POWER TRAIN, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2008 DODGE CALIBER - CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR $700 IN REPAIRS. THEY STATE THAT THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR WOULD RANDOMLY AND SUDDENLY BOGG DOWN UPON NORMAL ACCELERATION--VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC-- AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE EITHER MOMENTARILY OR FLASH. IT WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 10 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET HAS REVEALED MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. DODGE TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS CLAIMING IT NOT TO BE A COVERED PART OF THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. WHEN QUESTIONED, THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT WHEN CARBON BEGINS TO FORM THAT "APPARENTLY THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT CARBS UP". I ASKED, "DO YOU MEAN NORMAL CARBON FORMATION THAT HAPPENS IN ALL ENGINES." THE RESPONSE WAS, YES AND THAT THEY RECOMMEND A "CARB CLEANOUT" EVERY 30,000 MILES (MINE IS AT 53,000). I THEN ASKED (KNOWING THE ANSWER) IF THAT WAS MAINTENANCE THAT WAS INCLUDED WITH OTHER MAINTENANCE IN THE MANUAL. OF COURSE, THE REPLY WAS "NO". THIS FAILURE, WHEN IT HAPPENS, PRESENTS AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT ONLY HAD TO PUT ME IN A BAD PREDICAMENT ONCE BEFORE I HEADED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE MERE FACT THAT THE DEALERSHIP SEEMED TO BE AWARE OF THIS EXCESSIVE CARBON PROBLEM MAKES ME FEEL THAT THEY DO, INDEED, HAVE SOME RESPONSIBILITY TO THIS ISSUE. I HAVE READ COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. ONE UNFORTUNATE MAN WAS HIT BY A GASOLINE TRUCK WHEN THIS OCCURRED. IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT MORE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW TO COME HERE AND FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT RATHER THAN POSTING ON BLOGS TO TRY TO HELP OTHERS. I IMPLORE WHOMEVER HAS THE AUTHORITY TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
FRONT LEFT TIRE PRESSURE DROPPED TO 25 PSI IN EARLY DECEMBER 2010. CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH FACTORY TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WHICH PROVIDES NUMERIC PRESSURE FOR ALL 4 TIRES PLUS AN AMBER WARNING LIGHT IF PRESSURE DROPS BELOW SAFE LEVELS. ASSUMED PRESSURE DROP WAS DUE TO LOW AIR TEMPERATURE - APPROX. 20 DEGF. ADDED AIR TO ALL 4 TIRES THE NEXT DAY, FRONT LEFT WAS FOUND TO BE 25 PSI CONFIRMED WITH A HAND-HELD MECHANICAL GAUGE, REMAINING 3 TIRES WERE 30-31 PSI. FILLED ALL TIRES TO 32-33 PSI (FACTORY PLACARD SPECIFIES 32 PSI COLD) OVER THE COURSE OF 2 DAYS THE FRONT LEFT TIRE PRESSURE AGAIN DROPPED. TPM SHOWED 28 PSI AT FRONT LEFT TIRE, 32-33 PSI IN REMAINING TIRES. REFILLED FRONT LEFT TO 34 PSI. REMOVED FRONT LEFT TIRE AND INSPECTED FOR LEAKS USING SOAPY WATER. NO LEAKS FOUND. REINSTALLED FRONT LEFT TIRE. OVER 2 WEEKS, PRESSURE DROPPED TO LOW 20'S PSI ON FRONT LEFT TIRE. REFILLED TO 34-35 PSI EACH TIME. AFTER THE FINAL REFILL, PRESSURE DROPPED TO 19 PSI OVER A 12 HOUR PERIOD. DROVE CAR TO SERVICE STATION AND VALVE STEM SNAPPED NEAR THE BASE OF THE THREADS WHILE ADDING AIR. RESULTED IN IMMEDIATE TIRE DEFLATION. CENTER CHECK VALVE CAME OUT WITH IT. WILL RETAIN ALL PIECES FOR INSPECTION UPON REQUEST, PLUS PLASTIC VALVE STEM CAP. ALL PARTS ARE OEM. VALVE STEM IS PART OF THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SENSOR ASSEMBLY WHICH IS A COMMON PART FOR MOST JEEP DODGE CHRYSLER VEHICLES. HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME FAILURE. SUSPECTED ROOT CAUSE WAS USING METALLIC VALVE CAPS THAT COULD CAUSE CORROSION, HOWEVER, SUSPECT VALVE CAP ON MY CAR IS PLASTIC AS SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
COMPLAINED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS TO THE STONE MOUNTAIN DODGE DEALER THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY FUEL GAUGE. IT DOES NOT KEEP AN ACCURATE ACCOUNT OF THE FUEL IN MY FUEL TANK. UPON FILLING UP MY CAR ON FULL WITH FUEL, IT WOULD GIVE AN INACCURATE READING RIGHT AWAY. AS SOON AS I DROVE OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. I EXPLAINED THIS TO THE DEALER ON A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PART THAT MY CAR NEEDED, AND IT WAS ON ORDER AND WOULD BE IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. I WOULD WAIT A COUPLE OF MONTHS, AND RETURN TO THE DEALER, AND AT THAT TIME I WAS TOLD THE SAME STORY AGAIN, THAT THIS PART WOULD BE ORDERED, BUT NOW, THEY COULD NOT FIND A MANUFACTURER TO GET THE PART FROM, BUT THAT CORPORATE KNEW ABOUT THIS. ON VARIOUS VISITS TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THERE WAS NEVER A RESOLUTION, AND FINALLY I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT THEIR CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE. UPON CONTACT TO THEIR CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE, I WAS OFFERED A DEAL FOR DODGE TO PAY TWO OF MY CAR NOTES, AND I HAD 30 DAYS TO ACCEPT. I DID NOT ACCEPT THAT OFFER BECAUSE THAT MEANT THAT THERE WAS STILL NO RESOLUTION IN FIXING MY CAR. WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR, IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 18,000 MILES ON MY CAR, AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED AND LOOKED AT BY THEIR MECHANICS, AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE BEFORE DRIVING IT OFF THE LOT. TWO TO THREE MONTHS LATER IS WHEN I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM, AND I FEEL THAT THE DODGE DEALER LIED TO ME WHEN I WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE, AND LATER AGAIN, WHEN I WAS TOLD ON A CONSISTENT BASIS THAT A PART WAS COMING IN AND MY CAR WOULD BE FIXED. I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS FAIR TO ME AS A CONSUMER THAT I AM LITERALLY PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT TRUE. I HAVE CONSISTENTLY BEEN LIED TO BY THEIR SERVICE PEOPLE, AND STILL NO RESOLUTION TO EITHER FIX MY CAR, OR TO EVEN GIVE ME ANOTHER CAR FOR THE SAME VALUE OF WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR. UPDATED 01/21/11

