IN 2016 IT WAS DISCOVERED MY SUB-FRAME WAS RUSTED THRU. DISCOVERED DODGE HAD A SERVICE BULLENTIN NOT A RECALL SERVICE BULLETIN # 23-012-14, RE: BODY ISSUE DATE: MAY 19, 2014. THIS BULLETIN IS SUPPLIED AS TECHNICAL INFORMATION ONLY AND IS NOT AN AUTHORIZATION FOR REPAIR. NOTE: THIS ONLY APPLIES TO VEHICLES IN THE CANADIAN MARKET AND IN SALT BELT STATES WHICH INCLUDE CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WASHINGTON, D.C., WEST VIRGINIA AND WISCONSIN. DODGE ONLY REPLACED FRONT SUB-FRAME, NOW REAR SUB-FRAMES AND ALL ALONG ROCKER PANELS IS COMPLETELY ROTTED, ENOUGH THAT IT WON'T PASS PENNSYLVANIA STATE INSPECTION. I'VE OWNED VEHICLES IN THE PAST THAT WERE OLDER THAN THIS CALIBER & NEVER HAD THE RUST & ROT ISSUE I DO WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT IS JUST 10 YRS OLD!

I BOUGHT A USED DODGE CALIBER OFF OF A FRIEND IN 2016. I RECENTLY STARTED HEARING A WEIRD METAL CLANKING IN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL AREA. I HAD BEEN ADVISED A YEAR PRIOR THAT I WOULD BE NEEDING TIRE RODS, STRUTS, AND BALL JOINTS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. SO I TOOK IT IN THE BE REPAIRED. AFTER SPENDING OVER $1000 TO GET IT ALL REPAIRED. I DROVE OFF AND THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. WENT BACK TO THE SHOP AND AFTER 35-40 MINUTES OF ROCKING THE VEHICLE WE WERE ABLE TO RECREATE THE NOISE AND LOCATED THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE AREA OF THE CONTROL ARM AND SUB-FRAME. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION WE FOUND THE THE SUB-FRAME TO BE RUSTED THROUGH WHICH WAS CAUSING THE METAL TO POP AND CRACK AS IT WAS FLEXING. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DODGE SERVICE CENTER AND THEY ADVISED THERE WERE NO RECALLS IN REFERENCE TO THE SUB-FRAME. AFTER CHECKING ON LINE I FOUND THAT THERE HAD IN FACT BEEN A EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE SUB-FRAME FOR MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL, BUT IT HAD EXPIRED IN 2016. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT WOULD NOT HONOR THE ORIGINAL "WARRANTY" THAT THEY HAD PLACED ON THE SAME PART. SUBSEQUENTLY I ALSO FOUND THAT THEY HAD THE SAME "WARRANTY" ISSUED FOR THE SAME PART FOR THE SAME MAKE AND MODELS FROM 2008-20012. AFTER RESEARCH THROUGH THE INTERNET I FOUND HUNDREDS OF VEHICLE OWNERS LIKE ME THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND WOULD HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH THE PART.

I HAVE OWNED THIS DODGE CALIBER FOR 6 YEARS NOW AND THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE A VERY POOR DESIGN. IN THE 6 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR I HAVE REPLACED THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS 3 TIMES. BOTH CONTROL ARMS WERE REPLACED EACH TIME BECAUSE THE BUSHINGS WERE BAD, CRACKED AND SPLIT. NOW FOR THE FOURTH TIME I WILL BE REPLACING THESE CONTROL ARMS BECAUSE OF THIS SAME ISSUE.

2007 DODGE CALIBER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO CRACKED MANIFOLD AND RUSTED SUB FRAME. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE FRAME WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT HASN'T PROVIDED THE FUNDING. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CALIBER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE AND REAR CENTER SEAT BELTS BECAME DETACHED FROM THE REAR SUPPORT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BRENNER CHRYSLER JEEP (LOCATED AT 6039 CARLISLE PIKE, MECHANICSBURG, PA 17050, (717) 766-7686) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT BELTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

