2010 Dodge Caliber complaints

TRANSMISSION FAILURE UNDER 100,00 MILES. TOOK IT TO 3 DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION (CVT) , WHICH DODGE ONLY USES FOR THE CALIBER IS BASICALLY JUNK. PRECISION SAID THAT HE'S SEEN SO MANY OF THESE CARS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY DON'T REBUILD THEM BECAUSE OF HOW THEY ARE MADE. I COULD TAKE A CHANCE ON BUYING A REMANUFACTURED ONE AT A COST OF 1500.00 PLUS 650.00 LABOR AND A YEAR OR SO LATER HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. OR A BRAND NEW ONE AT A COST OF 3000-4000 DOLLARS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. SOME STATING FAILURE AT ONLY 36,000 MILES. AND THEY PUT THESE TRANSMISSIONS IN BOTH , 2.0 AND 2.4 MOTORS . THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS AS THEY ARE JUNK AND THEY KNOW IT. IT GAVE ME NO WARNING. WENT TO WORK ONE DAY, TRIED TO GO TO QWIK TRIP ON LUNCH. CAR STARTED MAKING THIS LOUD NOISE WHEN I ACCELERATED, RPM'S SHOT WAY UP AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SO DROVE IT BACK TO MY JOB AND MORE I ACCELERATED THE MORE NOISE IT MADE. HAD TO GET IT TOWED FROM MY JOB TO MY AUNTS HOUSE BECAUSE IT WAS CLOSER THAN MY HOUSE WHICH IS :35 MINUTES DRIVE.

MY SUBFRAME RUSTED OUT AFFECTING MY STEERING. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE SINCE I ALMOST LOST ALL CONTROL. SINCE MY CAR CAME FROM A SALT STATE THE SUBFRAME IS BEING REPLACED DUE TO A WARRANTY EXTENSION FROM DODGE, HOWEVER THE CONTROL ARMS NEED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. THEY HAVE PREMATURELY WORN OUT DUE TO THR INCORRECT SUPPORT OF THE SUBFRAME. DODGE REFUSES TO FIX THIS AS WELL.

DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS ON A CITY STREET WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND DRAG. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 25 MPH AND THE RPMS WERE VERY HIGH AT THAT LOW SPEED. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF AND PARK THE CAR. AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION AND WAITING A BIT I TRIED TO RESTART IT. THE ETC LIGHT REMAINED ON AND SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT POSSIBLE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND SERVICED. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO INCIDENCES IN 6 MONTHS. 3/28/2018, 8/14/2018. THE INDICATOR LIGHT IS FOR ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AND THE PART REPLACED IS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE TRIED A NEW ONE AND NOTHING. I HAVE POWER TO THE SOCKET BUT THE LIGHT WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE READ THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE FUSE BOX. IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE THEY MADE THE CAR IN 2007. $1000.00 OR BETTER TO FIX IT.

I HAVE TWO RECALLS ON MY CAR AND NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME RE: REPAIRS. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY FILED COMPLAINTS , BUT TO NO AVAIL. (FCA CASE # 31526867 AMD NHTSA #10968930). THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS, BUT THE SEAT BELTS AREN'T RETRACTING LIKE THEY SHOULD.

"TAKATA RECALL"MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A VEHICLE AND WE THOUGHT WE GOT A GOOD DEAL UNTIL THE CAR QUICKLY BECAME A DEATH TRAP THAT WAS SO UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE STEERING WOULD PULL TOO THE LEFT AND WHEN WE WENT AROUND A BRIDGE ON THE FREEWAY OR ANY TURNING OF THE WHEEL. WE HAD TO STABILIZE THE CAR BECAUSE IT WOULD ALMOST HOP TO THE LEFT AND THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF TRAFFIC REGARDLESS ON FREEWAY OR STREETS. WE TOLD THEM THERE WAS A LAPSE IN THE SPEED AND THIS HAS JUST BEEN A NIGHTMARE. WE ALREADY PAID ALMOST ALL THE CAR AND WE STILL HAVE OUR WARRANTY BUT THEY WANT US TO PAY 400 DOLLARS, WHAT WE PAY AS A CAR PYMT EVERY MONTH. OR THEY SAID THEY'D FINANCE THE WORK THEY DO ON THE CAR THROUGH CAR FINANCE DEPARTMENT. MY WIFE SAID ABSOLUTELY NOT. WE HAVE KIDS AND INSTEAD OF ENJOYING TIME IN THE CAR, WE'VE SPENT STRESSED PAYING FOR IT SINCE THE FIRST WEEK. WE'VE BEEN TO THE POINT OF SO MUCH FEAR TO FEELING AS THOUGH IT'S AN ICY DAY AND THE ROADS ARE WET AND SO SLIPPERY BUT THE PROBLEM IS... IT WASN'T EVEN RAINING OR SNOWING.. FEAR OF CRASHING OR SOMETHING BREAKING. MY WIFE READ A LOT ABOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING WITH OUR VEHICLE. SHE SAW TOO MANY PEOPLE, IUST LIKE US AND IT SAID RECALLED, BUT IT SAID THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED BUT HASN'T BEEN AT THAT TIME. I'M REPORTING THIS BECAUSE WE AREN'T GOING TO PAY TO DIE IN A CAR THE MECHANIC DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO DRIVE FAR BECAUSE IT WASN'T SAFE!! THE MECHANIC FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED THE CARFROM

