Replying to: pmccord (May 23, 2008 7:22 am) I read that Chrysler intends to upgrade the Caliber platform interiors starting with the Jeep in 2009. The Caliber will be upgraded later in the cycle.   The Caliber platform vehicles are the Caliber, Avenger, Sebring, Jeep Patriot, and Jeep Compass.
#1607 of 1634 AC Leak by gman64 Jun 08, 2008 (4:11 am)
Our 2007 Dodge Caliber RT, 13000 miles has developed a leak into the interior front passenger compartment of the vehicle. It "appears" to be AC related? Water is visibly entering the passenger compartment and can be seen more predominantly on the passenger side but also in the area of the gas pedal. There is also a distinct sound of water running when turning at a slow speeds to the left, with the sound coming from the right front area. The problem continued even after shutting the AC off for 30 miles.   Emailed dealer today, Sunday of course so no answer. Will follow up after repairs, hopefully?

Replying to: gman64 (Jun 08, 2008 4:11 am) Your probably right on with your diagnosis because that's where the AC evaporater overflow drains out in the gas pedal area. I have seen 2 or 3 posts in the past two years about the drain in the engine compartment becoming clogged and creating this problem. If you lift the carpeting up in that area you can see the hose and the hole it goes thru.

Replying to: gman64 (Jun 08, 2008 4:11 am) Gman64, check your condenser drain tube. My 89 Shadow (many years ago) had a condenser tube that was plugged up. Because it had not been used in a long time, (2.5 years or so), the rubber just sealed itself shut. After about an hour of highway driving, I noticed the water on the floor, got out, looked for the drain tube to be leaking water and it didn't happen. Crawled under side of vehicle, squeezed the drain tube together and broke the temporary seal and lost at least a quart of water. I would assume either it's that or drain tube has separated from the drain pipe. It's a simple fix, just access might be difficult. At 13K miles and roughly a year old, it's not your problem.

Replying to: gbanker_33 (Jun 30, 2008 7:04 am) If your are still within your warranty coverage TSBs are to performed free of charge. I had 18-031-07 done on mine over a yr ago and it made a noticeable difference. There is a procedure you can do yourself that may help and this is a proven method tested by many Caliber owners. 1-Turn the ignition to RUN but DO NOT start. 2-Depress the gas pedal to the floor SLOWLY while counting to 15. 3-Release the gas SLOWLY again counting to 15. 4-Turn ignition to OFF and remove key. 5-Restart and take a test drive. This procedure recalibrates the linarity of the fly by wire accelerator. You can do this as often as you feel needed.

#1614 of 1634 Front spring isolators by mike299 Jul 06, 2008 (5:09 am)
Hi this is my first posting, Has anyone ever had this happen. My front coil spring isolator came apart on me while driving down the highway and after that happened my steering would make an awful grinding noise. I have had it repaired under warranty but just thought it odd that that would happen. I drive an 08 caliber s/e . Replies to this message: bigtsr (Jul 06, 2008 6:38 am)

Replying to: mike299 (Jul 06, 2008 5:09 am) Sorry to hear of your suspension problem. I have frequented a number of Caliber forums for over 2 yrs now and this is the 2nd post (doesn't mean there aren't others) I have seen about that problem. The other post was a '07 Caliber mfg'd in early '06.