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN TURNING OVER THE KEY TO START THE VEHICLE, NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. TURNING BACK THE KEY AND TRYING AGAIN WOULD TYPICALLY RESULT IN THE CAR STARTING. AFTER 2-3 MONTHS OF THIS INTERMITTENT BEHAVIOR, THE VEHICLE ALSO BEGAN TO ACT AS IF THE KEY WAS IN THE IGNITION AFTER IT WAS REMOVED (IT WOULD DING WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPENED AND NOT ALLOW ME TO LOCK MY DOORS).

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
TIRE SENSOR MONITOR BROKE FOR NO REASON ON TWO OF MY TIRES. CALLED TO GET FIXED AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE AN ESTIMATED 8,000 ON BACKORDER AND NOT SURE WHEN THEY WOULD BE COMING IN. MY TIRE WAS LOSING AIR EVERY 2 DAYS. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. WHY ARE WE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING $100.00 PER SENSOR TO HAVE THIS FIXED WHEN IT IS CLEARLY A DEFECT ON THE MANUFACTURER? CHRYSLER/DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS AND RECALL THE PRODUCT. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE ETC (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL) INDICATOR STARTED FLASHING AND THEN MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS AT 3 RPMS AND COULDN'T GO OVER 10MPH. IT ONLY HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY AT FIRST AND THEN IT BECAME MORE FREQUENT. I WAS GETTING ON THE ON RAMP OF A HIGHWAY WHEN IT STARTED FLASHING AND THEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. LUCKILY THE CARS BEHIND HAD ENOUGH SHOULDER TO SWERVE AROUND ME PREVENTING A ACCIDENT. I COULDN'T START MY CAR RIGHT AWAY I HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 3 MIN. AS SOON AS I RESTARTED IT EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES AND I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. HE REPLACED THE ETC CHIP AND THAT DIDN'T WORK SO HE REPLACED THE ETC BODY. THAT DIDN'T WORK EITHER SO HE SENT IT TO A DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE WHOLE ETC...$900 LATER THAT PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE FINE. I FIND A CAR SHUTTING DOWN WHENEVER IT CHOOSES VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE RESEARCHED IT AND SEEN MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. MOSTLY IN 07' MODELS BUT ALSO 08'S. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
VEHICLE: DODGE CALIBER SXT MODEL 2008 ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 3RD I WAS RETURNING FROM MEXICO STATE TO PUEBLA AROUND 3 PM, USING THE HIGHWAY. I NOTICED A SLIGHT CHANGE IN THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR, SIMILAR TO WHEN THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM NEEDS CLEANING. ABOUT 2 KM PRIOR TO GETTING TO PUEBLA TOLL, THE BRAKES DID NOT ANSWERED AT ALL, THE INSTRUMENT PANELS INDICATOR DID NOT SHOW ANY PROBLEM. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN BY USING THE MOTOR (L), UNTIL I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER AND STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY WITH THE HAND BRAKE. FORTUNATELY I HAD A GOOD SPACE WITH CARS PRECEDING AND AVOIDED ANY COLLISION BY ALSO USING THE ALERT LIGHTS. THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED AS THE MANUAL STATES, AND HAVE NEVER DETECTED ANY PROBLEM RELATED BEFORE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SERVICE WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE FAIL WAS DUE TO A COMPUTER PROBLEM, AND THEY UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE TO A MORE RECENT VERSION, STATING THAT WILL AVOID THE PROBLEM. I ASKED IF THEY HAVE RECEIVED CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY CONFIRMED TO ME THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME, BUT "NOT TOO MANY...". THEN CHECKING NHTSA WEBPAGE FOUND SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT DEALERSHIP NEVER REPORT ISSUE. *TR

TIRES, SUSPENSION
I TOOK MY CALIBER IN FOR SOME WARRANTY WORK. THEY FOUND THE LEFT STRUT WAS BAD. THEY ORDERED THE PART. I WENT BACK IN THE NEXT WEEK FOR THE STRUT AND ALIGNMENT. WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING BACK FROM THE ALIGNMENT PLACE, THEY HAD AN ACCIDENT IN MY CAR. THEY FIXED IT. I HAVE SINCE THEN BROUGHT IT BACK TO A ROAR IN THE CAR. THEY TOLD ME MY TIRES WERE BAD. I ASKED IF IT COULD BE BECAUSE OF THE ALIGNMENT WAS OUT AND THEY SAID NO. I ASKED IF IT COULD BE BECAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT, AGAIN NO. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD ALIGN A CAR WITH BAD TIRES. THEY HAVE MADE NO DEAL FOR ME IN THIS MATTER. THE TIRES DID NOT GO BAD IN A MATTER OF A WEEK. *TR