FRAME WHERE LOWER CONTROL ARM BOLTS ON RUSTED THROUGH AND CRACKED. WHEEL ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE SUDDENLY LOST ALIGNMENT WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A ROAD IN LANSING. I'M LUCKY IT DIDN'T COME COMPLETELY OFF AS I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH DIRECTLY AFTER DRIVING AT SLOWER SPEEDS WITH MANY TURNS IN EAST LANSING.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,009.

WHAT IS A RESONABLE TIME TO WAIT FOR A CAR MANUFACTUER TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION OR BEGIN FIXING PROBLEM?

I'VE HAD THE ARM BAR AND BALL JOINT REPLACED TWICE IN A YEAR'S TIME, WHICH CAUSES A GRINDING NOISE. I'VE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED THREE TIMES ALONG WITH RATTLE CLIPS, IN THE LAST YEAR, WITH NO PREVAIL IN CHANGING THE NOISE NOR HIGH SPEED-BRAKING OSCILLATING. A CALIPER HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED. WHILE SITTING AT STOP LIGHTS, THE CAR UNPREDICTABLY STALLS-- I'VE TRIED TO REPRODUCE THE SETTING TO HAVE THE ISSUE HAPPEN WHEN A TECHNICIAN TESTS IT, BUT IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN UNPREDICTABLY. THE CAR HAS LEAKED FROM SOME ENTRY POINT TO CAUSE THE FLOOR BOARDS TO BE WET, AND IN THE LAST YEAR, THE SUN ROOF SEEMS TO BE LEAKING AS I HAVE WATER POURING ONTO ME FROM THE FRONT DOME LIGHTT. THE WATER IS CAUSING MOLD, WHICH IS NOT BENEFICIAL TO THE FAMILY I DRIVE WITH. BASED ON THE NHTSA SITE AND THE THOUSANDS OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS, THESE ARE PRETTY WILDLY KNOWN ISSUES BY DODGE, DESPITE THE LACK OF COMPLAINTS ON THESE SITES.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE TURNPIKE (70 MPH) MY ETC LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND DROP DOWN IN SPEED. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD QUICK ENOUGH BEFORE I WAS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. MY CAR ULTIMATELY ENDED HAVING TO BE TOWED BECAUSE THE ETC LIGHT WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO DRIVE MORE THAN 2-5 MPH. I AM GETTING RID OF THIS CAR. IT WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN IT SINCE I TAKE THE TURN PIKE EVERY DAY.

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR STATE HIGHWAY, MY TEMPERATURE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HEARD A WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND MY VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER WHEN IT STALLED OUT. I LET IT SIT FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND STARTED THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND THEY CONDUCTED A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOSE GAS CAP THAT CAUSED THIS ISSUE. THE LAST TIME I WENT TO THE GAS STATION WAS ABOUT TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. I DROVE SEVERAL PLACES BEFORE THE INCIDENT. IF IT WAS A GAS CAP ISSUE, THE CAR WOULD HAVE STALLED OUT BEFORE THAT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

AIR BAG PROBLEMS, RECALL S-61 MODULE I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW AN AIR BAG RUSTED OVER TIME WHEN THE CAR IS USED ON A DAILY BASES. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE SINCE 2/18/17 AND WAS TOLD A MANAGER WAS GOING TO GIVE ME A CALL BACK IT IS NOW 3/8/17 AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM A MANGER.

THE TIPM MODULE CAUSES THE LEFT HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM TO NOT WORK, AFTER REPLACING THE BULB.

JULY 03, 2014 THE INTERNAL ELECTRONIC THROTTLE WAS REPLACED, IT IS NOW DOING THE SAME THING AS THEN AS OF DECEMBER 01, 2016.. ETC LIGHT COMES ON, DECREASE IN ACCELERATION , STUMBLES IN TAKE OFF, HESITATES, HAVE TO PULL CAR OFF ROAD AND STOP, WAIT A FEW MINUTES TO RESET AND IT WILL CONTINUE LIKE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. NEED TO CHECK THE MANUFACTORY WARRANTY ON THIS PART. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY WARRANT THE PART FOR UP TO 2 YEARS BUT CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTORY. HOW DO I DO THAT AND KNOW WHAT THE MANUFACTORY IS?

