“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 #10731561, filed 2015-07, 97,000 miles“I bought my 2007 Dodge Caliber Awd in may of 2012. After I had my daughter in march 2014, I realized that my car was going crazy! She was in the nicu and I had to go see her as often as I could, which these problems prolonged her stay. When I started the car, sometimes it wouldn't start....bought a new battery, so that wasn't it... Then my hazards, gauges (except gas gauge) and a bunch of lights all flashed and it dinged at the same time. I havent been able to get a tow to the dealership, get to doctor appointments ( I am disabled) or get my daughter to her appointments. …”
