BAGS
I WAS GOING HOME ONE EVENING WHEN I SWERVED TO MISS A DEER AND I WENT OFF A LITTLE DITCH AND HIT A TREE. NONE OF MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS FLOWN TO THE HOSPITAL. I HAD SHATTERED MY SHOULDER, BROKE MY HIP, ANKLE, AND 7 OF MY RIBS. I WAS BED BOUND AND WHEEL CHAIR BOUND FOR 3 MONTHS AND COULD NOT WALK AT ALL. IT WAS VERY DEVASTATING. I WAS IN VERY GOOD HEALTH BUT NOT NOW. I DID HAVE TO LEARN TO WALK AGAIN BUT I DID IT. I DO HAVE TO LIVE WITH SOME LIMITATIONS NOW. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT NONE OF MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. *TR

AIR BAGS
ON 4/10/2013, I WAS BROADSIDED BY A PICK-UP TRUCK AT 18TH & PIKE STREETS. THE GLASS EXPLODED, MY CAR THEN WENT INTO A BACKWARD SPIN. I SPUN ABOUT THREE TIMES AND THEN COMING OUT OF THE SPIN CRASHED HEAD ON INTO A LARGE SUV THAT WAS DOUBLED PARKED. MY CAR BOUNCED OFF THE SUV, THE ENGINE THEN SHUT DOWN AND MY CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STEP ON THE BRAKE AND STOP THE CAR FROM ROLLING. ONE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE WAS THAT NOT ONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY CAR CAME EQUIPPED WITH SIDE AIRBAGS, PASSENGER AND A DRIVER AIRBAG. I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW AND I WAS REALLY HAPPY ABOUT HAVING THIS SAFETY FEATURE BUT HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED WHEN THEY DID NOT WORK. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT BECAUSE I WAS NOT PARAPLEGIC, PARALYZED OR DEAD! I FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM BECAUSE OTHER DODGE OWNERS ARE DRIVING AROUND AND MAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I DID. I WOULD HOPE NOBODY HAS TO DIE, BECOME PARAPLEGIC OR PARALYZED FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT FAULTY AIRBAGS. MY CAR WAS TOTALED. I HAVE PICTURES IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I AM REPORTING A "POSSIBLE" SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND STARTING THE CAR TO DRIVE, I NOTICED THE LOSS OF CONTROL / POWER TO THE FOLLOWING ITEMS: LEFT AND RIGHT TURN SIGNAL ACTIVATION, FRONT AND REAR WIPER ACTIVATION, FRONT AND REAR WIDOW WASH, CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATION, PARK, AND INTERIOR LIGHT ACTIVATION. (NOTE: HEAD LIGHTS DID ACTIVATE.) ALL ACTIVATION LEVERS / SWITCHES ARE LOCATED ON THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. PROBLEM WAS UNAFFECTED BY THE MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE, THE MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL, OR THE MOVEMENT OF THE COLUMN POSITION. PROBLEM DISAPPEARED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND THE KEY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. UPON RE-ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING THE CAR THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARED. PROBLEM IS NOT CURRENTLY PRESENT FOR EXAMINATION. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AT A RED LIGHT, TRAIN WAS COMING SO I WAS HOLDING MY BRAKES. IT FELT AS IF THE CAR WAS JERKING FORWARD NOT WITH ALOT OF POWER BUT ENOUGH FOR ME TO NOTICE. I LOOK AT MY DASH AND I NOTICED THAT A REDLIGHT THAT SEEM TO BE RED LIGHTING BOLTS WAS ON. I IMMEDIATELY PULL MY CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. WHILE TRYING TO GET THE CAR OUT OF THE ROAD I NOTICE IT WAS SLOWLY ACCELERATING MY CAR DIDN'T GO PASS 20MPH. I PARKED THE CAR AND WAITED TO SEE IF I COULD JUST TRY TO DRIVE IT HOME WHICH WAS ONLY 1.5 MILES AT THE MOST AWAY. I HAD NO ISSUES BESIDES THE CAR WOULDN'T GO PASS 20MPH AND WHEN IT STALLED IT SEEMED AS IF IT WOULD JERK FORWARD, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR HOME. BEFORE THAT DAY I HAD NO ISSUES. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I AM WRITING TO DISCUSS A POSSIBLE DANGER IN THE DESIGN OF THE FUSE BOX. THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD OF THE DODGE CALIBER APPEARS TO ALLOW TOO MUCH MOISTURE BEYOND THE UPPER SEAL. EVERY 10,15, AND 20 AMP MINI FUSE DEVELOPS EXCESSIVE OXIDATION ON THE CONTACTS. THE OXIDATION MAY CAUSE MALFUNCTIONS IN TWO WAYS. THE FIRST IS PHANTOM ERROR CODES AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. THE SECOND IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION MAY SLIP OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING CAUSING SUDDEN LOSS OF DRIVE POWER AND LEAD TO COLLISIONS. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT CONCERNS ME IS THE POTENTIAL FOR CIRCUITS TO OVERHEAT RESULTING IN ELECTRICAL FIRES UNDER THE DASH AND UNDER THE HOOD OF THE CALIBER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, WHEELS
