ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
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

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE 2011 DODGE CALIBER I PURCHASED HAD SEVEN (7) MILES ON IT WHEN I TEST DROVE IT. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AT THE STOP LIGHT AND WHILE IN MOTION. MOST OF THE STALLS WERE EXPERIENCED AFTER MAKING A TURN. IT HAS STALLED FIVE TIMES. I HAVE NOT REACHED THIRTY DAYS OF OWNERSHIP. THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS STUCK WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE AT LEAST EIGHT TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE TWICE. THE DEALERSHIPS STATED THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE STALL OR THE IGNITION STICKING ON THE FIRST SERVICE VISIT. ON THE SECOND SERVICE VISIT, THEY AGAIN REPORTED THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE STALL, BUT DID ACKNOWLEDGE THE IGNITION STICKING AND REPORTEDLY REPLACED THE IGNITION. THE IGNITION STUCK WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP AND STALLED TWO DAYS LATER. I HAVE EXPERIENCED NEARLY BEING STRUCK BY APPROACHING TRAFFIC AS I MADE A LEGAL LEFT TURN AND BARELY CLEARED THE INTERSECTION. *TR
