2010 Dodge Caliber Electrical system Problems

“2010 Dodge Caliber with headlight failures caused by faulty fuse box (tipm). I replace bulbs and one headlight will not light low beam or high beam. All the fuses are good. It has also affected how the car runs and has stalled on the road. This is the 4th or fifth incident I have had with the car, headlights, stalling, turn signals, air bag indicators. The headlights will not work moving or sitting still and turn signals.”

“I had been driving for a few hours at approximate 65 MPH. Some of which was on cruise. All of a sudden my vehicle started slowing down. My speedometer said 60 MPH. However, I was probably at 30. I stepped on the gas and the RPM went high but I didn't get any speed. Basically, the speedometer wasn't recording the speed I was at and the transmission was not working in increasing speed. …”

“While driving vehicle during winter, heat shut off. After turning heat back on (moving knob to off position and then back on) there was an electrical smoke smell in the cabin. Once the vehicle was parked, a large amount of smoke appeared to be coming from the air conditioner blower control knob and the area above the knob was hot to the touch almost to the point where I was concerned that I may need to call the fire department to have them check for fire. When car was turned on again, the blower motor would not start.”

“While I was driving on the turnpike (70 MPH) my etc light began flashing and my car began to shake and drop down in speed. Luckily, I was able to move off to the side of the road quick enough before I was in a serious accident. My car ultimately ended having to be towed because the etc light would not turn off and I could not get the car to drive more than 2-5 MPH. I am getting rid of this car. It was a very scary experience and I no longer feel safe in it since I take the turn pike every day.”

“Smoke was coming out of the off and on knob for heat/air.. I also had a cd in my cd player as I was traveling on a royal road, a strange smell was also coming from the smoke. I pulled over lifted the hood and seen no fire. I turned the knob off, removed the cd and waited a few minutes and started my car. I am wary to put a cd back in the player... I think that is what caused it but it may have been my temperature knob,, had the blower on for cool air vent.... Not AC or heat, just vent air on high.”
