2007 Dodge Caliber AWD Fuel system Problems

“In july 2009 I returned to the dealer for a service, I also complained about the car intermittently not accelerating properly from a stop or near stop, it hesitated dramatically. The dealer could not replicate the problem and could do nothing to fix it. This is still an ongoing issue. Then in june of 2013, while driving on a four lane highway at approximately 65 miles an hour, the car lost all acceleration, a moment later started a warning beep and the check engine light came on. …”

“My 2007 Dodge caliber has had 5 episodes of the accelerator going to the floor and the car speeding up and the RPM going to high, each time I have been driving. The first time from arizona to arkansas and at aprox 800 miles it happened and as one is when traveling I was tired and things were cluttered so I assumed it was the floor mat and pulled it down and went on.

This is a well documented problem within online forums (including youtube) regarding this model of vehicle. This a dangerous problem. I once stalled and was nearly involved in a rear-end collision while trying to merge onto the freeway in this car.”

“On the day of the incident my car started jerking and acted like it would die when I gave the car gas. I took it to a mechanic who did an oil change and checked the engine codes. I picked the car up from that mechanic and the car was still doing the same thing. I took it to another mechanic and they updated the computer on the car, changed the plugs and flushed the motor. The car is still doing the same thing. The other day I was accelerating up a hill and the red lightning bolt light came on the car was still running but was not getting any gas. …”
