2012 Dodge Caliber Vehicle speed control Problems

“My oils and fluid levels were fine. I have about 74,000 on my vehicle, and just had a recent oil change about 300 miles or so ago. While driving around 35 MPH on a local street, my vehicle''s check engine light and ABS light came on. The steering went out and I immediately lost the ability to steer or maintain speed. I coasted my vehicle into a wendy's. I immediately restarted my car, and made it into the parking lot before losing the ability to steer and manage my speed, again. I managed to get it the 2 miles or so home. I got it towed, and I am waiting to hear from the dealership.”

Neighbor's houses and a public road were at the base of hill. The vehicle was unoccupied. Tied car off to a tree to prevent roll over. Car is now at a Dodge dealership. …”

“When braking the electric throttle control light flashes momentarily. It does not stay on. The car does not brake completely at these times and continues to accelerate and move forward another foot or two despite pressing the brake. When braking today the car continued to accelerate faster while the foot was on the brake. In researching this, it seems the Caliber specifically has a history of etc or electric throttle issues. Years affected by this safety issue include 2007 through 2012; but there is no official recall from Dodge. This is a recall necessary issue! …”

“Ignition key can be removed from any position. Drive, neutral, reverse or any. This lets vehicle key be removed without being in park position. The 2012 Dodge Caliber can just roll away. Caught car a few times rolling. Now had a very recent serious crash. It was sitting behind house and rolled down a steep hill through trees, with body damage. It was stopped by trees and winched out of the woods. Did not hit neighbors house below and no one was in the car to be injured.”

“Rear speed sensor went messing with traction control cruise control and ABS system none of them working sue to one sensor on one wheel not working properly after a wheel bearing hub went and got replaced.”