"TAKATA RECALL" WHILE DRIVING THE 2007 DODGE CALIBER, IT SUDDENLY JERKS AND DOWN SHIFTS AND RPMS SEEM TO SKY ROCKET, THE LIGHTNING BOLT SYMBOL ILLUMINATES AND IT DROPS SPEED AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 30 MPH MAX, IT TENDS TO DO THIS ON HILLS OR AFTER YOU HAVE TO BRAKE SLIGHTLY FOR ANY REASON AND THEN ACCELERATE AGAIN TO MAINTAIN SPEED OR TO GET UP A HILL. NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU TAKE IT EASY ON THE ACCELERATION OR HOW HARD YOU PUSH IT, IT DOESN'T HELP AFTER IT GOES INTO THIS SLOW MODE. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE NORMAL AGAIN IS TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK, TURN IT OFF AND THEN WAIT AND RESTART IT AGAIN, SOME TIMES IT HAS TAKEN UP TO 5 TIMES OR TRYING TO RESTART IT BEFORE IT FINALLY RESTARTS. THIS VEHICLE CARRIES CHILDREN IN IT EVERY DAY, AND IT HAS BECAME VERY UNSAFE TO OPERATE, HAVING A GREAT CHANCE OF BEING REARENDED OR HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE SIDE DUE TO LOSS OF POWER UNEXPECTEDLY

THE VEHICLE BECAME HARD TO CONTROL. TOOK IT TO GET LOOKED AT TO SEE WHY. IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE A RUSTED OUT ENGINE CRADLE. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE SWAY BAR MOUNT WAS RUSTED AND GONE. THE CRADLE SHOULD NOT HAVE RUSTED AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON IT. IF NOT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER AND SEE WHY AND IF THEY WOULD REPLACE IT. IT HAS ALSO HAPPEN TO OTHER MODELS OF DODGE CARS AND JEEPS THAT USE THIS SAME PART. IT IS UNSAFE AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER SAID THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT HAD EXPIRED FOR OUR CAR. THEY HAVE SENT ME NO NOTIFICATION THAT IT HAD THIS WARRANTY OR WE WOULD HAVE HAD IT FIXED BEFORE WE FOUND OUT ON OUR OWN. THIS WARRANTY SHOULD NOT EXPIRE AS THEY HAD USED FAULTY MATERIAL AND KNOW ALL ABOUT IT.

WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK CAME UP TO THE LIGHT AT PONTIAC TRAIL AND 10 MILE I PUT ON THE BRAKES AND THERE WAS WHAT SOUNDED LIKE METAL SCRAPPING AGAINST METAL AND A LOUD THUMP. LATER I MADE IT TO WORK ON NOVI ROAD BETWEEN 10 MILE AND GRAND RIVER I LOOKED BEHIND THE DRIVER WHEEL AND SAW THAT THE K FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND WHAT I THINK IS A STABILITY BAR IS BEING PULLED AWAY FROM THE FRAME. I HAVEN'T DROVE MY VEHICLE IN TWO DAYS BECAUSE I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE.

MY COLLAGE AGE DAUGHTERS CALIBER STARTED MAKING POPPING NOISES WHEN DRIVING. WE TOOK IT TO OUR GARAGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CROSSMEMBER WAS RUSTED OUT. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE SEEN HERE THAT IS THE CASE. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR. I JUST SPENT $1280.00 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM NOT COUNTING THE DANGER IT PUT MY DAUGHTER IN. NOT A HAPPY DAD!!!!

I HAVE REPLACED BOTH FRONT STRUTS BOTH SWAY BAR LINKS PASSENGERS SIDE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM AND BUSHINGS (BALL JOINTS) STILL HERE SOMETHING HITTING AND WHILE DRIVING THE CAR GOES WHERE IT WANTS IN STEERING GOES INTO OTHER LANES TO ONCOMING VEHICLES HAVE TO PULL BACK ONTO MY LANE LIKE IT LOOSES STEERING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CALIBER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED FROM 65 MPH TO 5 MPH, AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART, BUT FAILED TO OPERATE UNTIL MINUTES LATER. THE CONTACT CALLED JOHN ELWAY CHRYSLER AT 970-281-4687 AND WAS ADVISED TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 154,000.

FRONT END SUSPENSION

MY CALIBER ONLY HAS 56271 MILES ON IT. WAS IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE TO DAY AND WAS ADVISED "FRONT SIB-FRAME VERY RUSTY AND HAS SEVERAL HOLES IN FRAME ". WAS TOLD IT WILL COST ABOUT $800.00. I THINK I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF A ISSUE ON THIS. LOT OF THE REPORTS I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS, THE CARS HAD A LOT MORE MILES ON THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CALIBER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE CROSSMEMBER BECAME RUSTED AND THE SUSPENSION AREA MADE A CLUNKING NOISE. GOODWIN BROTHERS AUTOMOBILE CO. IN NEW CASTLE, INDIANA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 213,000.