WE WERE NOTICING THE CAR BEING SLUGGISH AND NOT WANTING TO PICK UP SPEED SO WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT LOOKED AT. BEFORE THAT COULD HAPPEN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT POPPED ON WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 20MPH AND FELT LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL OUT. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THE ETC LIGHT WENT OFF AFTER A FEW SECONDS. I WAS LUCKY IT WAS VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING AND THE INTERSECTION WAS EMPTY. I CONTINUED ON MY WAY TO WORK ABOUT 1/2 MILE AND THE ETC CAME BACK ON. I MANAGED TO GET IT TO WORK AND PARKED IT. I LOOKED UP WHAT THE LIGHT MEANS AND PROCEEDED TO GOOGLE WHAT IT WAS FOR MY CAR. I WAS SOCKED BY HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR THE MAKE AND MODEL. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THIS ISSUE WAS NOT KNOWN OR RECALLED. CAR OWNERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT BECAME A HAZARD. I LEFT WORK AND PRAYED MY CAR WOULD MAKE IT THE 1/2 MILE TO MY HOME. UNFORTUNATELY , THE ETC LIGHT CAME BACK ON THEN STARTED FLASHING. AFTER READING OTHER CAR OWNERS POSTS I DECIDED NOT TO RISK STALING IT ON A BRIDGE SO I COASTED IT INTO A GAS STATION WERE IT CHUGGED OUT. I WALKED THE REST OF THE WAY HOME IN 85 DEGREE WEATHER. WE TOWED THE CAR TO OUR REPAIR PLACE, THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER TO READ THE CODES, THEN THEY RESET THE CONTROLS HOPING IT WOULD BY PASS A GLITCH. IT DIDN'T. THEY THEN HAD US BRING THE CAR TO A DODGE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS FAMILIAR WITH HE PROBLEM "THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WITH THESE CARS." THEY COULDN'T GET TO IT UNTIL AFTER THE FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND. THEY INSTALLED THE REPLACEMENT THROTTLE BODY $272.42 (PART 4891735AC) AT A COST OF 566.00 TOTAL. WE JUST GOT THE CAR BACK TODAY. IT IS RUNNING SMOOTHER BUT ONLY TIME WILL TELL IF THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. UPDATED 02/27/2015 *JS

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DURING A SEVERE RAINSTORM IN MY AREA, I WAS LEAVING AN EVENT PARKING LOT TO DRIVE HOME. WHILE WAITING AT THE STOP LIGHT I ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAUSE OF THE SEVERE RAIN. THEY FAILED TO START. WHILE SITTING AT THE LIGHT I RESTARTED MY CAR HOPING THAT WOULD ALLEVIATE THE APPARENT 'SHORT' IN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, BUT IT DID NOT. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I WAS FORCED TO MOVE FORWARD. WHILE DRIVING SLOW, I ROLLED MY WINDOW DOWN AND ATTEMPTED TO GUIDE THE CAR TO A SAFE SPOT TO PULL OVER. I COULDN'T IDENTIFY A PLACE THROUGH ALL OF THE RAIN, AND ALSO I WAS DRIVING IN BUSY DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC. I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN MORE BUT LOOKED FORWARD AND ALL I COULD SEE WERE TREES COMING UP QUICKLY THROUGH THE BLURRY WINDSHIELD; I IMMEDIATELY JOLTED TO A STOP AS I HIT AN ISLAND/MEDIAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. MY CAR WAS SCRAPED BY TREES AND PARKING CONES WHICH WERE LAYING IN THE MEDIAN. I HEARD SCRAPING AND A LARGE THUD AS MY CAR CAME TO A STOP. STILL IN THE RAIN, I PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND WAITED UNTIL THE POLICE ARRIVED. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I AM EXTREMELY IRRITATED THAT MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING IN A TERRIBLE RAINSTORM. THIS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. MY VEHICLE IS 6 YEARS OLD; AT THE 5 YEAR MARK I TOOK IT IN FOR A FULL-SYSTEM MAINTENANCE WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MY CHOICE IN PURCHASING DODGE. *TR
