2008 Dodge Caliber Tires Problems

“2008 Dodge Caliber sxt: bought the car from dealer in morehead city, nc. After 24k miles had to replace tires because they were already worn. When tires were replaced out of my pocket the service dept failed to do an alignment. Now 19k miles later my tires bridgestone turanza's p215/60r17 are already worn out again. Upon inspection by the dealership, they determined that it was air pressure problem that caused it to wear and also my inner tire rods were already worn. …”

“I was in georgetown ontario on the weekend and got in my car to drive back to windsor on monday oct 8th. The tire pressure light came on but we had frost overnight and knew this was a normal change in tire pressures. I stopped at the gas station and put air in tires and made sure they were all the same pressure. The tire pressure warning light immediately went out. We drove for about an hour and the tire pressure light went on again. I stopped at the next service center on the 401 and checked the tires. I could see the right front valve stem was cracked. …”

“I bought a used 2008 Dodge Caliber with 14,100 miles on it. The tires weren't right from the night I brought it home. I called and complained, the dealership said that they put new brakes on it and to give it a few days to see if it would get better. It did not, I still had a pulsing or thumping noise in the front end. I took it back, they said nothing was wrong with it. I asked about the tires and I was told the tires passed inspection . I took my car to a friend who rotated and balanced the tires, and was told I had a bad tire, it wasn't round or something like that. …”

“I took my Caliber in for some warranty work. They found the left strut was bad. They ordered the part. I went back in the next week for the strut and alignment. While they were driving back from the alignment place, they had an accident in my car. They fixed it. I have since then brought it back to a roar in the car. They told me my tires were bad. I asked if it could be because of the alignment was out and they said no. I asked if it could be because of the accident, again no. Who in their right mind would align a car with bad tires. They have made no deal for me in this matter. …”

“On 09/19/2008, my very first state inspection on my brand new vehicle, I was denied a window sticker, and was told that it was because three of my tires had a slight bubble on the sidewall of each. These are the original tires that came with the vehicle that I purchased on 02/29/2008. So I called good year and they told me to take it to a service dealer for inspection of them. I did. The tire company told me that the tires are radial tires, and they normally do have that slight little bulge on them. My position is what do I really know I am being pushed back and forth between the two. …”
