“My daughter bought a used 2007 Dodge caliber with 83,493 miles on it in 2016. In 2018 the car became very unstable and found the cross structure in the rear was so corroded and rusted it cracked in half. She, I, and others could have been killed. And I see now 100's of others that has the same problem. What do we do about this? Eat $5,000.00 ? This needs to be taken care of.. She was driving and I was with her at night and raining, on the freeway when it started to shake so bad I thought it was going to fall apart.

NHTSA complaint #11112825, filed 2018-07, 86,000 miles“On 10/6/14 I was driving to school at 6:00 am on a single lane back road. Without warning the speedometer stopped working (went to zero), and the ABS, brake, anti-skid and check engine lights came on. Because of my location I had to keep driving until I got to a safe area. The whole time there was no way of telling my speed or know if my brakes were working normal. After I shut it off and restarted, it went back to normal. When I got home we checked the error codes and found u1110 lost vehicle speed, u1120 lost wheel distance and u0416 invalid data received from dynamic ctr 1. …”
NHTSA complaint #10643936, filed 2014-10, 158,250 miles“I bought a 2007 Dodge caliber and the following things have happened that resulted in a accident. 1.) the blower motor went out only 2 months after buying the car. 2.) the steering wheel controls for the volume and changing the channels have never worked. I have brought the car into the shop 14 times and the issue has never been fixed. 3.) first brake failure was about a year after buying the car and was due to the booster cylinder and master cylinder failing. Ourisman Dodge put me into a rental car for about 10 days. …”
NHTSA complaint #10373293, filed 2010-12, 67,000 miles“I purchased a 2007 Dodge caliber august 2006. At approximately 43k miles june 2008, two warning lights triggered: esp bass and traction control. Upon contacting the dealer, david Dodge, and delivering my vehicle for inspection, I was informed that the rear braking system was the problem and it must be replaced; of course, at my expense of $258. Again, july 22, 2008 these two lights triggered. This action prompted me to pursue the NHTSA website in search of recall. Surprisingly, there were two recalls for this particular vehicle. Amazingly, the first referenced the rear braking system. …”
