2007 Dodge Caliber Engine Problems

“Engine cradle is completely rusted out on our 2007 Dodge Caliber sxt. I have never seen something like this on a car that's not too old. Looking at the engine cradle it has a hole about 12 inches round and along the engine cradle support or whatever its called that sticks up in the air welded to the cradle ...updated 07/30/15 the consumer stated the part was replaced at not charge. Updated 08/13/14”

“Upon start up the service engine light came on. I checked the gas cap and that did not correct the problem. After 2 or 3 days the light was still on. I decided to take it in to the dealer to have it looked at. After running a diagnostic they determined that the problem was a faulty intake manifold. Which they told me wasn't covered under warranty.”

“While trying to accelerate on highway vehicle began to jerk and lose speed. Now when I press the gas pedal it hesitates and at high speeds jerks and loses power. Truck behind me had to slam on brakes and almost caused severe accident. Dodge needs to fix immediately. I don't have any money to even try to fix since I don't know where to start. Please help all of us Dodge Caliber owners.”

“The car will lose all power when driving, almost at a complete stop. The first 2 times it happened were at night (the second during a complete downpour) and since I lose all power, the hazard lights won't even work so I have to get out of the car to alert other drivers so that they won't hit me!! So dangerous!! The first fix was to do a full computer system re-flash ($300). The second fix was to replace the transmission control module ($600). …”

“My car was parked, upon trying to start the car, no luck. Had the car towed to the dealer. Fuel pump was the initial diagnosis, but then also the wiring harness was melted. $642.69 later my car was running. Not a happy camper.”