MY HEADLIGHTS WAS NOT WORKING SO I BOUGHT A REPLACEMENT BULB. THE LOW BEAM WAS OUT THE HIGH BEAM WORKS. THE BULB REPLACEMENT DID NOT WORK. I TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND HE LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS MY FUSE BOX. THE ENTIRE THING NEEDED REPLACED. BEING IN THE BUSINESS HE SAID IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. THE COST TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE THING IS COSTLY SINCE THE IS BASICALLY THE COMPUTER OF THE CAR... THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX WITHOUT REPLACING THE ENTIRE FUSE BOX. THIS FUSE BOX CONTROLS A LOT OF THINGS THAT COULD BE SAFETY ISSUES AND LIGHTING TO ME IS VERY IMPORTANT. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A FUSE BOX. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE WAS NONE. I BEGAN LOOKING ONLINE AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS ASTOUNDING BUT I GUESS UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT CHRYSLER WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN. *TT *TR

I AM CONTACTING YOU REFER TO DODGE SERVICE BULLETIN 23-012-14. THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED INSPECTION. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT COVERS THE REPAIR EXPIRED . I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO ASK FOR COST ASSISTANCE IN COVERING THIS EXISTING PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP AND CORPORATION DENIED MY CLAIM. CASE ID 33139538. I THINK IT'S REASONABLE FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN KEEPING THE CAR ROAD WORTHY. THE VEHICLE HAS 161K, THE LACK OF REPAIR WOULD MAKE THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE INEVITABLY ENDING THE USEFUL EXISTENCE OF IT.

WHEN DRIVING ON US.10 IN MI AT 9 PM HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT ALL OTHER LIGHTS WORK NO HIGH OR LOW BEAMS. THE BULBS ARE BOTH GOOD. ALSO THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL BLINKS VERY FAST AS IF THERE WAS A BURNED OUT BULB BUT THERE IS NOT ONE. THIS IS A 2007 DODGE CALIBER. DOESSOMEONE HAVE TO GETKILLED BEFORE A RECALL IS FORCED ON CHRYSLER?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CALIBER. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BARBERA AUTOLAND (7810 E ROOSEVELT BLVD, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19152 (215) 333-3700) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OF THE HEADLIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BY VOICEMAIL AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A CALLBACK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

CAR STOPPED WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN WOULD T START AT ALL. REPLACED FUSE AND IT RAN FOR A LITTLE BIT AND THEN WOULDN'T ACCELERATE OVER 40. AFTER GETTING BACK HOME ENGINE WOULDN'T START AT ALL OR IT WOULD TAKE ALMOST 30 MINUTES TO TRY AND IT WOULD SOMETIMES FIRE UP. NOW IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. STARTER IS NEW AND THE ONLY OTHER THING WE CAN THINK IS MAYBE ELECTRICAL. THAT AND THE LACK OF ACCELERATION ARE MAJOR PROBLEMS AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!

VEHICLE WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT ON US-23 S NORTH OF COLUMBUS OH. ACCORDING TO MECHANIC, SUBFRAME SNAPPED DUE TO RUST THAT HAD NOT BEEN DETECTED ON PREVIOUS TRIPS TO SHOP. FRONT LEFT CROSS MEMBER DISENGAGED AND THAT CORNER OF THE CAR HIT THE PAVEMENT AT ~30 MPH. HAD WE BEEN TRAVELING AT FULL POSTED SPEED (55 MPH) WHEN SUBFRAME SNAPPED THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER'S RECORDS SAY EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE UNDER TSB 23-012-14 ENDED EARLIER THIS YEAR. CHRYSLER ISSUED NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE DESPITE OBVIOUS SAFETY IMPLICATIONS. CAR WAS PURCHASED USED IN 2012 SO OF COURSE NO NOTIFICATION WAS RECEIVED FROM CHRYSLER WHEN THIS TSB WAS ISSUED IN 2014. WE DEMAND THAT CHRYSLER OWN UP TO THE SEVERITY OF THIS PROBLEM AND PROPERLY COMPENSATE ALL AFFECTED OWNERS. NHTSA NEEDS TO PRESSURE CHRYSLER TO MAKE IT RIGHT IF THEY WANT TO AVOID A CLASS ACTION SUIT.