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY WIPERS GOING ON BY THEMSELVES WHEN I USE MY TURN SIGNALS TO TAKE EITHER A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT QUITE OFTEN. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW DIFFERENT TIME, BUT WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM 45MPH ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM AN ON RAMP MY DODGE CALIBER 2010 STARTED TO JERK AND WOULDN'T LET ME GO ANY FASTER, WHICH MADE MY CAR ACTUALLY DECELERATE. ALSO THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I TRIED ACCELERATING TO PASS SOMEONE AND IT JUST WOULDN'T GO ANY FASTER, BUT THERE WERE NO JERKS.

WE PURCHASED VECHICLE 2012. HAVE HAD NUMBEROUS FUSES BLOWN; FRONT BLINKERS AND LIGHTS REAR BLINKERS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ALSO THE PLUG IN WHERE CIGGERATE LIGHTER. ANOTHER ISSUE IS WITH CAR RANDOMLY NOT STARTING. TURNING OVER FOR 5-10 SECS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALTANATOR TWICE, NEWER BATTERY AND STARTER. AT ONE POINT IT DID WORK. THE CD PLAYER AND CONTROLS PANEL GOES BLACK WHEN INSERTING CD IT FLICKERS AND GOES BLACK.. TEMPERATURE GAGE ABOVE STEERING WHEEL LIGHTS CONSTANTLY FLICKERS..LAST ISSUE IS WITH DOOR LOCKS NOT UNLOCKING ITS A MENACE..NEEDLESS TO SAY ITS BEEN NOTHING BUT A HEADACHE.. RECENTLY RECIEVED RECALL NOTICE IN MAIL

MY VEHICLE IS STILL WAITING TO BE SERVICED FOR THE RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS. ALSO MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON RANDOMLY WHEN I TURN ON MY TURN SIGNAL. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE APRIL OF 2015, A MONTH AFTER I GOT THE VEHICLE.

THERE IS A RECALL ON THESE PARTS ON MY AUTOMOBILE AND THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR. I AM WORRIED AND NERVOUS ABOUT THIS POSSIBLY FAILING IN MY CAR DUE TO ALL THE PAST INCIDENTS WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS REMEDIED IF NOT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. THIS HAS INCREASED MY RISK TO DANGER AND AS A RESULT I AM NO LONGER CONFIDENT IN THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY TIMELINE ON WHEN THIS ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED.

ON 10/5/2016, THE SUB FRAME ON MY CAR BROKE DUE TO IT BEING RUSTED THROUGH. THANK GOODNESS IT BROKE WHEN I WAS GOING AT A SLOW SPEED, AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. I HAD TO BE TOWED AND IT WAS PUT ONTO A LIFT. THE GARAGE MECHANIC INSPECTED THE CAR'S SUB FRAME, WHICH WAS BROKEN AND RUSTED COMPLETELY, BUT THE REST OF THE CAR IS PERFECT, NOT A SPECK OF RUST. WHEN I CALLED THE DODGE CORPORATION NUMBER I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS, ONLY PRIOR YEARS, WHICH HAS THE SAME PART! I WAS TOLD THAT I LIVE IN A HIGH CORROSION AREA, DUE TO SALT ON OUR ROADS IN THE WINTER. IF THAT WAS THE CASE, THEN WHY IS THIS THE ONLY PART IN THE CAR THAT IS RUSTED? I WAS CHARGED $1032.86 FOR THE NEW PART TO BE INSTALLED, AND IT ALSO HAD TO BE ALIGNED. I HAVE LOOKED ON LINE AND SEEN A NUMEROUS NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE FROM OTHER PEOPLE. THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER EMPLOYEES STATED THAT THEY SEE THIS HAPPENING FREQUENTLY!

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR MY TRANSAXLE OVERHEATING LIGHT WILL ILLIMINATE. MY CAR WILL SLOW DOWN AND NOT KEEP THE SPEED UP. I HAVE TO PULL OVER UNTIL THE LIGHT GOES OUT THEN I CAN CONTINUE MY DRIVING BUT IT WILL DO IT ALL AGAIN 10 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH I WAS JUST ON A TRIP 2 HOURS FROM HOME. IN A 30 MINUTE TIME FRAME I HAD TO PULL OVER 6 TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I HAVE NOTICED MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET?

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE CROSSING SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I DON'T GET ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD, JUST LOSS OF POWER.
