Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I purchase a used 2007 Dodge caliber se 4 door sedan in october of 2008. The car had 14528 miles at time of purchase. The car always had a front end issue. In 2010, with less than 40,000 miles, I brought the car for tires because I was informed that the tires were worn on the inside tread, and it was dangerous to continue driving with them in that condition. I took the car to have the tires replaced at the cost of $600, but was informed that it was because of the design of the car that the tires wore the way they did. …”

“There were no events leading up to any of these failures. I simply bought a brand new 2007 Dodge caliber in june of '06 and to date have experienced the following problems: 1. A humming noise (similar to that of a rice burner car) in the rear of the vehicle that took over three trips to the service department (from august 2006 to january 2007) and a total of 20 days being out of service is at present repaired. 2. There is a rattle underneath the car, either coming from the middle or the rear when not applying the gas and simply cruising down the road. But when I hit the gas it goes away. 3. …”

“2007 Dodge Caliber Awd, tie rod ends had to be changed with only 17,000 miles on it. Back in sept. 2009. Now with only 29,000 miles on it . During a state inspection on 22, oct. 2011 now I am told both front lower control arms with ball joints are bad. Their should be no reason for this . The car drives only on well paved roads. What is Dodge doing about this ? Dealership knows about this big problem. But can not do anything until a recall.! ! ( cost 800.00 dollars )”
