2010 Dodge Caliber Steering Problems

“I parked my car in parking lot while car was in drive turned off the ignition and I withdrew my key from the ignition and left the car. When I returned to the car 3 people were leaning against the rear of the car to keep it from rolling out into 2 other cars. The door was locked and the shift was still in drive. This is a safety hazard. The Dodge mechanic found that the shifter is broken internally and needs to be replaced.”

“Suspension cross member frame, struts, bushings & sway bar. Took car in for routine oil change. Mechanic inspected car & noticed severe rusting on front cross member. So, bad that my car was not safe to drive. I was told there was a recent recall from Dodge that had expired in 2018. I never saw this recall notice. I did get the airbag recall notice & took my car ro Dodge to fix in spring 2018. They could have fixed the crossmember at that time. The mechanic also had to replace struts, bushing & suspension stabilizer sway bar as a result of the rusted suspension cross member.”

“Ok so let me start by saving lives there is a serious problem with all these Caliber the subframes are rotting in half I know because I have 3 other people who have this stupid car and they rusted in half on them also things to add to this car is there is no upper ball joint which cause the lower control arms to go bad is the shocks are bad I had to replace pretty much everything and also had to replace CVT 20k miles into this hunk of crap CVT is bad and the bands they use are cheap but also seems to be a cooling problem with there set up for transmission with cause them to heat up and burn…”

“Electrical throttle control light has popped up several times and I've noticed it's when it has rained. When this happens, the car slows down and causes forcefully pull over and shut the car off. It doesn't start after the first few tries and eventually does. The car began to overheat after driving it over 60mph for about 20mins. The car has given me the engine coolant temperature warning symbol when this happens, making an ugly almost screeching sound,slows down the car until I can't push the gas any longer causing me to pull over to turn off the car until it restarts again. …”

“Takata recall. My car keeps on blowing the rear tire about every 6-8 months.my steering wheel also shakes/vibrates when driving over 55 MPH. The tires are wearing uneven. I have discovered that there is a rear cross member recall for my car which would explain this. I will be taking my car in to be aligned however I would like to know how to get the recall honored before doing so”
